So with all the chat about the next coach, we've still got a tough game this weekend. Think this will be pivotal for our season. Lose this and I can't see where our next win is coming from. Our season will completely unravel. Could be similar to the season we finished with Lee St Hilaire in charge.

Let's see if we get a response.

Got to be:

Hall
Dawson-Jones
Kear
Gill
Foggin-Johnston
Patton
Lilley
Baldwinson
Doyle
Crossley
Walters
Wallace
B. Evans

Hallas
Scurr
Walker
England

Hallas on the bench for me to spell Doyle as I think he does need a rest. I understand this weakens the 13 position to start with but we have Evans/Baldwinson who can do a job there. Essentially running with 3 props to take it out of them. Then bringing Scurr and Walker on to punch holes and keep us on the front foot.

Wallace deserves a start. And Walters for me keeps his place too. England on the bench to rotate with the second row.

Crossley deserves to be sat out based on recent performances. Not that I think he will or that we have the bodies to do it

Agreed but I can’t see them dropping the captain.

Indeed not. Crossley starts in what looks to be an unchanged line up

Great first half performance from the Bulls.

Whitehaven 6 Bradford 28

Any indication if we've deviated from the old up the jumper gameplan?

Sounds like defence is still shocking.

BULLS 34-22 WHITEHAVEN

Sound to be a 2nd half issue? Fitness?

Not sure mate. Listening too it. But come on, we can’t be that unfit for Whitehaven to stage a comeback. Must be an attitude thing.

Agree about attitude. 34-6 up, we should be looking to rack up a score for our points difference. Everyone else would have gone passed the 50 mark. To lose the second half and still have negative points difference is just so frustrating.

Nothing against Dunning but we need someone fresh to come in and get a hold of this lot.
