I'll say Bradford by 6, although Hull are so up and down this season, anything's possible.

[Thunder Road]

Hull are way too inconsistent. 

And without Asiata they won't do much.

Bradford by  8

[HKRBob]

FC are incredibly inconsistent, but can see them winning this by a couple of scores.

[Loiner]

Bulls by 6

[MZH]

Who knows. Our attack is terrible at the moment. If we have managed to find a couple of things that work during the 2 week break then we will be fine. If not, it will be a tight arm wrestle that could go either way.

[Agbrigg]

I suspect a close game and the micro pitch is a great leveller

[Old Frightful]

Probably an afternoon where everyone watching will have wished they’d done summat else when the final hooter goes…

[Thunder Road]

Bradford looks very refreshing in the Sunday sun..

Especially after watching the NRL's Magic Round in the rain.

Great kick-off from the Bulls!

They're challenging it

3 errors in the first 8 minutes from Sezer (including the challenge)

[Futtocks]

Bradford are getting in FC's faces and it is having an effect so far.

It is quite funny when you hear the referee say "you're all offside" and then the replay comes up showing a completely offside defensive line.

Thought she may be exaggerating when shouting it, but nope, was very literal.

I think the referee should have reversed that decision, no reason for him to act like a petulant child

[Thunder Road]

Looks a bad knee injury for Fash.

 

That number 13 position

I thought we'd done away with that stunt of throwing the ball at a player to gain a cheap penalty?

I'm fine with the pass being thrown, the defender can't block off half the field from the dummy half by being lazy and kneeling next to him, he didn't even try to make himself small to avoid being in the way.

I agree, but maybe the issue there was that the defender was SO close to the PTB, making little attempt to get out of the way, and blocking an obvious passing lane.

But yes, there was a clampdown on that sort of thing a few years ago.

I miss the days where you could hear the tone of a referees whistle and instantly know if they've blown a penalty or knock on

Wilkin forgetting he's on commentary, not one of his podcasts 

"I often think what fans would yell if they banned them shouting get them onside"

Not really the topic of conversation for right now Jon

[Chrispmartha]

Scrappy game so far

And now he's bringing up rugby union.

I do love those Bradford fans trying to boo after seeing the replay, they were expecting a sinbin offense and saw what was probably not even a penalty 

"Errr... Boooooo....."

No green card because it was put on report?
