Do you have to be suddenly so bloody sensible! Its horribly confusing and not at all sporting!!!

Just a quick note, not really anything special but if we win it will be our 5th away win in a row in SL, lets take the 16 (or is it 17) away from St Helens this season

Don't tempt fate!

Mind you St Helen's didn't count their defeat in their "winning" run did they?

If that is your team for the game then i fancy our chances. i think the two 13s are pretty similar but i think our bench will be a lot stronger than yours which should give us the edge.

I'm only hazarding a guess, but I wouldn't say it will be a whole lot stronger as Hall will provide some good impact and he and Lynch can both play 60 minutes each, but i'm not sure whether he'll chuck Crossley in yet to strengthen our front row.

going by last year,they were 3rd in the league and 2nd in the challenge cup



really cant say which was this is gonna go,obviously i hope our distractions dont distract us too much,or the lack of a meaningful pre season, im sure the bulls will be fired up for it as they are now 2nd fiddle to the giants

lets hope its a cracking game a big crowd,great atmosphere and a good example of what RL is about

Looking forward to the game but it's going to be tough. If we sneak a win I'll be well chuffed.

Unlikely. It is at Huddersfield.

Stephen Wild = Steve Menzies?

Steve Menzies > Stephen Wild

Wild will not be on the bench he is injured

My bad



Who's playing Loose for you lot then?

Errm yes. As well as Andy Pandy and Picturebook..........mind you I can't remember what I did this morning!

i'd guess at faiumu myself,but we are fairly flexible in the sqaud now so could be aspinwall




as for the big crowd comment if half the bradford fans hadn't deserted they would still bring 4,000 and guarantee a big crowd with our 7,000

We have a few options with out Wild , in Grix, Faiumu and Graeme Horne.

We actually have no idea what Brown's team is likely to be but i would suspect Horne. Has really bulked up from his skinny days at Hull. ( i did not recognise from his Hull days) he looked VG at the Cas game and set up a lovely try. Brown was very complimentary about him. I reckon he could have a good season with us. It may be his last chance to have any sort of Rugby career.

Probs Horne or Faiumu.

Whoever it is is in no way shape or form similar to Steve Menzies.

Daft Apeth.

Nail ont head

Let us just hope you are never wrong in this regard too, eh? I'd rather not tempt fate personally!

You don't have to tempt fate, Adey.

You don't believe that either are equal to the Beaver, do you?

Indeed no! But I still prefer not to give them any ammunition to beat us up with afterwards should the game develop not necessarily to our advantage...

We're not going to lose, Adey.

Beware, you could end up looking stupid. I obviously hope not though

Repeat after me

"Positive Mental Attitude"

I'm already optimistic and positive about the forthcoming season, however stating that it's a certainty that we'll win a game is something I will not do (after Celtic last year anyway).

I think we have a fair chance, but its by no means a cert.

Admit it, there is doubt in your mind, isn't there?

Of course there's doubt in my mind, it's the first game of the season, our scrum-halfs only played 1 game (admittedly impressively) and its against the team that finished 3rd last season.

I think we'll win, but I am by no means certain.
