Fair enough, we may need him later on in the cup (if we progress). Good to see us on the ball here.

And there was I thinking it was a thread about pre-match music.

They've learnt from the mistake of allowing Koppy to play last year and cup tying him.

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

Would be too confusing. Some people might not want to sit down.

We could really do with him playing on Friday night, but I fully support Bradfords decision to not allow him to play.

Had the whole "cup tying" rule not been in place, I'm sure Bradford would have been fine with him playing. The only reason they will have not allowed it is because he then couldn't play for Bradford if they need him in future rounds.

I would say that if we go out to Catalans and Halifax get through against Widnes, they'll probably let him play in the next round, as it won't make a difference to us.

The statement from the Fax club was spot on when it said they'd probably do the same thing in the same situation, as I'm sure almost every other club would.
