Third bottom and survival? Snap your hand off to be fair. They kids would deserve a civic reception too the amount of effort they put in.

I'd take in a breath. It's better than I imagined at the start anyway.

I'd definitely take that. Survival is the solitary aim for this season but I would also like to hear some plans for the future. I.e. what the aims are for the next 2-3 seasons, recruiting strategy etc. Even if it was an underwhelming plan of surviving and consolidating our place in the Championship over the next 3 years and focusing on nurturing the young lads and not spending massively on new players etc with no mention of SL intentions; at least we as fans would know what is going on.

To be honest, I guess all of us would like to know what the plans are, certainly up to the end of this season. Trouble is that beyond that, any future plans are totally dependent on where we finish this time around. Even with a large war chest (as if...) it would still be difficult to recruit for next year as players would want know what level we're playing at, whether we'll be full time or not, etc etc and none of that can be certain until this season is sorted out.

Leigh Beattie hinted that Matthew Storton could make his first team debut aged 18 on Saturday.

That will be ten academy players that have made their first team debut this year. In what is officially the youngest ever Bradford Bulls/Northern squad of the last 87 years.

I've done a bit of an atmospheric piece with John Bastian and Lance Du'Lac, focusing on the young players achievements to play out on Saturday's show. Hope you enjoy it.

All very true!
