This is going to be a battle of the big packs with Paea and Manuokafao going head-to-head in what could be a bruising encounter! Mika lining up against Langley is just as juicy lol!

The Bulls main strength IMO is at acting half - both Diskin and L'estrange (spelling) will need to be marshalled, and also Langley. Then there is the enigma Sammutt, who can be brilliant on his day.

I cannot see beyond a Rovers win (36-10) if the team can reproduce the defensive effort they showed against Widnes.

their injury list is the biggest in the league so a home banker for me

Gonna be my first home game of the season due to work commitments! Cant wait, Im going for a home win 34 - 12 the wife seems to think it will be closer! but what does she know? Condolences to the soldiers who lost their lives, think there should be some kind of minutes silence or something, most of em yorkshire lads, and probably rugby league fans! Come on you reds!

Good shout that about the minutes silence.

As long as we front up for the first twenty I think we should be fine, they're light on props so if we can draw them into a war of attrition then hopefully we'll have enough to finish them in the final quarter.

could be interesting.....

just hope the man in the middle doesn`t spoil it by being the show pony....

Just want the lads to give a bit of consistency and give us a performance for the full 80mins.. But we certainly cannot underestimate the bulls ...so i reckon a close game myself.. and a slight win by around 7pts..

I go along with Sandra and the minutes silence

I nominate Mr T to contact Smithy proposing the Minutes Silence, which is a brilliant idea BridHKR.

We could have those Army men march out to put the ball down, too? I'd like that.

When the Army are in town, it's usually a rowdy atmosphere.

The game itself, If the Bulls haven't improved we will tear them a new one.

dum-dum, I made the request this morning. I am always on tenterhooks when news breaks about casualties and deaths from Afghanistan (previously it was Iraq), because my nephew and my daughter's partner (and her step brother) are in the Yorkshire Regiment

I have rec'd a response from Mike Smith and he says he is on with it.

Good lad!

Will we get the soldiers at MS3CP this weekend? I always think the atmosphere improves with the forces in attendance.

Personally, I don't have a problem with Ganson, never really noticed major issues when he's reffed us, it's just t'other lot who think he's the anti-christ.

We know better, that honour belongs to James Child.

Mike's got back to me, he has to go through certain channels and is waiting on an answer from RFL and Sky.

I cannot imagine they will stand in the way; can you imagine the outrage if they did!!!!
