Quote: Birkbygiant "All this banter about the season so far, yet the only thing that matters and will determine the result is who performs on the day.
I'd like us to reach some of the potential I know we have tomorrow, but having said that if we get the 2 points, I don't mind if we play average at this time of the season - it's about getting points on the board and building a sound base for the business end of the season.'"
Quote: Birkbygiant "One thing is for sure - if we dont turn up ALA Cas we will get beaten again .....although i'm sure NB will have this drummed into the players before every game now.
Bradford are a hell of a better side than they were last year, but, we are better than them in every department i feel and if our main men have their playing heads on it could be an easy day for us......step off the gas though and the Bulls will have us ...cannot be complacent in this one !!'"
Two intelligent posts.
Quote: Birkbygiant "Bulls fans think they're resurgent after beating the current bottom two teams. Sold out 500 Adult tickets therefore there will be more Bradford fans than Giants too.
The only Bullmania these guys have is what they are spouting out of their gobs!'"
Then one to ruin it?
No-one thinks we are resurgent to the extent that we will see us beat anything that comes before us.
However we do believe in our new coach, and our new team. We are nothing like the Bulls you faced last year. And instead of mocking us for selling those tickets, why not praise us? I know if you sold out your allocation when you visit Odsal i'd say well done, lets hope for a cracker.
Again, I'll try and divert the thread to the 80 minutes of RL. I think the potential is there for a cracker. If Herbert finds his feet then we'll be more potent in attack, and our strike players like Platt, Elima, Whitehead will try and break through. Obviously we'll need to deal with the (imo) MoS candidate Danny Brough as he looks to carry on his early season form, and even if we shut him down we'll have to shut down Brown too.
Both sides can (if they cut down errors) offer alot in attack. Your lots defence will be tough to break down, but our goal line defence has been good so far. I think on papar its your match to lose, but early on in the season and both desperately wanting another win, it will be a brutal contest and one that both sets of fans will enjoy, win or lose.
See you all tomorrow, COYB
