I think the position was made clear on a successful appeal for "not fielding the strongst side", I forget by who, the club (rightly) told the RFL that they pay ALL the squad to play rugby, and unless the RFL could point to anywhere in the Laws where they can overrule the team selection and say various players shouldn't be playing even though they get paid to play, they could go and do one. Before then, any club could easily enough produce a bunch of sick notes eliminating players from being picked; after that, I don't believe they bothered any longer.

You and anyone else from Bradford going up to Barrow tomorrow have my utmost respect. Taking a look at the squad and doing that big trip is a level of commitment I sadly lack. Hats off to you.

I was enthused about this cup until I realised there wasnt any prize money on offer.

Only really serves and purpose for match fitness and blooding youngsters.

Young lads doing themselves proud so far. Playing some excellent rugby too.

Good first 25 mins from the young Bulls outfit. Doyle is causing a lot of trouble around the ruck and Brown, Green and Pickersgill are linking up well.

No doubt Kear will fall out with anybody playing well.

Joe Brown goes off injured in his first game for the club.
