rovers 6 bulls 0 paul cooke try after 13 mins

Defence definitely seems to have improved if the friendlies are anything to go by and we look a fair bit fitter as well.

Looking forward to Fri now but we'll need a big effort from our pack with 2 Props out injured. We don't have the biggest of packs nowadays and I fear we could get a bit bullied at Huddersfield if our forwards aren't on top form.

By who?

Darrel Griffin and Shirley Crabtree. LMAO.

Will you behave yourself! You know the rules by now!

Pretty clear Hall will need to do some time in the front row, is it not?

Looks like it to me.

I hope Crossley gets a shot, but I suppose Macca will have more of an idea whether he's up to it.

I agree with AaronBull, If Orford is that good on his first game with a new partner, then by summer when he's used to Kearney and the ground's dry and firm, he will be immense. He's got that excellent skill that Henry Paul used to have of great peripheral vision, he fooled HKR defence on several occasions by looking like he was making a run but then flicking the ball accurately without even looking.

Does anyone know why he was wearing 22 though?
