That says more about how bad Cats were than how good Leeds were.

And in answer to the thread's question, we undoubtedly can do it, we've got a team that can beat anyone n the league on it's day, but whether we will is a very different matter.

As I said in my post above, Leeds will be pretty battered from Saints so we're getting them at the right time and I reckon this just might be ours....



no you aint, you're a bottom half team with that squad

We are playing absolutely gash at the moment but you are in a massive minority of people that think the Bradford squad is anything other than top 8 on paper.

Lost a few quid on Bratford this season. I guess I was swayed by your previous achievments. The sad fact for you lot now is that everyone believs that they will beat you. I believe that my team is capable of beating the top two on any given day but i dont expect it to happen, whereas with Bradford not only do i believe we can beat you i think that we will beat you. You remind me of an old heavyweight contender that is now a journeyman giving the prospects a good test but ultimately losing.

Genuine question. Do Bradford fans really honestly believe that the team is still capable of beating anyone on it's day?

IMHO I feel Bradford are behind the likes of Cas, both Hulls and possibly even Harlequins these days.

The backs are not just average, they are poor.

Dont get me wrong though, I love watching a good Bradford team play Leeds. It is far more entertaining.

The fans HAVE to believe that they are good enough to beat ANY team that they face, otherwise what is the point?

That said, belief does not win games, I know I am a Halifax fan who went to EVERY game in our last season in Superleague and only saw one win (London Bronco's in our first game of the season) only to have those two points taken off of us.

Something needs to change, but I dont have the answers, just observations.
