Exactly, we need players standing further back to give some space and to cause the defence to think.

We seem to play like this:

*
*
* * * ** * * * *
* *
Should be like this:

*
*
* * * * *
* *
* *

Well maybe not like that, it's not meant to be a literal representation but something with more depth!

That didn't look like that before I posted it!!!!!

Know the problem mate.

Don't think it's very good at handling spaces.

You might have been better doing a full stop instead of a space, and an X instead of an *.

That said, I've never managed to get a decent graphic up on here yet

He's been performing quite well in the 20's, much better than the 2 games Briggs has played.

I caught the second half of the 20s and he playing pretty well. Looked bigger than I thought he was too. I actually didn't recognise him from the Dewsbury game.

Here's one many of you will like. Took me 20 minutes, that.

Score was 38-30 to Bradford.

Not sure on the scorers though.

Review is up on the Bulls site.

Dunno about a 'natural no. 7' but Southernwood is far from being SL quality right now. He's only young and has time to develop but he's not, as yet ready to step up imo.

I don't think Herbert has been in any way outstanding but he is holding it together and seems to have the ability to create gaps with the pass, I think also he might be helped by playing with a natural no.6. I'd agree he's no Deacon with the boot, though I've certainly seen far worse kicking from a halfback. He perhaps needs to take the game by the scruff of the neck and assert himself more, perhaps, in a similar way to Southernwood, needs a bit more time.

Well if Briggs gets a call up before him then maybe he has a right to feel aggrieved. In the meantime I hope he keeps playing well because with all these injuries he'll get a game soon.

Tom Burgess:

Metres - 89
Carries - 8
m/carry - 11.1
Tackles - 6
Misses - 1

Not bad for a 1 spell debut is it. Not to mention the gaps he created as a dummy runner. I see a bright future for this lad. I just hope he's continued to be eased in so he doesnt end up like Feilden.
