T & A:


Game now taking place Sunday 26th Jan KO 3pm.

Should be a good chance to see how we are shaping up for the new season. It was good last year.

Always nice to go to Dewsbury, decent ground and decent supporters.
Bulls usually play quite a few juniors in these matches so it will be good to have a look at them also

I love the friendly at Dewsbury; nice atmosphere and you know the new season isn't too far away.

could be some competition with Dewsbury for those same juniors as the linkup has been renewed meaning all our players will also be dual regd Dewsbury players. Sam Wood for one looks to be following in the footsteps of OBrien and it should provide a similar developmental environment for him to push on in the same way. with the world cup players coming back late they presumably will be in contention for the cas game - so its going to be an interesting selection. I would guess Henry will be in there, likewise George

Not sure overseas players are eligible, which would rule out Henry but it only does good for player development imo.

I think he meant that Henry will play at Dewsbury with George - not go on loan to them. I also like this game as it does start to get you ready for the new season.

overseas players aren't eligible, meaning, if I've got it right, Henry wouldn't be able to play for Dews.

This game now on the 26th, still 3pm according to the T&A

Bulls squad to face Dewsbury (kick-off 3pm): Brad Adams, Danny Addy, Sam Bates, Adam Brook, Nathan Conroy, Stephen Copeland, Jamie Foster, Lee Gaskell, Jordan Gale, Nick Gomersall, Adam Henry, Elliot Kear, Manase Manuokafoa, Joe Philbin, Oliver Roberts, James Saltonstall, Adam Sidlow, Tom Walker, Emmerson Whittel, Sam Wood.

Looks like we're going for an actual game rather than one sided affair we've seen last couple of times. Be good to see what some of our younger players are capable off to give us an idea of our squad depth.
Has Luke George got a knock? Thought he'd get a run out this week after his absence last week.

I just hope the game is still on as the weather today has been terrible

Forecast is for heavy rain and gales.

Should feel just like home for us.

If this appalling weather keeps up I can't see today's game taking place. The last thing we want is injuries in a pre-season friendly.

Just asked club via twitter. Game is ON.

Should make for a tight, low scoring mudfest.

Rams 10 Bulls 4 HT score.

Dewsbury running away with it, 20-4 to the Rams.

32-4 now, bit of a disaster really.

Full time 38-4 to the Rams.

Hardly a disaster. Bradford had a weakened team today. Well played Dewsbury.

Shows that if we have an injury crisis we'll be up the creek given the small squad. A lot of young players out there today given a lesson.

Not sure I'd say up the creek. One or two of those players slotting in alongside regular first team would be under a lot less pressure. It would have to be a massive injury crisis to see anything like as many of backup players in team as we saw today. Entire spine of team was effectively 3rd or 4th choice players for that position.
Notice Karl hasn't changed. As soon as fists started flying he managed to get subbed.

TBH, if we or any other team had the sort of injury crisis that meant putting out the type of squad we used today then they're always going to struggle.

Farce.

Cummins should be sacked.

Joke & disgrace.
