If other results go our way, we can lose against Catalans and Hudds and still make it.

Diskin had a stinker........................


until the last minute

It was an excellent performance. They worked really hard for each other in defence, the kicking game was excellent and they stuck to the game plan. Hull seemed to make a lot of metres but most of the time, due to our kicks, they were starting from near their own try line.

Jarrod Sammut is massive for us. We need to sign that guy on a long term deal. He is a great player but also a big character which makes him popular with the fans. He always seems to give 100% as well, like in the 2nd half when Hull were attacking our line and he pounced on a dropped ball to halt their attack. That sort of attitude is infectious and rubs off on the other players. We have missed him and Kearney badly these last few weeks.

I thought Luke Gale had his best game of the season so far. His running and passing was good and his kicks were brilliant. Having him, Sammut, Kearney and Addy on the pitch at the same time made us unpredictable and they all put kicks in at some point. This to me highlights the importance of making sure we retain Addy. Also Donaldson, I was sad to see him left out but now Bateman is injured you'd think he'd be straight back in. Get him signed up and keep a strong squad. They are developing into great players.

Elliot Kear is player of the year for me though. He played another blinder on Friday and has turned into a quality winger. He always looks for work and makes great metres when we're near our own try like, has pace and chases back really well, is excellent when we put up attacking kicks and safe as houses when taking kicks in defence. He supported Purtell brilliantly for his try.

More of the same please Bulls! Think I may go to Wakey in 2 weeks, it could be a cracker. Hate to say it but I hope the Rhinos do us another favour and beat them next week!

Agree about Kear.

The first few games of this season I didn't think he offered much, but he's shown us now just how good he is. I'm looking forward to see him get even better too.

Long term deals for Sammut, Kear, Addy and Donno would keep me happy!

If Langley is going then it seems silly to let Addy and Donno go too. Playing Addy at 13 will give is another option. I can't remember the last time we had good attacking/kicking options at 1,6,7, and 13.

Thanks for a great game and absolutely loved the execution in the last few minutes.
