I do belive it, as I dont think we're smart enough at the moment for any meaningful mind games. And I dont think Leeds would care if we had everybody fit or not.

Shhh, it's my way of consoling myself for the humiliation come Friday night

well maybe the whole season so far has been an elebroate ruse to lull Leeds into a false sence of security (its worked well, they feel very secure about tomorrow I'm sure!) and tomorrow we'll unleash our true game and blow them off the park..........




......or maybe not, I'll go lie down now.

As I said in another thread..

It's all part of the Bradford plan. We play poop up until the Leeds game, luring them into a false sense of security. We then go out, whoop their arses and go on an unbeaten run for the rest of the season,

This culminates in a grand final game between Leeds and Bradford. We're in the final minute and we're losing 24-20. Beaver breaks the line, passed the ball to Platt who makes progress down the pitch. Platt is tackled and almost fumbles the ball, but sneaks it out of the back door to Halley before the tackle is complete, who takes it towards the wing. He cuts inside, plays it inside to Platt who goes over and SCORRRRRRREEEEEESSSSS!

The Bradford fans are jubilant, but wait - Ganson has gone to the video referee. It looks like Platt has dropped it over the line. It's close, but the video shows enough downward pressure and control.

The Leeds fans are drained out and downbeat. The Leeds squad are out of it, and this defeat stays with them for another 32 years as they fail to win anything.

If that doesn't happen, then all faith in Macca is definitely gone - that last 1% anyway.

Do you actually believe it? It's part of the pre match mind games I reckon.

Mind games, or getting the excuses in early?

"Well it's a shame we lost 64-0, but a mystery bug swept through the squad so there wasn't much we could do".

That is a cynical point of view though.

Indeed, you only wrote 64-0 for starters.

What people think about Deacs being missing. IMO this is ideal opportunity to get the 'we look lost without captain' monkey off our backs.

Leeds won't know who to pressure on the 6th tackle, this must give us options!!!

Slight Flaw: How on earth does Platt release the ball in the tackle and still manage to get up and take a pass off Halley to score the winning try. Up until that point you had me going apart from also saying that Platt "almost" fumbles the ball.

We'd have to plunge new depths to look as lost without him as we did with him when we played this lot last Easter.

Lynch to captain Bulls As it says, Lynch to be captain. Good choice, hopefully he'll continue to lead by example. Doesn't say who is vice captain for when he's being rotated mind, Langley? Newton?
