Very good halfbacks and a good starting pack, backs are your weak line IMO.

The bench is where we should beat you. Much bigger and more experienced bench.

Is Langley fit?

Kearney is Bradford's danger man for me, Our forwards could struggle a tad with his pace in the centre of the field.

Agree. Dont think wholesale panic changes are needed at this stage.

To a point so do I but I'm not sure that Whiting did as much wrong as Hall on Friday. If Calders is back, drop Hall to the bench rather than Whiting. I know Hall is "first choice" and I'm a fan of both him and Whiting, but we can't afford "pat-a-cake" defence again against Bradford and for me Hall needs to miss out.

Harsh to drop Houghton, he was one of the few that stood out on friday.

Just watched the tries on boots n all and it appeared to be a combination of Whiting hanging Hall out to dry and Hall not been a winger. He tried to fly in a couple of times to smash someone because he would have been left 3v1 and unfortunately for Hall he mis-timed it. They'd have scored either way imo. I'd leave Hall at 3 and put Whiting on the bench to be used to rotate Berro.

Bradford have so far averaged just 9 point/game on there travels this season. Now it would be foolish to take them lightly, however we really should be beat them with something to spare.

If our forwards get on top i would expect us to win it although Bradford do appear to have turned a corner performance wise. That average of 9 points per game is largely impacted by their terrible start isn't it?

I'm not sure it was just Whiting. I've said on another thread it was on both sides, so maybe the tactics were wrong or the players were unable to play them properly. Defence was being sucked in too centrally which meant a long ball either way cut out the entire defensive line. I agree that Hall was hung out to dry, but by the team/plan, not just Whiting.

I also thought that Hall's defence on Friday was atrocious, so I hope he's been training with the tackle bags this week.

They managed just 8 on Saturday. Seriously they aren't very good.

Our defence needs to be though.

I'd like to see hall in the centres this friday. Bradford seemed to struggle with Wires pace out wide last week.

With the players that they have i think writing them offas not very good is dangerous. They haven't clicked yet but they have class in key positions for when they do.

Yeah agree to that as well, you know the more i think of it no one needs a bigger kick in the nads than Berrigan, he was awful last week as well, if he decides again not to turn up the Fuds new boy will run all over him

based on last week I would have H before berro, berro was woeful

That being the case then Hall drops out again

One of the results did include a 7-0 win though. This Bulls side beat Wigan and pushed Warrington closer than the score line suggests ( till Worrincy came on ).

I am expecting Hull to turn us over by like 14 but i wouldn't be too shocked if we turned you over.

Just keep running at Worrincy if he plays.. You'll score enough then.

I'd keep Briscoe in......Taking him out would only knack his confidence up a bit. The kid is devastating when he gets a break.....as we have seen! He's young and ambitious...now wrong wih that IMO and he will only get better if played!!!!

1. Tansey
2. Calderwood
3. Hall
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6. Horne
7. Long
8. O'Meley
9. Berro
10. Radford
11. Manu
12. Tickle
13. Fitz

14. Houghton
15. Hame
16. Cusack
17. Dowes

The main thing i would like to see is Tickle remaining right second rower for the whole game as when Hame comes on he gets moved to the left and our right hand side defence seems to collapse.

Tough game this. Much tougher than the cas one. If they click they will be dangerous. Play like we did last Friday and we'll get beat

Early doors but I do still think this is a massive game for us.
I'd be happy to win it anyway possible, very tough match.
Win and we can kick on against the likes of Salford and Rovers, get beat and I'm getting the feeling it could be a long hard season again.

1. Tansey
2. Calderwood
3. Whiting
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6. Horne
7. Long
8. Dowes
9. Berrigan
10. O'Meley
11. Tickle
12. Manu
13. Fitzgibbon

14. Turner
15. Lauaki
16. Moa
17. Cusack

Turner in as a utility in case things go wrong with the backs. Moa in for Radford, who was ineffective. Calderwood back on the wing for Hall.

After watching the highlights of the Bradford game, they struggled out wide with the pace of Warrington (Atkins and King), for that reason we have to play Hall at centre and Calderwood. Whiting or Houghton on the bench.

South stand sold out for Bradford!!!!

Damn serves me right for not getting tickets in advance!
