Bradford head the charts going into round seven of Super League in metres made, and also boast the most off-loads.

"It will be a big physical battle and it will be a challenge for our forward pack," Sandercock told the Mail.
"Bradford have a very big forward pack and strong powerful backs too.
"They get over the advantage line very well and Jarrod Sammut has been on fire for them.
"Keith Lulia is a big boy out wide and they have Brett Kearney as well.
"They have got a good mix and we need to make sure we work together in defence.
"I see weaknesses in every single side in the competition and it's whether we are good enough to exploit them."
Sandercock has also warned his side to expect a response from Bradford after blowing a winning position against Widnes to draw 22-22.
"They will be gearing up for a big game in front of their own fans," he added.

“bennystol (aka mikehkr) you need a numeracy update - 158 divided by 6 does not equal the 30 you quote.”

“How can you say rovers have proved that they can defend when they have conceded an average of 30 points per match against mostly bottom of the table clubs ?”

“Looking forward to the match tomorrow, it's going to be a tough one to win but it's there for the taking.
The attitude of the squad has improved but I believe concentration is the key, we have proved that we can defend but still have our moments and some players still go missing at the wrong time. 100% effort required, anything less and we could blow it.
Come on you Reds!”
