Going into the 8's in a couple of weeks time , to me Fax are the form team and should be ,it will be very interesting next week when we play the Bulls to how just how far we have progressed under RM,we gave Bradford a fair game at Odsal ,for me only full time fitness told in the end and if the Bulls don't turn up on Sunday or the week after then they could go into the 8's with 2 losses which is not a good sign.For me Leigh are a little operated they obviously have some very good players ,but have McNally,Pownall,Higson, who are nowhere near SL standard again though it will be interesting to see how they fare on Sunday ,personally I think they will win the League then and deserve it.

Four defeats out of five matches including Fev and Sheffield. As Leigh play Doncaster and Rams we can assume the league is already won.
I'm hoping that the players target the Fax match for a last big effort before their week off..........They need to finish on a high. I don't know enough about Fax to be sure they could live with that but they showed up well in previous 2 games where they started better than Bulls.

There is official parking over the road at the sports centre, though if you get there early enough there is loads of on street parking - just watch for the cones.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Its a pity the real meaningfulness of this game has gone.

I would have been confident of a 5 figure gate otherwise. Never mind, should still be an excellent crowd watching 2 worthy teams of getting promoted IMHO.

I think they'll be around 7,000 at Odsal on Sunday, which is pretty impressive when Wakefield, Salford, Widnes and Huddersfield have all been attracting sub 5,000 gates recently.

So it should be 2 proper rugby towns with a long history and a good fan base each! Let's put away the pettiness this has become a good rivalry this year lets put a spectacle on too make some super league teams jealous!

Re: Bradford Bulls vs Leigh Centurions : Thu Jul 16, 2015 11:29 am  

I'll be attending Odsal expecting a Leigh win this Sunday, not because they are a much better side than Bradford, but because the injuries which the Bulls have experienced over the past couple of month's have affected the teams performances.

Similarly, if the Bulls had been relatively full strength for the last couple of months and Leigh were potentially missing McNally, Brierly and Ridyard, then I would expect a Bulls Win.

I think 2 full strength teams would to be a close contest, possibly making Leigh slight favourites due to the core of the team being much more familiar with each other. Other than that I don't think that there would be that much in it.

I'm waiting to here the team news but I wouldn't expect Gaskell, Siejka or Mullaney to be up to speed even if they do play.

You're right to say it'll be hard without the regular halves, but I'll live in hope!

And, they definitely should only play if fully fit - there are bigger games than this to come.

Re: Bradford Bulls vs Leigh Centurions : Thu Jul 16, 2015 1:02 pm  

Says on twitter that Gaskell and Mullaney definitely out. Addy will partner Either Purtell/Mendieka or possibly Siejka
