Super League - Bradford Bulls v Wigan Warriors
The Bradford Bulls play their third home match today of their season and will be looking to make it 2 from 3 with a win today, The Bulls scrapped past the Reds last weekend 0-7 away and easily accounted for the Tigers 41-22 in what was their opening home match 2 weeks ago, In their other two games they started their season against the Giants losing 24-12 and then backed that up with a awful effort against Saints at home losing 6-38, The Bulls will come into this game feeling like they can compete after winning their last 2 matches but the sides they have beaten in the Reds and Tigers are well short of the challenge that confronts them today and they will need to summon every once out of themselves that they can to be competitive against a Warriors side who are on top of their game and playing very well all over the park, The Bulls look likely to lose Sheriffe to injury but have Crookes awaiting in the wings to replace him should be not play, It will be the first change to the Bulls side in Season 2010.
The Warriors used to be the best but time has been hard on them, however there is some real starch about them this season , they are yet to taste defeat this season and their play has been outstanding, They opened their season with a win over the Crusaders 38-6, backed that up against the Robins 32-6 and then in what was a great game in fact without doubt the match of the season so far when they got by the Wolves 20-22 away and last week thrashed the life out of Catalans 58-0, This weekend they bring back in Paleaaesina who was rested last weekend and Harrison also comes back into this Warriors side, everything is clicking for the Warriors so far in season 2010 with all of their players looking to make a difference and the results are showing that, In 4 matches they have scored 150 points while allowing a paltry 32, 20 of those points being conceded in their last away match, They appear to be the side to beat this season with the Wolves.

Wigan are playing very well and they just appear to be the team to beat as I have already said, the Bulls on the other hand really need to step up here to challenge this Warriors outfit and will enter this match feeling good with 2 wins on the trot, How much that will help them I don’t know against this Warriors side but I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here and go close in this match, But I can’t see the Warriors losing this match unless they play really badly, The Warriors have won 2 of their last 4 at Bradford with both sides being decided by 12 or less and that’s what I’ll take a small shot on in this match…Good Luck.
