Bradford should be pumped for this, add our youngster aiming to impress, has the ingredients for a good game!

Come on u ullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllla!!!!!

Yep that's what I said

If Bowden could only last about 8 mins against Salford, Pearce would be able to last about 40 seconds.

dont honestly think Pearce will ever really make it. Not a big enough engine,would be to much of a luxury! Plus he takes a knock and needs treatment every game nearly at 20s level. At SL level he'd be in a world of pain!

If Gentle can get us through the next month still relatively well placed in SL and with a few more points, he'll have certainly earned his money.

Losing three or four forwards from our paper thin squad was always going to be a huge problem. Tbh, I fear the worst for tonight, the derby and Easter. Obviously, I hope that I'm very wrong but a season defining run of games has come at the wrong time.

So what's behind the Horne rumour? Is he in or out?

He shook it all about. He's ok now

Is there some big mystery here? People seem reluctant to comment on what, if anything, has happened to Horne.

By 'he's ok now' I assume you mean he should be available to play tomorrow?

If Horne and Yeamo are OK then that's a massive boost. Horne to FB, Ellis with Seymour in halves, Whiting loose man, Turner bench back row. Makes bench look little bit better. Woulnd't besurprised if Houghton is asked to play full 80:

O'Carroll
Bowden
Nicklas/Green
Turner

Horne was rumoured to have a neck injury, no official comment so far.

Do you reckon he'll be ok defending in the middle for that long?

Having had a look at the squad on the FC site, it seems not. We have Jack Briscoe listed as a fullback but that is all.

Thanks. Bit worrying,that. I always get twitchy when it comes to Horne and potential neck scares. Hope he's ok and is playing.
