Smith raring for crunch game to start

Bradford Bulls coach Rohan Smith knows the implications of the match against Featherstone Rovers and cannot wait for kick-off.

The Bulls and Rovers do battle with a spot in the Middle 8s up for grabs.

“Sunday’s game is the type of game we play for and why this sport is so exciting,” Smith said.

“I’m buzzing, I can’t wait for it and it is what professional sport is all about and why you get involved for these occasions.

“If you’re a Bradford fan and you’re ever going to go to a game, Sunday is the one.”

Featherstone might have won their last three matches, most recently edging fellow top four candidates Halifax, but Ccach Joh Sharp admits his team will be the underdogs against the Bulls.

Sharp described Sunday’s match as similar to a Grand Final and thinks his team’s recent good run of form will be of massive benefit.
