Bradford (CC) : Tue May 28, 2019 4:19 pm  

Sunday sees us play one of our biggest games for years with a Challenge Cup semi-final spot at stake. Indeed if you listen to the bulls fans this is our cup final, Lol! Here's hoping we have some of our players back after the disapointment of Batley. Tangata should go better with a game under his belt and Grix too. I think it's a must to have QLT back, he certainly adds that something special to our attack and also hope BK is fit again. A repeat of the last two games against the bulls with a 50/50 in reffing calls and I would think we might just be o.k. Let's hope for a massive following, make the noise, paint the tip blue & white and see where that takes us. Up The Fax!

Dont know where you have seen that the Bulls fans think this is your cup final, we have scored 4 points in 2 hours of rugby without looking anywhere near scoring. I cant see us turning it around in a week.

I do not believe the bull s... coming from Odslum, one thing John Kear knows is how to prepare a team for the cup.

UP the Fax, Play to our strengths not theirs.

Realistically comparing the 2 teams it is a game we should be winning but on the whole we have just been so poor this season and as has been mentioned John Kear is the one game specialist. Our forwards can not afford to be as poor as they were against Batley as Bradford have a better pack than them but away from that if we can stick with them early doors in what should be a very hot day, then their big forwards will get tired and their one out rugby will be ineffective.

Bradford's biggest threat comes once they get into the oppositions 20 so no silly penalties piggy backing them down the field and we have a chance as when I have seen them they don't often go the full length.

Was it the Challenge Cup game at the Shay in 2011?

In view of the fact you are so far from the players at odsulum decided to watch on bbc .went to the pre season friendly but too far from the action to enjoy .shame realy must be my failing eyesight! Just hope for a good contest and the team do themselves proud and put one over the bulls . Kear v grix is the key for me tomorrow .

Fax are just too slow.

There are some young lads with pace outside this 17 which should have been considered today.

Poor selection for a big pitch and big match.
