@TomWrig92403295 @scallwagery Sends me something from Wikipedia 🤣

@TheGameCaller @scallwagery Just isn't true tho is it mick

Despite playing six seasons in the NRL and four in the Championship, Bradford Bulls star Caleb Aekins only made his Super League debut this season. Since featuring in the club’s opening game away to Hull FC, Aekins has been an ever-present in featuring for the Bradford club, making big contributions on and off the field. After making his 150th career appearance against the Warrington Wolves yesterday, Aekins expressed his appreciation for head coach Kurt Hagerty, saying that he loves the way he coaches and that the team's expansive playing style is really suited to him. Whilst Aekins feels he is adapting and genuinely growing into the full back role at the Bulls with a number of positive contributions so far in 2026. Caleb believes that himself and the squad can learn from the game inconsistencies against the Wolves (slow start to both halves, too many errors with ball in hand), lessons that he believes will see the Bulls learn in sustaining performances for the full 80 minutes.

@scallwagery Five years at Penrith before his move in 2021 to Canberra.

@TheGameCaller 6 seasons in the nrl ? Behave did he even get 6 games

@ste_rugbyleague @NathanBrowneee Correct.

@NathanBrowneee @TheGameCaller The reserve referee apologised.

Kurt Haggerty has confirmed that Chris Atkins was shown a green card, despite dislocating his finger early on in the first half during the 26-12 loss to Warrington. The Bulls boss says that the fourth official admitted after the game that the decision to reduce Bradford down to 11 players was wrong and has apologised to Kurt and the club. During this crucial period of play with down to 11 players, Warrington scored six points with Luke Thomas crossing for the Wolves.  Kurt Haggerty said that conceding two tries in the opening ten minutes led to his side chasing the game, with poor execution and decision-making playing a big part as the Bulls fell short.  Despite the defeat, Kurt praised the teams work ethic and energy; saying that there is “no gray areas” in how they work, with clear accountability for performance. Kurt said there is good news on the horizon ahead of the game against the York Knights, with five to six of his injured players expected to be back in a fortnight's time.

@Bestinclas87519 It doesn't help that you have Phil Bentham (the invisible man) who won’t front up and explain the decisions despite repeated requests. Very poor.

@TheGameCaller First it was the St Helens game which Bradford should’ve won (8 minute sin bin/double movement try for St Helens), officials apologised then for incompetence and now again? Apologies don’t help really. Sort it out!!!

In position and ready to roll for Warrington Wolves vs Bradford Bulls. Bradford arrive in Cheshire with 13 first-team players missing after Ethan Ryan (HIA), Loghan Lewis (Knee) and Andy Ackers (Knock) join the club's ever increasing injury list.

@kiwikeenan12 @Johnymccusker George ‘The Showboat’ Flanagan.

@TheGameCaller @Johnymccusker Mick, my overriding memory from the L1 days is; George Flanagan showboating over the line at Doncaster and getting tackled: NO 4 POINTER AWARDED. Cheers.

Interesting observation while on the train to Warrington this afternoon. When stopping at Halifax and Hebden Bridge on the way into Manchester Victoria I counted 20 people boarding the train in Bradford Bulls replica shirts and polo tops. Having traveled religiously to every game by train for years, I haven't seen anything like this in the past decade during the club’s time in the Championship and League One.

@Johnymccusker @kiwikeenan12 The Brighouse Bull was definitely on the road trips to those Rugby League outposts West Wales and Hemel Stags.

@TheGameCaller What about the Brighouse bull @kiwikeenan12

Castleford Tigers beat St Helens 30-10 with one of the Super League shock results of the season. Against the table-toppers. Nobody, nobody saw that coming. If you say you did, I don’t believe you. Castleford thoroughly deserved that victory, but what was the St Helens game plan? They conceded 12 penalties (with Welsby and Hastings sent to the sin bin) and made 16 errors, the highest of the season.

📻 COMING UP at 3pm UK, it's @TheGameCaller in the chair: @CTRLFC 🆚 @Saints1890 rugbyleague.com

Waqa Blake says the Bradford Bulls are targeting their first away win of the season against the Warrington Wolves on Sunday.  Bradford’s Fijian Flyer says the team goes everywhere with belief; stating that while critics continue to doubt them, they will keep showing up each week, proving them wrong.

The Bradford Bulls have announced the signing of Oldham RLFC half-back Riley Dean on an initial deal until the end of the 2026 season.   The 24-year-old came through the ranks at Warrington Wolves, making his Super League debut as a 19-year-old in 2019 and could face his former club on Sunday. Smart business from Kurt Haggerty, who are currently short in that position with long term injuries to Joe Keyes and Rowan Milnes, so he adds value in there and he’s certainly an exciting, young prospect.  With Kurt adding that he wants Dean to come in, work hard, have fun, enjoy the environment and show to the Super League that he’s a Super League player.

All in. #RunWithTheBulls

With a decision on the Bradford Bulls' participation in Las Vegas 2027 imminent, the club are confident that their proposal will be approved by the RFL and NRL in the coming days. I spoke to Bradford Bulls Co-Owner and Commercial Director Paul Wild, who says that the opportunity to head across the Atlantic to Las Vegas will raise the club’s profile whilst enhancing their global brand recognition. Paul also praises the unique ownership structure at the Bulls; emphasising the natural Bradfordian passion the co-owners have for the club. With average attendances in 2026 exceeding expectations with 205% growth on last season, being driven by strategic pre-match entertainment and marketing plans targeting the next generation of Bradford Bulls supporters.

@Bubba_Ferret Yeah, listen to the interview both covered by Kurt.

@TheGameCaller Any updates on the other injured players? In particular Mellor and Sutton.

Kurt Haggerty was left with a mixture of emotions after watching his Bradford Bulls team return to winning ways against Hull FC this afternoon. He described the performance as a roller coaster with Kurt saying that the lack of cohesion in attack was a big factor in keeping the scoreboard close. Kurt confirms that Ethan Ryan failed his HIA after scoring his ninth try of the season and will now miss the trip to Warrington next week. He also says that Jayden Nikorima has picked up a calf injury that will be assessed during the week but it is thought not to be serious at this stage. 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 👉 audioboom.com/posts/8904605-…

@KeithHurell @WestYorksRL It’s not thought to be serious but will be assessed before the trip to face Warrington.

@TheGameCaller @WestYorksRL Not good news if we are losing Nikorima again to another injury
