Well I have no interest left in the season, but I'll be going on Sunday as it could be a good (if low quality) contest. And 80 mins watching rugby league involving my team is still a decent way to spend the afternoon. Just need to forget the wider context briefly.



For Swinton, this will be the last game before their winding up petition is heard, I think. I wonder how that will effect the players and the numbers of Swinton fans making the trip? Does anyone know if they are on course to avoid being wound up? I know they've raised about 10k on a just giving page but I don't know if that's a significant amount or just scratching the surface?!

This one has the makings of a real classic doesn't it?





Needless to say I won't be bothering wasting my money. I don't think the players

are even that interested judging by what I saw from the highlights from last week. It hardly looked like they were fighting for survival. Defence was laughable.

Assuming they came as a pair from Leeds, the advantages we get from Oledzki have been undermined by Smith. I'm actually thinking it's a worthwhile sacrifice for Leeds to take them both back.

Smiths development at Leeds seems to have stalled, so I assume he was sent to us to see if he could toughen up in a tough league. Judging him by his 1:1 defence, that is still a work in progress.

Totally agree regarding Smith. Hes offered nothing and didnt even look like he wanted to be here. 3 trys on Sunday went straight through him. Deffo not a loss and easily replaced with Wilkinson

No Chapelhow either, he's on the bench for Widnes tonight.

I can imagine the players will be really pumped up for this one; really throwing their bodies into tackles, running to form scrums, trying different tactics, pushing themselves beyond 100% for 80+ minutes, determined to show all the fans what a fortress we've made Odsal.



I've got to be there to witness what could be a mighty battle of gladiators - it will be reminiscent of the bloody battles we used to have with Leeds, nip & tuck, the kop surging as we near the line, the crescendo of COME ON YOU BULLS as we spur the players on.



That winning drop goal just before the hooter goes; the crowd goes wild; despite the torrential rain we stay to clap the players off; then we stream out of the gates, smiling, laughing, recalling each try. We get home, hug the missus, fish and chips on the table, the kids are running around still wearing their replica tops; they'll sleep in them cos they love this team. The world is such a great place to be in, I dont care if its Monday morning tomorrow cos my team, the Bulls won a classic.



I stand on my front porch smiling - then I notice the name on the house I'm living in "Cloud Cuckoo Land"

Haha I liked that.



Don't forget anytime soon Booby Ewing will come out of the shower as well

I remember the days we ruled the world and didn't care a damn for tomorrow! We were the best, people cowered at our name and where-ever we went it was like an invasion!



VOTE LEAVE!!! TAKE BACK CONTROL!!!! BRAXIT is the only way, we can go it alone....we'll be great again!

Peltier back. No sign of Tonga, but only 18 names again.



From the squad, one would guess at:

Pickersgill

Macani

Rickett

Bentley

Campbell

Aston

Keyes

Kirk

Moore

Magrin

Roche

Wilkinson

Sironen

SUBS

Peltier

Caro

Hallas

Davies



Halafihi missing out from the 18 named.





And I realise as I type that out that there's no Oscar Thomas.

Who can kick if we score?

Cory Aston & Joe Keyes have both been regular goalkickers.

Very surprised and happy with that squad. Good opportunity for some younger players to step up. Swinton will rough it up early doors (whats to stop them, referees have been so weak in protecting players this year) we know what to expect early doors
