I would have still played Davies over Hallas anyway. Think Hallas has been OK, still poor discipline and gets involved in needless confrontations. Watched the highlights of Fev/Widnes and looked to be a bit of needle in that one. Think it will be a spicy game this week too.

Hoepfully the week off will do Davies good as thought he looked fatigued last few weeks. He's done some big minutes.

Sheffield have lost at home to Batley meaning if we can win on Sunday we go up to 3rd place.

You just know what's going to happen don't you...

Yep, it would be typical of Bradford to blow it. We've certainly become accustomed to it in big games.

Well another unexpected result. There's so many in the Championship this year, they're not even that unexpected. I'm sure most Bulls supporters have that nagging anxiety that'll we'll fall apart just when we're on the cusp of something..... But fingers crossed this weekend is different.

York just made tomorrow's match even more interesting getting the win over in France. Gives us the chance to close the gap with Toulouse to 1 point! What could possibly go wrong.

Here we go….

Massive game for both clubs as the table stands. I said a few weeks ago that 2nd is probably out of the question and realistically I suspect it still is. To have any chance we probably need to go unbeaten and there are plenty of banana skin ties still to come.

7 games remaining in the league, with a possible 9 or 10 games overall to improve on last year we are going to need to find some consistency. Time to step up our intensity.

Wonder if Toulouse's skinny squad is starting to catch up with them now. They get a decent advantage not participating in the cups (they've played around 2 months worth less of games than the Eagles) but I said when we reached the half way point we'll see what happens as they'll be a game every week for them. They'ere still naming near full strength line-ups, so if they pick up a few injuries as we approach the business end of the year, it's all to play for.
Feel if we slip up today it will feel like a pin in a balloon in terms of our season.

For me, with results going the way they have, this is our most important game of the season to date. Time to step up and see if we are up to it. Fingers crossed.
