Bradfords strength is in the pack and the platform they provide for their best player, Lee Gaskell.



Stop Bradfords pack and you negate Gaskell!



I've gone for a big bench to maintain midfield dominance while retaining and adding some players who can get us to and through the Bulls outside channels.



IMO that's the way to beat them

L Smith

Johnstone

Tupou

Arundel

Owen

Miller

T Smith

Anderson

Sio

Scruton

Ashurst

Malloy

Washbrook



Godinet

Lauitiiti

Mulally

Walker



Simon, Yates, Anakin, Moore

I'd love to see Godinet back, I think his creativity could be key to unlocking the Bulls.



Walker and Mullalley can be highly influential too, they are forwards who do make the yards and work effectively.



I agree with comments on other threads, I think Johnstone should be given a game. He has fabulous pace and I think his positional awareness has improved considerably since Brian Smith arrived. He could revel in this sort of match.

MUST win game. Let's get BV packed and make some serious noise for the boys.

Over 6,000 at Bradford yesterday. If we get close to that number on Saturday at least we'll have something to be thankful for.

Depending on injuries, I don't think there will be too many changes from yesterday.

Smith looked good at FB, so leave him there and try and find a spot for Ali, someone who can win a game single handed.



Tim Smith second half was the best he's been all season so, maybe the worm has turned and we can show the rest of "the qualifiers"

that we mean business.



Home games (and against Championship opposition) are must wins, especially for us, having come second yesterday.

I was not sure about the new league format, but I tell you what...it's rekindled our season and the fans interest. We are now talking about the games & looking forward to them with excitement & anticipation.



Never thought I would say this, but.....well done The RFL!!

Hard to call as I haven't seen Bradford play at all this year; they've violated us plenty of times in the past mind you, which is enough to make me feel decidedly uneasy about this one.

The good thing from our pov yesterday is that every member of our 18man squad has had SL or NRL experience. And experience of playing at that pace and intensity. So it shouldn't be a surprise.



Slight gamble from our side is that Dane Neilsen will be parachuted straight into a centre berth at the expense of (probably) Henry rather than Purtell.



This'll be good. We took about 2k to Leigh at the start of the season, this run of (effectively) 7 cup finals has really caught the imagination and we should take the same again I would think.



It's only the 2nd game and the stakes are huge. I don't know if my nerves will take this. I love sport...

Anderson is poor weak player ( anyone know why he was allowed to go to Amsterdam the weekend before a big game ) , Simon is not a 13, Moore is a poor player.

Tim Smith has to play as he is our only creative player.

Got to presume that Godinet is not fit, but if was fit then Coach Smith made another poor selection. So for me he has to play against Bradford.

Anakin must play.

On paper Bradford are a much better team than us, they are bigger, fitter, faster, more skillful, have a better kicking game, have confidence from winning games. So we are going to have to be at our best to have a chance. That said we ran Salford close and they are a better team than us. I think that if Coach Smith selects the right players in their correct position we have a chance all be it a small chance of upsetting the odds.

Im sorry but I dont agree that Anderson is a weak player, he is one of the better players in our team. Nothing fancy but does his job that hes meant to do.

R lynne would never play for us again if up to me for how he gave up and i thought anderson and scrutton where the 2 worse forwards on pitch for me and deserve dropping
