From a fax perspective it's a 50/50 game , bradford have recruited well and you would have expected a flying start from them , biggest difference for fax is a new pack from lasts year game with dixon , Douglas and calcott all playing plus tangata who is now in the second row with mccarron,  hanson so far has had more freedom with our pack not been dominated and woody at 6 as meant more solid.  If I was bradford I would be targeting jouffret salty and tibbs under the high bombs who have been shaky in them scenarios. 

Yes Scurr in for Hallas and Michael can cover loose forward to give Donno a break.  Gives us three big impact players off the bench.

Agreed. Masons doing well, Michael's been one of our best forwards and Scurr's just Scurr. Hallas 18th man. 

Feel there's a lot more pressure on us than fax. Fax lose they're still at least a point clear of everyone else in 1st. We lose and suddenly are aimlessly wandering in mid-table having just lost to our rivals. How we've spent the week off will be critical. 

Doro signed on loan for 2 weeks.Great news

Was surprised at that but it certainly gives the pack a lift.  Is anyone carrying a knock?   That would explain why he's in.  Assuming all are fit then I'd start Lawrence and Scurr up front and have Doro at loose forward with Pele, Michael and Donaldson off the bench.


That gives us plenty of go forward to begin with and when Lawrence goes off we have Donaldson coming on the field to provide the leadership.  Pele and Michael coming on to play prop will keep the go forward in the middle part of the game.
