No - why?

To be honest it almost seems like we've settled for second now anyway, even before the defeat at Sheffield. We just didn't look bothered yesterday.



I'm hoping we'll rest our key players for the Leigh game because there really is no point playing them. But knowing Jimmy Lowes he'll probably play them and risk them picking up injuries

I agree, I hope we rest Riddy/Brierley and go with Reynolds and Foster. Pala/Higson in centres, Pownall FB

Acton, Spencer, Emmitt, Wilkes/Hopkins front rows, Beswick at 9, Goulden, Haggerty and Sarsfield in the back row with Kay/Lee on the wings, Tracey and dixon to make the 17 up on the bench.

I don't think it will make much difference to confidence ........ Losing to Fev, Eagles and ,probably, Fax would be much more telling had it been important to beat them. I don't think many fans or players recognise the kudos in finishing top of the Championship.........We need a few more years down here to spot that and that might have to involve the development of rivalries and all that entails. However I do think it will be hard for fans to see the Bulls smashed again. It's a shame really that the game is largely meaningless as an unpopular team selection could see the crowd reduced from what it could have been. I make no claim to understanding what plan our management/coaching team are working to but it's clear that our performances for a long time have been little more than effective in reaching the objective of a place in the top 2. This seems very different to how Leigh have approached things.

To be honest the choice wasn't yours.

You sure about that.

It might've been if we'd beaten Fev and Sheffield like we should've. Prior to the Fev game we'd lost the same amount of games as you and the Leigh game was set to be the decider for top, but we've been poor in the last few weeks.



Next week's game is unimportant now. If we play a weakened team and you stuff us then it won't matter. We both start on 0 points again in a few weeks.

Bradford might be starting on zero confidence at this rate.

What a load of rubbish. Where's this magic wand that we're going to wave that stops us being the rabble from the last two months, to a team capable of beating Leigh, Salford, Wakaey etc You can't just turn form on and off like a tap. Confidence is huge in sport. That's why when you see a striker in football, who's full of confidence, one on one with the keeper, he'll stick it into the bottom corner, Same player, same scenario but is low on confidence, he'll hit it straight at the keeper or over the bar. Technique has very little to do with it.



Leigh believe they can beat anybody right now. Their players, fans staff, the whole club is bouncing. While our players, fans are reeling from being absolutely dominated against part time opposition twice in two weeks.



You say it doesn't matter if we lose the next two games and won't effect our confidence. Funny that has the Bulls quite rightly got booed off at HT yesterday. Losing the next two games isn't going to give them a boost or help get the fans behind them. The Bulls fans have been brilliant all season. Travelled in huge numbers all year, and got right behind the team. They've been average (at best) for two months now and the fans have always got right behind them. Yesterday they had enough and if they produce the same for the next two weeks, god help them.



How on earth you can say there is no difference finishing top to second. Just sounds like sour grapes. I would much rather play Wakey and Leigh at Odsal than having to go to BV and LSV.

I’m more sure than you lot are that you aimed for second.



You can preach to all and sundry that it doesn't matter and you played for second but as a professional sports club you never aim to be second. Especially when you have no idea as to whether second would give you an advantage with the better home fixtures.



Are you telling me you’d prefer to play us at LSV rather than Odsal? Come on don’t live up to your user name.

Exactly well said.

We can't play everyone at home. There are 4 Super League teams involved. I am much more concerned about where we play them. I'm just happy to be in the top two. As of now I'm not sure of the exact order of finishing for the SL teams. Should we have played Leigh at Odsal that would have had a consequence elsewhere...........that consequence may have been too high a price to play.
