Bulls squad for the Cougars friendly.

Most of the new signings will feature. Liam Tindall featured in the squad as well.

Went to get tickets for the game today, not seen the club shop like that for a long time. Queuing out of the door. All the merch flying off the shelves.

Noble effect in full swing.

I was up there earlier in the week (bought the away shirt) and it was packed then.... Really good to see.... There is definitely a feel good vibe about the club....

Ok, good game, all targets met I think. A win, good attitude in defence, lots of bodies in, pushed back several yards in defence after contact. Combinations were looking ok at this stage. Running threat from both halves. The NRL centre/wing combo stood out for me. Also Waine and Gee down the middle.
Then lots of academy/reserve talent to finish the game.
One J Bateman was watching from the stand as well.

Was his younger brother playing? John is very lucky to get a third bite of the NRL cherry, but he is a quality player when he wants to be, needs to be more consistent and stop getting on the wrong side of coaching staff. Wish him well at NQ Cowboys.
