I hope there isn't a red card. There should have been one last week at Cas when Horne absolutely coat hangered Farrimond. Then he (Horne) gets 6 match ban for trying to lift Ellis off the floor. Smith is referee tonight. Hope we don't get the refereeing freak show we got at our place in round one v Leigh from L Moore.

Of course Field and French make a difference to Wigan when they play as opposed to when they don't. That's why Wigan employ them and pay them the money they do, to win the club games. So far it seems to be working ok. Wigan may have the biggest spend but any club can out spend Wigan if they so wish as long as they comply with the salary cap. Which obviously Wigan do. As for the VR decision being the game changer and Wigan getting the decision. Maybe so, maybe not! What was the worst decision of the night was the penalty given against Cas for the head shot on Farrimond. That was a send off every day of the week. Direct to the head, no mitigation as Farrimond wasn't falling and at the stage in the game when Wigan were being 20-18. It was also a try denying head shot. The Cas player was beaten and JF would have scored but for the forearm into his head. A penalty try anyone? We can all claim our team was hard done by decisions but lets all watch the whole game not just the bits that disadvantage our team.

Bradford Bulls Fans Forum Tonight
Father Ted replied to The Daddy's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
The reason I wrote that was Odsal and its high cost maintenance was the cause of their repeated financial problems. Unless the Bulls have a wealthy backer then those past problems will persist. That was why I mentioned ground sharing in a new stadium with Huddersfield. From a ground that is beyond Bradford's ability to finance safely a new stadium would rid both clubs of their current problems. In a new stadium Bradford could be in SL and if on field results were good they'd stay there without financial worries. -
Bradford Bulls Fans Forum Tonight
Father Ted replied to The Daddy's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Salford going out due to financial troubles and being replaced by Bradford is just about as wrong as it can get. Since Bradford last won the SL Grand Final how many forms of the Bulls have gone into administration? Usually after having to meet the astronomical costs of maintaining Odsal to Health and Safety standards. I'm sure the level of money spent on players both first team and academy is very good but it will all be for nothing if they are struggling with the costs of running Odsal. Odsal is a financial sink hole and the Bulls should be thinking of a new stadium. Has anyone thought about Bradford sharing with Huddersfield on the border near the M62? A new modern stadium could solve the problems of both clubs. Controversial probably but a new purpose built stadium could resolve troubles both clubs are currently facing.
