Even stevens for mine. Our squad depth will help us out over the Easter period for sure. I'm going Bulls by 4.

Oh, and I hope we get Fax in the next round of the cup. Big crowd, pay day for two local sides

God I hope not. We'll end up playing them 3ntimes in the space of 5 weeks. It will be a difficult sell.

Hard to predict which way this will go. Fax have put in one good performance this season and that was last Thursday when we had 7 or 8 regular first team players missing so it will be interesting to see how many of those that are available come straight back in to the team. Expectations were really high before the season started and ironically it were the Bradford game that showed we were quite a way off the pace that we probably should have been at and it has not got much better since then. I would take any win but it really would not be a surprise if we lost this one if we go back to tried and trusted.

GFB. Fax have actually put in two good 80 minute performances this season to date. The London game as you state, plus the Dewsbury match which resulted in a 26v0 win. Interestingly, in neither of those matches did we use a loan/dr player.

It's spring, that time of year when there is a distinct aroma of bullish!t in the air. Bulls fans descending on The Shay from their homes all over...well Halifax. Boring us with tales of past greatness when the map of the world was pink and The British ruled India. Pretending they're still in SL and not in 'our' league. Let battle commence. Can Fax build on last week's cup win against London, or will the bullies still be on a high after their comeback against Fev? It's about time we got some consistency and fingers crossed, with home advantage I'll go with Fax by 14 points. Up The Fax!

Ha. Love it.

Scott Murrell not named in Halifax's 19. That's got to be a boost for the Bulls.

Not sure, there are some fax fans who think they play better without him.

Yeah have a look at the Fax board, many think Murrell is a spent force.
