I think one of those seats might have been bought by Kevin Sinfield. I didn't see him on the pitch either.

Good, let's hope Matt Orford goes there as his replacement and we get someone who more obviously wants to play for the Bulls.

I've played in the front row in both amateur codes. When I played RL, during the contested scrum era, the standard scrum involved Team A feeding the scrum with the Team B hooker nearer to the feed than the Team A hooker. The (illegal) objective of the Team A front row was to occasionally (so as not to be constantly penalised) "pinch" the oppostion head by not meshing heads properly and leaving the Team A hooker nearest the feed ... giving almost certain possession. The result; much nutting and retribution with too many weak referees turning a blind eye. Many promising young players were getting bullied and quit the game for soccer or for no other sporting involvement. In RU, the feeding team always has the head, with Team A feeing the scrum with the Team A hooker nearer to the feed than the Team B hooker, and maintaining almost certain possession. The common way for Team B to disrupt this possession was by nutting the Team A front row at the point of engagement, plus illegal binding and boring to subject the Team A hooker to body-torsion. Many promising young players were getting bullied and quit the game for soccer or for no other sporting involvement. There was also the risk of serious injury Both RL and RU addressed the issue of losing players ... the RL by going to uncontested scrums, the RU by controlling the point of engagement and banning low-level scrumming. However, by retaining "proper" scrummaging, the RU has maintained the primary purpose of the scrum which is not (as in RL) merely to restart the game after an infringement, but is also to provide a trial of strength and technique between two organised packs of forwards. A tired pack enables backs to see more ball and to run in less-contested space. I prefer to watch RL but, by God, I loved those RU scrums.

Two poor teams and a poor ref, but it was an enjoyable game to watch.

Interesting to read in today's T&A that Glenn Hall didn't miss the Saints game through injury ... he was dropped and not before time.

Not to mention the pre-match entertainment.

Very sorry to see him go back ... too soon really, like Brett Dallas and Rocket Rod Jensen. Apparently he does a lot of community work as well.

In fairness, that would be no different to the situation in Cumbria and South Wales. I think Brisbane Road would be the best solution, though the pitch looks a bit short ... a tie-in with Barry Hearn would be good for the sport.

1. Richie Mathers 2. Kevin Penny 3. Michael Platt 4. Lee Smith 5. Keith Dixon 6. Paul Sykes 7. Danny Brough 8. Danny Sculthorpe 9. Wayne Godwin 10. Craig Huby 11. Ian Sibbit 12. Matt Cook 13. Paul Cooke 14. John Roby 15. Maurie Faasavalu 16. Danny Ward 17. Stuart Reardon I'm Welsh

That would be messing with the traditions of the game. Crowd figures should always be announced as being at least a thousand below the actual attendance. The chairman should always drive a flash car

My guess is Bulls by 10 in a high-scoring game. Wakefield are as weak as we are, but have a chance of reaching the playoffs. We have players playing their last home game at Odsal and will wish to sign off with a good performance.

The training pitches belong to Bradford Council, though the Bulls have now moved to Tong School. Bradford City shared the facility and were also due to move but, because they couldn't find anywhere equivalent have stayed there. The cynic in me thinks that Bradford Council has plans for the playing fields at Apperley Bridge, probably housing or a mosque.

They were coaching at Woodhouse Grove, a fee-paying independent school where the boys historically only play rugby union against other public schools. The school and the (former) Bulls training centre are on adjoining sections of land at Apperley Bridge.

What grades did you get?

Could do worse than get a partnership of Denis Betts and Barry Macdermott.

Just announced on Sky Sports. Goung to the Rhinos as Assistant Coach.

Solomona has done more off the bench for Warrington this season than he did in two seasons as a starter for the Bulls. And he was allegedly on

Duncan Preston has probably been to more games this season than Danny Sculthorpe.

No Peacock, no Burgess ... Lauititi will have to step up his game.

Only four members have voted for a Bradford win. Who are the other three poor deluded fools?

Let's face it, top eight would be a significant improvement.
