You can take all those players out and have Chase on form and we still won't beat them. It'll be like down the lane - we'll try and play some rugby, Bradford will slow the game down and suck us into a scrap which we'll fail miserably to compete in. Our crap defence will then lead to a comfortable Bradford win.

The Bulls have masses of injuries and the continuing conjecture around their finances will take there toll. Easy win for cas this one.

I certainly think whoever scores the most points has every chance of going on to win. That said if we can get broadly similar scores then we might take home one point each. I reckon if Chase plays well and Bradford arrive 5 to 10 minutes earlier than expected and there is a light North westerly wind then I still wouldn't be able to call it.

Are you Phil Clarke?

State the obvious in the first two sentences.

I think Bradford are in a very good position at the moment, Injuries aren't ideal but they happen. The depth in the squad means the players are fighting for a place, the ones coming in aren't going to want to be replaced as soon as the others are fit again.

However.. I cant help but think the speculation regarding our finances is going to take it's toll eventually, initially its caused them to pull together.. nearly 3 months later it still hasn't been resolved so it must be a worry for them all.

I feel it'll either be very close, or the lads will prove me wrong and Bulls will win by 12+

Not confident with our injury list, just hoping for a good performance.

Langley's still out which is a big blow, but we have Joseph, Sibbit, O'Brien and Olbison available.

Hopefully we'll see a bit better quality of rugby from both sides than last time at the jungle.

Safe journey over, see you at Odsal.
