In this world of p/t players do they only get paid if they play? Another dilemma for John, if the case, keeping them happy by resting them and not paying them?

Everyone i've ever known thats played part time always had a base contract, some very low amounts some not bad amounts. Then its topped up with win bonuses. A mate of mine played for sheffield when they won the play off final against swinton in league 1 to come back to championship level. They won about 13 games on the bounce he earned a decent wedge on top of his full time job

Chisholm will play against Coventry, but not now against Warrington: https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/bradford-ace-dane-chisholm-receives-ban/ Which is a bit of a bugger. All his own fault of course, but nevertheless....

I really don't think we have a prayer against Warrington so Chissy can have a week off without really affecting the Warrington game.

19 man squad announced. From it, bearing in mind Hitchcox hasn't had long enough to work into the squad just yet, I wouldn't put him at fullback. I'd go with:

Brandon Pickersgill
Dalton Grant
Ashley Gibson
Ethan Ryan
Jy Hitchcox
Joe Keyes
Dane Chisholm
Callum Bustin
Sam Hallas
Steve Crossley
Matt Garside
Elliott Minchella
George Milton
SUBS
Liam Kirk
Liam Johnson
George Flanagan
James Laithwaite

Leaving out Josh Rickett and Vila Halafihi

Would of liked to of seen Crossley rested tbh

Re: Coventry (H) : Sun Apr 15, 2018 8:04 pm  

Thoughts on today's game?
Personally thought we weren't great and need to be much better against Doncaster in 2 weeks. We don't look great near the opposition line and too many one man carries. We might as well not have wingers as we just don't use them. Gibson didn't pass once to his winger. Improvements needed. Keyes my MOM.

Re: Coventry (H) : Sun Apr 15, 2018 9:50 pm  

We didn’t seem to have much idea other than up in the air on the last tackle, there seems very little urgency, no disrespect to Coventry, but the team that Bradford have should be putting 80 on them, it was mostly drive for five in virtually every set, we finish with our forwards knackered, and our backs bored disalusioned and cold, you know exactly what sort of game you are going to get with 4 forwards on the bench week in week out

Far from rested, he played about 60 minutes. He's been outstanding for us this year.

Re: Coventry (H) : Mon Apr 16, 2018 6:24 am  

The defense for Coventry's try was woeful. No one seemed to want to actually claim the ball and the resulting bounce gave Coventry the spark of hope which meant they were able to rally a bit stronger in defense than if that zero had remained on the scoreboard
