From what i'm told the Featherstone side are pretty much full time ( certain players are and some aren't ).

It's men vs boys this year for the Bulls side. The game just takes it's toll a lot more on them. Though it was a worry last week that you really couldn't tell who the full time side were of the two teams. Dewsbury have been battered today. Last week obviously took a lot out of them.

..and now the lottery numbers please?

That is definitely the case.

Only thing you did miss Bullseye was great showing from our U19s. Felt weird watching a team give their all, big hits, aggressive defence, some great passing and didn't let their heads drop just because they were 10 points down at one point. Put the first team to shame. Rowan Milnes scored 2 beauty individual efforts and Ryan Leadbeater scored a hat trick. He would have scored some of the chances Caro bottled out of yesterday. Shame we probably won't keep hold of these lads.

I'll be going to more U19s games for sure. Didn't fancy Sunday because I'd have ended up staying for the 1st team game and would've left in a bad mood.

Leigh Beattie said after the game that it was a big improvemnet on the Dewsbury (mis)match, which I'm sure is correct though, as an achievement, that is setting the bar ridiculously low.

I thought we got the worst of the bad calls, of which there were plenty, though we did get a few compensatories going our way too. I won't criticise the effort, as there was plenty imo, we rarely looked like scoring though and even when we did, we too often, found a way to avoid it. Not sure the backs should be criticised too much though, we seemed to make more ground going on the outside than we ever did down the middle - though indecisiveness or bad decision making and or a brain fart usually brought it to a halt before too long.

Hard to say I was disappointed. Disappointment only comes when expectations aren't realised and, to be fair, I went with few of those. The U19s showed how it should be done, even though a couple of our best U19s were actually in the first team, so congratulations to them on a great performance. I wonder where they will be strutting their stuff next season?
