Three of our last four games V Leigh have had full team brawls, whilst we were winning comfortably. What happened in your first league game?

Its what they do and we keep getting drawn in. We will suffer with the suspensions but that's rugby.

It will be a good clean game and try to enjoy your weekend.

Don't you think they'd be better playing it at Odsal?



I mean I know Blackpool is closer for the Noth west clubs like Leigh, Whitehaven, Workington, Halifax and Featherstone.



But given that two thirds to possibly three quarters of the gate will be Bradford fans as we're much bigger than everyone else the RFL could have encouraged a much larger gate at Odsal.



It's Iconic, is less run down than Blackpool, pitch has slightly better drainage and it's closer.



Loads of room for the fan zone. Makes total sense.

I think we need to go further to put the lower leagues on the map. Ideally I'd like to see every fixture home and away at Odsal for the reasons you mention. The consistency enables you to strike TV deals and all fans of all clubs to formulate their travel arrangements easily.

An extra home game for Bradford just because your bigger than everybody else? This sounds ridiculous mate! Headingley would have been ok but realistically 'too' far from Cumbrian team to travel. Just a shame Manchester doesn't have 15-20000 venue then nobody could have complained.

Do we really need the other clubs or are they a distraction in terms of what's being marketed?

I don't see why we can't retain the existing squads of players but re-badge the various teams as Bradford Centurions, Bradford Bulldogs, Bradford Rams etc.



That way we can pool our marketing resources and really sell the product as a truly Bradford based global game.

Sorry to clarify I didn't mean every fixture for one weekend, I meant every fixture of the entire season.

I think i've read enough sarcasm for one day so see you all at Blackvegas! come on you blues!

If you want to see it that way. I was just thinking about maximising exposure for the sport but you prefer to just think about things from a Fax numero uno point of view.



Well at least with the current format you get to play another game in Lancashire so it's almost a home game for you.



Sheesh

As other posters have stated Lauaki must be on fire in training if that's the criteria for getting in the 19 ahead of our other prop choices. If being readied for the middle 8's couldn't we send him to Oxford for a bit of practice? I know he's supposed to be our impact prop but for the 20 minutes game time he gets - our water carriers make more yardage.....give Samir / Davies et al a chance and let's assess the real differences.



2300+ Bulls fans should really have the place rocking.

There would be more at Odsal

Slightly off topic. Didn't Ryan Bailey look splendid for Cas last night, I really wish we had signed him and not Crossley
