Pleased to see that the Bulls are using this match to pay tribute to Rycroft Foster. Many of you will have seen his story across social media and I think it's touched a lot of people. Fans of all clubs are encouraged to wear Purple, Green and Amber amongst other tributes. Quite sad I won't make it actually, should be a good tribute.

Bradford 40-8 Barrow

[TrueBull]

Probably Bradford 46-16.  It’s a home game (+) but it’s on tv (-). Barrow are travelling on a Monday which isn’t ideal. Tom Holmes is in the squad and he’s been the outstanding player for Bradford this season. The pack is back to strength, actually has a basically full squad to choose from. Bradford have a chance to reverse the result from earlier this season.

[Phil]

Is viaplay going to cut out all match? 

[Phil]

No way was that forward

[RSN]

Baffling call that. 

[The Blues Ox]

Someone talk us through that forward pass then. 

[Fevrover]

No video ref that's why i don't agree with it.

That’s because it is, if it was a private dwelling it would be condemned

Looks worse than usual though for some reason

Red Card for biting, Tafua off

There's plenty of talent in this Bradford team, but my gosh if they were a racehorse they would have a Timeform "squiggle", they have so many flakey/temperamental players. Barrow have been excellent though.

I've been to better dumps then this.

[RSN]

Im concious Barrow havent got enough points this half, our record against 12 men is also very poor the last few years.

Glad it wasn’t just me that heard it!!

 

Barrows tackling has been outstanding 

[RSN]

The bite looked terrible half time replay, will get at least 6-8 games. I wonder if he will use the 'he put his arm in my mouth' defence

 

[Segovia Carpet]

Barrow +24 at start with b365

Now Bulls +2

 

[Harry Stottle]

I was going to compare this game to an NCL game, but that but that would not be fair to the NCL which is of a better quality.

[The Blues Ox]

Near perfect from Barrow but abysmal by Bradford. Luckily for Bradford losing a player to a red does not make an iota of difference on that pitch so if they manage to sort themselve out they should still be able to win this.
