After the positive start to our season with plenty of reasons to be confident coming from the 50-8 victory over Halifax, as we start the new reign of Mick Potter and a new era that offers so much hope for the Bradford club and it's loyal supporters what team would you put out for the game against Dewsbury at the Tetley's Stadium in a fortnight?

I hope we get to see more of O'Brien, Burgess, Bateman, McAvoy and Southernwood.

So I would go with something along the lines of the side that started against Halifax.

Royston
Finigan
Walker
Ah Van
Raynor
Briggs
Herbert
Lynch
L'Estrange
Scruton
Whitehead
Elima
Langley

With Diskin, Kopzcak, Sibbit, Platt, Sykes, Addy, Southernwood, Bateman, Hargreaves, McAvoy, Crookes and Burgess all on the bench.

Looking at the above there is certainly going to be competition for places across the board this year, which holds well for the season ahead.

The admission prices for this pre-season match will be as follows:

Standing:
£13 Adults
£7 Concessions
£2 Under 16s

Seating:
£14 Adults
£9 Concessions + Under 16s

Dewsbury will be using some of the gate money to develop the youth structure at the Tetley's Stadium so I have no problem with £13 (I know I get in free but I'll still be giving my £13 to the Dewsbury club) although it's a £1 rise from last season when it cost £12 to get in.

The Referee is York's Tim Roby.

Looking forward to Sunday already and seeing the 2011 Bradford Bulls in action.

I hope Bradford Give Danny Addy some games this season.
Last season when he was on loan at Dewsbury i was very impressed, if he isn't getting much 1st team action, Bradford have to send him out on loan as playing him in the academy will do nowt for his development

I do agree with your comment about sending the fringe players down to the Championship as it's more competitive then the Valvoline Cup League.

I can't see us sending you Addy though mate with Langley expected to move to the second row, he has the chance to claim the loose forward spot.

Do you know what team Dewsbury will be putting out on Sunday?

Dewsbury will be fielding a near full-strength outfit - similar to the Bulls (joke!) - so it should be a competitive match with a 20 point Bulls win I reckon. Think the only chance of a Dewsbury win is in the curtain raiser.

Spectators arriving early to this Sunday's match against Bradford Bulls will be able to enjoy some junior rugby league action from Shaw Cross Sharks under 11s and Wibsey under 11s, who will be playing Sunday's curtain raiser kicking off at 1.30pm.

If you can make it along to the game, the money raised is a massive help to the club's development work. We have one full-time development manager and he gets round most of the primary schools in the area.

Even though I'm getting in for free with my media pass, I'm still going to pay the £13 to Dewsbury.

Wakefield Ram if you want to say hello, I'll be the large animated chap sat in the yellow press seats

That's still a strong squad we're putting out for this game.

It'll be interesting to see what happens next weekend with the two games in two days against Keighley and Wakefield respectively.

[Tommy The C5t]

well if i as the summariser i'd be doing more of the talking as we'll be scoring at will


PS will do mucker.

You would have the grand job of putting the minutes of the tries and conversions on my game flow chart along with the players that scored the said points and giving me a welcome 60 second break after each score

It was amazing to think that I managed to do the above while running up and down the back of the main stand following play Sunday gone as my transmitter was causing problems for the PA system at Odsal (the club was using the old speedway pa)

By the sounds of it, it was the other way round.Fairly even up to half time and then the Bulls pulled away in the 2nd half.
