I’ll go for Bulls by 10. Think you may struggle with lack of experienced halves. But it gives a chance for your younger ones to get a game. Hopefully it will be a good game!

We don't know the teams, or even the rules we'll be playing to, so impossible to predict. From a Fax point of view we need the lads to have a good run out and stay fit. After that, build up to the Widnes game and hopefully get the season off to a good start.

Bit of a dilemma for me this one I have no enthusiasm to go to Odsal in Jan however I do keep a Total of consecutive League & Cup Games attended.
As HS says we don't know the Rules esp Interchanges do points scored count towards Players Records etc.
My view is they are glorified Friendlies so i probably wont bother

I know how you feel Bentleyman but I prefer these 'friendlies' as the teams have a something to play for and just a run out. I hope our game, indeed all of them' are well attended

Definitely a friendly BM so your attendance sequences are intact. We won't be be at Odslum, preferring to save the brass for the Widnes match.

Been Bradford's second game I think they will put a decent team out where as for us it will be a good opportunity to give our fringe players some game time. It will be interesting to see who takes the second half back place along with White with the other obvious candidates all out injured. Im going for a Bradford win and them thinking they have set down a marker.

We will probably field our international players in this fixture as they missed out on Boxing Day. Kear did say this week would be a different team to the York game. Should be a good game.

Should be a decent turn out and game apart from freezing our buttocks off.

Regarding the rules, I don't agree with the reduced interchanges.

Player welfare should be paramount and having fewer options from the bench may only lead to more chance of picking up injuries and having to play longer minutes with them.
