Sheffield, York, Bradford, Toronto, Halifax, Barrow, Fev. Does anyone know whether the Widnes - Fev game's going to be played? My guess is that it won't be.

I’m sure someone else will be able to put a kick to the corner for Ethan Ryan to catch.

Don't need to catch, just have to push the ball over the try line......

They couldn't manage it last week against York. The kicking game was awful.

Must have been a strange wind in the first half at Odsal. Our kicks blew awry and theirs were spot on but must have been swerving in the air ... causing our blokes not to catch them.

Have you never heard of a pushover try?

No Chisholm either and Keyes still not ready, could be Wildie and Minchella in the halves......unless we have an odd junior (Kobi Green?) that Kear thinks is ready for the step up. I'm not sure who can kick goals either.

All thoughts will be with Peter Fox on Sunday.  It's going to be a little bit of an errie afternoon for many watching.

We're not playing well at all, and now no halves apparently.  So it's going to be a tough afternoon at Odsal.  However, moments like this provide opportunities for others.  And that helps the Bradford production line roll on.  Much prefer that than some god awful DR arrangement.

I wonder if JK will bring Pickersgill up and play young Stephenson at the back.  I'd like to think that he's at least thinking about that.

Really looking forward to Sunday over at York, not really into the prediction thingy I much prefer to comment on what has gone on before me, obviously I want my team to win but I am a very happy punter if I witness a good hard fought contest between the competing teams, Leigh have a 2 from 4 but in that playing TO, Halifax away, Fev and TWP they have done quite well considering the losses were only by one converted try each.

Quietly expecting a win but I will leave the predictions to those who know better.
