Bradford Bulls vs Leeds Rhinos in the Academy Scholarship tonight. Clear blue skies at Odsal.

I believe Dale Ferguson inherited one of the toughest challenges in Rugby League. New to coaching and having the smallest playing budget in the Championship. I think the tides of history will show the job of keeping Dewsbury in the Championship in 2024 to be challenging.

Great to see Sheffield genuinely being competitive and a threat to Wakefield. We’ll find out on Friday if they’re good enough to beat them though. Doncaster building momentum and Swinton up to fifth after wins over Toulouse and Halifax on the road. Widnes look like dark horses.

Eamon O’Carroll has questioned his side’s game management and smartness to see out games after watching Bradford throw away a seven point advantage.

Widnes scoring eight points in the final five minutes to win a thriller 14-13.

FT: Bradford 13-14 Widnes.

Great Championship game which swung everywhere in an enthralling final 20 minutes. Pleasing response from Bradford who showed their character and ability after the disappointment against York. Great mix of defensive determination from both sides.

🔉 We have another great Sunday afternoon of Rugby League action with the Bradford Bulls hosting Widnes Vikings at Odsal Stadium.

FT: Wakefield 28-12 Toulouse

Wakefield totally deserved this win despite being made to dig deep into the reserves to finally see off a determined Toulouse side. Sylvain Houles will once again be left frustrated with his side’s costly ill discipline. No secret it’s harming them.

A great servant to the Bradford club and sport. A model professional. Good luck on your return to playing Rugby League Tom. Hopefully, there will be a big crowd for this top-five clash.

Eamon O’Carroll says that it’s highly likely that Tom Holmes will feature for Bradford for the first time this season on Sunday.

“Tom’s in a position now where he's making himself available for selection. It's a massive boost.”

Bradford Bulls press conference with Eamon O’Carroll and a lot covered with fresh injury adversity and new arrivals.

The main message from Eamon to his players is to learn the lesson of sticking to what they practice in training out on the field on Sunday. Interview out later.

Eliot Peposhi has signed a two-year contract extension with the Bradford Bulls until the end of 2026.

Peposhi has spoken of his determination to play his part in an exciting era for the club under head coach Eamon O’Carroll.

Eamon O’Carroll has challenged his side to continue the hard work and effort that has seen Bradford win their last three games.

Eamon O’Carroll’s appointment at Bradford looks to be a very clever signing. Heard so many positive stories from within the playing group about him. It's clear his approaches have been fundamental to what they are about on and off the pitch. The players love and respect him.

Good to talk to Andrew Henderson earlier who is calm and positive that his depleted York Knights side can provide a tough challenge for the Bradford Bulls on Sunday. Liam Harris returns from suspension and it looks like York will use the loan market to strengthen for the weekend.
