There's probably two evenly matched teams here and I honestly believe the difference at Dewsbury was the ref. Aye we should have won after he had us well in front at one stage with the penalty count, we should have held onto our lead, we should have gone for the one pointer but the big decisions went the bulls way. Two trys from forward passes, the one to the winger was so obvious, did us in the end and we lost by a point. It will be tight again and could come down to the team as makes least mistakes, hopefully that's Fax. I'll go for Fax 24v12 bulls. Up The Fax!

Can only think Calcott is injured as he's definitely been one of our better forwards - without him, Hewitt and Springer from earlier in the season no idea why Jones can't at least get in the squad now he's proved his fitness playing at Hunslet. Don't normally like to criticise the club but the lack of information behind squad selection is frustrating

I agree about jones we are down to the bare bones in the forwards he as played a handful of games for hunslet but hasn't played in there last couple of games so i would of liked to see him given a go. As for the team this week i would pick. woodburnhall, saltonstall, barber, worthington, rawsthorne, harris, robinson, murray, moore, larroyer, garside, tangata, fairbank, subs, morris, kavanagh, curtis davies, grix, I would play tangata at right-side second row this week with kavanagh playing in the middle and garside left side second row. Hopefully this would help sure up our right side defence from last week which was pretty weak and also give us some punch on that side that we have lacked since hewitt left. And kavanagh as got good footwork which could come in useful against a big pack.Add to that barber at centre should help also.

calcott in isolation. jones and rawsthorne are coming back from injury

...and bradford sign Jordan Baldwinson on a one match loan from York. You couldn't make it up.

Ordinarily you'd think you could just about muddle through with no half-backs but from experience we look pretty awful. It's not just that we don't have anyone steering us around the field, its also that we move people out of position to cover the 6 and 7. For example playing Pickersgill at 6 is not only providing a pretty ineffective stand-off, it's also taking away his attacking threat from fullback.

If you lose this you should be heartily peed off. Surely we're there for the taking so I'd say 30-4 to Fax.

Lilley named in the Bulls squad. For anyone who has had fractured ribs you know that they don't heal in 3 weeks so I really can't see him playing and they have named him to keep us guessing or we get to him when we have the ball because hes going to be in some pain trying to tackle.

Agree and I said something similar on the Bradford board. Seems a big risk to rush Lilley back.

Lilley will be expected to do everything on Sunday which is hard enough without painting a big bullseye on his ribs

You might think this is laughable, but we (Fev) are loaning 2 Wembley heroes (youngsters) to our nearest n dearest (C*s) for the week so they can get their game on this weekend.

Personally I’m okay with these short term loans if it means clubs are able to get games on (though I wish it wasn’t C*s) since It’ll give our players game time (if they play) and at least keeps the league moving forwards in what has been a difficult year.

Totally disagree mate, yet again it brings the game into disrepute. bradford have no shortage of forwards and moves like these just give folk another stick to beat our game with. Happy Yorkshire Day!

Good win that and from a lovely forward pass. I do think we made hard work of it but I think our extra fitness and quality just got us over the line. It gives us a great chance of 3rd now but its clear we need some extra bodies in and we struggled when we had to rotate our bench. I thought Bradford taking the drop goal so early just reeked of them been out on their feet and thats pretty much how it were. Like Grix said though we keep winning ugly which is nice because I don't think we have played well for a few weeks now but at some point we are just going to have to step it up another gear.

Exciting finish to the game, great to have an atmosphere like that again. Both teams looked to be down to the bare bones player wise - thought their forwards especially England ran really hard and Lilley probably looked the best half on the field. Don't know what we're thinking not taking an easy 2 points in the first half - that and Harris's poor conversion miss could have cost us dear. Thought Mccomb had an excellent game on the wing but by mom by a mile was Salty who as usual ran his blood to water - delighted that he got the tries his efforts deserved.

I think Harris missing that kick played its part in those decisions. He just isnt a goal kicker but for the moment we are getting away with it until Robinson or Rawsthorne are back. Got to say Robinson either needs to be in for Grix next week or even on the bench as our 2nd hooker. There are not many teams we will get away with having the bench we had today.

What pandemic? Nice to see fans and players living life.
