3 Bulls still playing from that side 12 years ago and they'd all walk into the current team.

To be fair I think Steve Menzies would still walk into our team... and he's nearly 50!!!

Sadly I think Worrincy would... and he's still garbage.....

Monday night it is, live on premier Sports.

Premier Sports will continue their coverage of the Betfred Challenge Cup with the Fifth Round clash between Championship heavyweights Bradford Bulls and Leigh Centurions on Monday, March 14 at Odsal Stadium.
The game will kick off at 745pm, in the regular Monday Night Rugby League slot which has become so popular on Premier Sports this season. Ticket details for this tie will be available in due course.

A poor decision for me. Unlikely to have many travelling over from Leigh to watch them tonk us again on premier sports but in a much worse looking venue.

Poor decision by who?

Premiers sports pick the game they want to broadcast. They are a tv company that relies on viewing figures. Of course they are going to want to televise a game between the 2 best supported sides in this round of the competition. Its the perfect for tie for them as a broadcaster.

Not that Leigh need any help but Monday night very much favours the side with the full time squad IMHO.

Yup don’t get me wrong i understand why it was chosen. I purposely didn’t place blame on the club as I know it’s out of their hands.

I just think it is a poor decision based on the points I said plus as Mr beast says it doesn’t help that out part time players will be at work Monday and Tuesday.

I know SL clubs get cash from sky per game televised. Anyone know if this is the same?
