Missing/Injured

Hanbury, O'carroll, Marsh, Mellor, Kavanagh, Allen, Isa, Carberry.



Just shows the strength of the squad when we can have a fair bit of quality missing and still look reasonably strong. Jack to full back it has to be.

Hanbury will be a miss. Can see Owens at FB, Gilmore and Brown in the halves and Craven bench.

You could add Lawton,Gore and Declan Hulme too. These young lads playing very well at the Crusaders. The only player I think won't get any game time is Pickgersgill. Gore I think will be sent to Crusaders soon and I feel Pickgersgill needs to go on loan.

Think one of your number may have answered my question but is pay on gate available for the away stand or will I need a ticket?

You will need a ticket mate. The gym reception under the West Stand sells them before the game. Have a good day mate.

Ta thanks very much, would get it from bradford but lIving near Wigan bit of a trek for a ticket, plus may not get chance to go so works out for me to pay on day

Glad to be of help, and near enough a home game for you then. Should be a good game, and I am glad of new owners for your club.

Yeah near enough haha, betts really has drilled a great mindset into your team, cut out some daft errors and you will make top 8 I'd even push as far as top 6, no hard feelings towards Widnes seeing as what you chairman gave to bradford during the quest.

Just need to get a prop or two or I fear we are slipping further away after today.

I will go out on a limb and say Bradford will stay up. Maybe barely - but they've already clawed back some of the points they need and if they weren't docked points they would be out of the relegation zone, and teams like Wakefield look just as fragile right now. With the news of the new owner I think they'll do enough. It's a marathon not a sprint and they've given us a game today.

Despite being 4th we're not firing on all cylinders or even where we want to be but we've not got too much to complain about right now have we?

Anyway good luck for the rest of the season.

I thought we played poorly today and missed Mellor, Hanbury and Isa. Tom Gilmore will be a good one in the future but needs more experience in the Championship. Today he was poor.

Why was Hanbury out?

Hamstring pull against Hull FC.
