I would hope that JK has made it quite clear to the lads that this might be a bit grubby at times. Swinton have been a bit Rowleyesque and the signing of Jamie Acton is bang on trend.
Acton not named in their 19 this week, but that doesn't always mean it's a guarantee they won't play.
That said, even without the likes of Acton and Barlow in the team, and without any obvious sh*thouses in the side, I've no doubt that they'll end up trying to turn it into that kind of game to level up the skill difference. I don't think anyone would look at the two sides on paper and not think there's more skill and flair in the Bradford side, so turning it into a scrappy game is absolutely the best tactic.
We've all seen Bulls teams in recent years fall victim to those gameplans, so hopefully they've prepared for it this time.

I notice that Bulls Website Gameday Guide have kick off down as 14.00 and Sinton have it down as 15.00. I assume the Swinton time is correct unless there is an international dateline between here and Manchester.
Unfortunately those sort of basic errors have been a mainstay of the club's website and social media ever since Chalmers took over and started using the cheaper options to run the media side of things (again, not saying he's wrong to do that, the club needed to cut costs). I have no hope of them stopping any time soon. Everywhere else seems to have it as 3pm.
