What do we expect? Will we finally see Fax put in a full eighty minute performance in the league? Will Lachlan be back, how will Ryan Lannon effect the forwards influence? Bradford's season seems to have followed a similar course to ours, very stop start. The bulls are definitely, on paper, much improved on last year but they have also served up a couple of shockers against York and Keighley. Prediction wise it's almost impossible to say what the outcome will be considering both sides early season form. If Fax do at last click i can see only two points for us but it's about time we did put in that eighty minute display. We'll see. Up The Fax! :thumb:

Very difficult to predict which is why I’m not. It Could easily go either way. Play like we did against Fev in the cup and we win play like we on Sunday and we lose. Hope it’s a good hard game and we cut out the silly mistakes and easy penalties.

On paper our team looks quite a bit better than theirs and there isn't many of their players that you would pick in front of ours if you were to pick from the two teams and that for me just shows how far our form has been off so far this season. The irony is not lost on me though that one of their players I would have in our side is Joe Arundel.

A lot will depend on the makeup of Bulls squad - they're potentially missing Walker, Lawrence, Thompson and Gill injured plus 3 loan players suspended, that's a lot of quality to strip out if a team and if all those are missing I'd be very disappointed if we couldn't manage a win.

Fair points but if we finally click we should be fine, it's all about us. :thumb:

I'd say you're definitely favourites. We'll be missing Walker and Lawrence for sure. There's major doubts about Gill. Thompson I think will be back but Rogers, Roby and Johnson are all suspended. We'll be light up front and very inexperienced on the left edge. To win we'll need to play better than any game this season so far and have a slice of luck. Fax by 20 I reckon.

It is a tough one to call with both sides being up and down in there performances so far this year. Prediction wise i will go for a fax win 24-16. And just out of interest in the 2 games we have coming up against Bradford and i would be interested in Bradford fans take on this too if you could only win one of those games which would you pick. For me i would choose the cup game not just to get into the sixth round but also we would be in the semis of the 1895 cup and just 80 minutes away from a day out at Wembley.

As already said both sides have been inconsistent in their performances and it’s different to assess we’re both teams are at . Team selection will be interesting with Lannon and gannon available for selection. The centre position is a tricky one , maizon has shown flashes of what he can do , McComb has been inconsistent but has always performed well against Bradford, part of me would be tempted to play woody there and pickersgill at fullback because woody is just an all round better player but he’s been so good at fb it would be a risk .

Aye, leave well alone with Woody. He's found his rightful place and is the best full back at the club. It would be daft to move him.

Spent years finding Woody's position and it's not centre..I would try Gannon at centre to try and eradicate some of the soft try's we concede there,but no-one probably agrees...
