A very good Ref hopefully he will keep the eager Bradford boys in check and allow a good fast game of Rugby which is what we Leythers love.

This game has been one I've been looking forward to all year. After the debacle of the last couple of weeks, I'm just not as up for it. And I'm really peed off with the team and Jimmy for this happening. I think Leigh could really put a score on us on Sunday (I hope I'm wrong but we'll need a good perormamce for the first time in months) Jimmy will play Gaskell. Whether he's fit or not. He's under pressure and a heavy defeat against Leigh could really see things unravel.

We need to bounce back well after the recent debacles on Sunday as it really is the tipping point of the season now.

Looking forward to the game on Sunday. I really do hope it's a good game and some good rugby from both teams.

The most disappointing thing about the Sheffield result is that this game should have been a bit of a money-spinner for the club.

I don't doubt the gate will be good even though league position isn't at stake, but it's a shame the lads gave Mr Green a kick in the knackers as a thank you for running the club.

I too have been looking forward to this match up all season. I bought 2 tickets bringing an disillusioned supporter back. I have apologised for bothering. I really cant see us being close this week after the past performances and being beaten last week. Unless someone has stepped in and got the shower over there interested. Still we are in the 8s and its never over till the Fat Lady Sings I suppose ....

I think it will be a close game and wouldn't like to call it,for me teams are operating Leigh and holding back from them ,Fax gave them 2 close games this season even though we was not playing well,it's a pity the League positions are not far off already being decided.

Why are so many afraid of playing our strongest side?

Leigh have already wrapped up the league leaders shield for the year, will they be playing a weak side and hold their best players back.

I doubt it very much.

Play our best side, fear nothing, sure they'll target our better players, but don't all sides do that.

We should be doing the same and looking to smash Brierley, Hock etc early on just as much as they will be looking to get at our guys.

The problem for Bradford is Gaskell is returning from a delicate injury,but Brierley and Hock are fit and battle hardened,and who on the Bulls team could smash Hock?
