Well i have just dried out after getting home from the game it was the flipping walk back to the car when i and many others got drenched. As for the game both sides should of benefitted from the work out in very tough conditions. The biggest difference between the sides for me was Bradfords last tackle plays was better than ours. Lilly does get some stick from opposition fans but for me his short kicking and decision making was better than both our starting halfs. And Bradford picked up a few scores off them plays while we ran the ball on the last going down the blind side and just got turned over with no reward not very smart in those conditions. We have a month now until our next run out and for me we still lack punch up front and strike from our centres and that still is a long standing problem. The plus side i thought was Eden looked sharp both physically and mentally if he can stay fit and when we play in drier conditions he could be a very good signing. Also a couple of the trialist went well i do not now there names but one came on for Gee and went well and a other for Eden who looked pretty sharp.

I think Moore was poorly last minute, yes the spell when we were encamped on their line with multiple sets unfortunately coincided with inman , obrien and Keyes off the pitch meaning we looked devoid of any real attacking threat, I really have to get used to these games having no real value in terms of winning and losing but it’s in my nature I guess especially when playing Bradford . I know there’s been a bit of 50/50 with the widdop signing but whilst jouffret is a great running stand off his kicking game is average and he becomes more effective on the drier pitches , having someone like widdop if fit in some capacity on the field makes sense to me as he offers something a bit different. I would have liked to have seen more of Sam Campbell who looked like a big lump but with the conditions and multiple interchanges I last track of who was who . A separate note I quite liked the kit in the flesh .

Pissin Missen! Lol!

I know that it gets on some peoples nerves but like you i want us to win every game friendly or not. And i am of a similar thought on Widdop he just might bring a better end to our sets and better game management especially in heavy conditions. Just to clear up what i meant by lack of punch, we had no problems making metres getting up the field Salty and Mccomb plus some of the pack did that part well but once we was on there goal line for what seemed like most of the second half trying time and again to crash over we just didn't have the beef to reward that good build up play with points. And like you say with the weather and number of changes we wasn't going to be throwing the ball about and skimming them on the outside. I liked the 94 season kit so this season's looks alright to me. Just noticed Oldham gave Keighley a good beating the other day i think we could have our hands full when we go there.

Well the full game is available to watch on bulls tv , just might have to watch it on mute as mick gledhill is commenting like they’ve just won the grand final .

Just watched the game on Bulls tv. Whilst in the main Fax did ok and the weather brought the game to a who can hold the ball contest, Fax gave away silly position numerous times, laying on, mainly, although Bradford seemed to lay on as much but did not get pinged, Keyes kicking was obvious and if the winger had more about him could have caused more trouble running the ball back. My final thought or gripe, if they are going to change the laws then make scrums contest able again, ie put it in the middle not straight to the loose forward.
