personally I think its a good move by baloo given that we have a far more important game 4 days later!
my only problem is that the young lads could be overawed and we get heavily beaten,thus deflating the entire squad,however I am more than confident that the team we play is more than capable of giving Bradford a decent run.

I wonder if sky will be banging on about our "kids" like they do with the likes of wigan leeds saints etc?

don't forget to all congregate together at the side and lets make lots of noise for the lads!

Looking forward to see how the future of our club shapes up. Some of those names are being predicted as superstars in the making.

Correct decision by Baloo - some players have barely missed a game all season and with the turn around we don't want to take any chances. On a different note, loved the write up in the Mirror about the Wigan-Rhino's gameWigan need only a draw to finish third and secure a visit to Warrington in the play-offs. Defeat and it's a daunting trip to champions Huddersfield.'"

Great decision by coach of the year, but....I'd have picked craig k , and asked him to kick off for us, do a jig of celebration, and then immediately substitute the trophy winning ex bulls captain.

I wouldn't worry about getting badly beaten, we are missing half a dozen first team players ourselves and look set to blood some juniors of our own. Add to that the fact that we were abysmal last week against the Broncos and you could very well see a Hudds victory on Saturday!
Like a few of you have mentioned, your whole team should be well fired up for this one, aiming to impress and force their way in to contention for the playoffs. Our guys will have one eye on their jollies - as they seem to have had for quite a few weeks now

I'm thinking a celebratory conga up and down odsal is an ABSOLUTE MUST.

Haha! That'd be good to watch. There'd be plenty of room around the end to do it too. Although I do hope they'd be no intimidation of us (Bulls) standing on the terraces. All it takes is one prat from either set of fans for it to turn nasty.

Just join the back of the line and have everyone congaing

This made me laugh at my screen like a weirdo

haha now that would be worth the admission and then some

Bet 365 Evens Bradford -12

Fill your boots and cover to cost of the play off campaign by getting on that.

By Saturday Bradford will be about 1/4 for the win and +18 or so on the handicap and Sammut should have a field day.

Now when we did this against Bradford some years back we got called all names under the sun, by many clubs. Interesting how ethics are adjusted as you ascend.


Personally I don't see an issue with a coach picking a side to win, even if that is the long term win over a short term loss. But it will be interesting to see if Sky batter you as much as they did us on that day.

And that was before anyone knew about the bets at the bookies.
