As before anything could happen in this one and both sides will be well and truly up for it with a big crowd expected to make it one not to miss.


Dealing with Bradford?ssize is the obvious challenge but we?ve done it before and we have the mobility to move them around, sap the juice and speed in attack to get some points on the board going for us.


Main concerns are the in house mistakes under the high ball which have already been mentioned and I expect us to be bombed to death and we can?afford to be gifting field position against any side especially the bigger ones.


If we can get the result I might finally start believing we are getting there after so many previous disappointments.


PS: Saints reserves vs Wakefield highlights are on the Tube withe Charlie Graham scoring a decent try and having and hand (no pun intended)  in a couple of others. 


We could certainly do with his pace but not sure coming straight back in against Bradford is the right thing to do but Eastmond will be in the best position to make the calls.


Crooks should replace Restall and Brad Graham has done enough to keep the other centre spot and likewise for Tibbs on one flank, that leaves Salty who?s been blowing hot and cold in equal measures and a distinct lack of pace to boot.

Have to miss this one, summer rugby and holidays.  I hope that we can win. If the pack keeps up the vein of form I think we might just nudge this one by ten.


If we should lose then hopefully the performance will give us a boost for the weeks to come.

To add even more spice to the fixture 'watchyerpockets' is back on loan for the Bulls.

Just seen our squad and Hansen and Dixon are both unavailable no idea why and Hird is injured we have brought in Tom Whitehead a second rower on a months loan from Wire but those missing will hurt us. Who will partner Woodburn-hall maybe Inman or could Restall go to fullback with Jouffret into the halfs not ideal either way and this happens just when Whitby forces his way into the Saints side bugger.

Should say why they aren't available...if it's having to work that is really tinpot..
