Match Thread: Championship Round 20, Bradford Bulls v Featherstone Rovers, Sunday 18th August 2024

Again didn't see what Bussey did to deserve that good old RFL cirus. The whole game is getting like American an wrestling.

Gadwin Springer, who was sin-binned twice for a high tackle and a late hit, has not been charged.    surely the RFL match review panel have made a mistake Widnes coach Allan Coleman, was adamant it was a straight red

Review panel is not fit for purpose

    Sundays game at least Jack will be able to play.I like the back 3 of Day Bussey and Becket and Locky has added to the forwards.Of the three games including Toulouse at home i thought Bradford on their small pitch would offer the best chance of a win.So after a fantastic defensive performance at Widnes there is no reason why we can't come close to that at Odsal.After Toulouse getting beat at Donny we should fancy our chances more and i think we may have a 30% chance of winning.If Aekins is out i think Eden has played ok at full back and Minikin and Hardcastle are a much stronger partnership in defence.7 games to go and if we win 5 we may squeeze into the top 6.

I wonder if this was the incident put on report near the end. Fleming was called over and Gadwin didn't look happy. I wonder if something was said?

fevnut has now published ‘Bradford Bulls v Fev: 21 man squads’.

We find it quite difficult to see the potential shape of the teams in the form in which the clubs publish the squads, so we choose to use guesswork based on last week’s teams to set them out in the traditional manner running from fullback to loose forward and then subs.

We also include a chart showing the leading scorers for both teams.

               Aekins Wynne Minikin Hardcastle Gale Reynolds Addy Springer Jones Nakubuawi Day Bussey Beckett. subs Locky W.Albert,Kibula,and Eden sub for the backs.Arnold dosn't deserve to miss out but i think due to the small pitch we will go with big forwards.

[sentoffagain2]

        York win 20-12 in Toulouse so move into 6th place.With Donny playing away at Whitehaven they should win and also go above us pushing Fev down to 8th.So if we can win at Odsal we will keep our 6th spot.And on the positive side we must have a better chance of beating Toulouse next week.

According to our biggest fan in Bradford

Bradford have every right to feel aggrieved after being edged out of a game that they led 21-20 with three minutes remianing. Referee Cameron Worsley penalised Jayden Okunbor and Jayden Myers for a ball steal when the ball had clearly been knocked on and lost by Wellington Albert. It’s unfortunate that the match officials have had a large influence on deciding a great game in controversial circumstances.
