Plenty of very confident Fax fans on Panthers social media on the back of the very good start they have made. It's their biggest game of the season and they will be up for it without a doubt.


Bradford need to turn up ready to put in a complete performance and show their intent for the season ahead. 


We have the quality on paper but are going to turn up as a team? If the early season Bulls show up, we should be good enough to grind out a good result.

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.
