| Thought we got off to a decent start. Wakey came back well with big Ali causing havoc down our right side. Some slopppy defending by both sides and no real continuity due to the ref's fixation with his whistle.
We did well to get the win in a scrappy performance. Plenty of effort and both sets of players looked shot by the end.
It's going to be a struggle at Wigan!

| Not that bad a performance given the state of our squad, and also considering that those players will not have a clue where the rest of their careers lie going forward. Very commendable performance given the circumstances imo.

| Started like a train but then it was usual service resumed: dropping off too many tackles and giving away too many stupid penalties. We seemed to have more imagination in attack though and came up with some decent plays. Under the circumstances, they did ok. I was pleased with the effort after we were a man down. They seemed determined to not let it slip away.
So all in all, an improvement on the Saints match....

| As a wakey fan bitterly dissappointed. Gifted far too much ball and didn't put away all the chances.
Soft trys all round but mathers gifted bulls 3/4 trys with poor play.
Pretty much handed bulls 2 points in second half with poor play but well done all the same. We never seem to turn up well at odsal.

| You certainly can't knock the effort from the players this year. With everything that has gone on off the field and the ridiculous injuries we're having a pretty decent year. The right hand side is weak defensively but they did show some good quality touches in attack. I thought the pack was the difference today in the 2nd half.. Elima, Langers, Nas and Burgess all made good ground and were difficult to put down. We also made some poor decisions and a couple of woeful kicks but thankfully they weren't costly.
Hard to see anything other than a bit of a pasting by Wigan though. I think their speed of play will kill us and our attack will struggle against their better quality defence. If we keep within 20 points we'll have done well. I got 2 tickets for £16 so I hope they give us something to cheer about though!!

| Mathers was great for the Bulls today, nuff said.
Big Ali's still got it. Was surprised Wakey didn't use him more often as he had a field day against Platt, Gale and Whitehead.
Good to see Sammut back as he gives us a bit more unpredictability in attack.
Great effort from the team considering what's going on behind the scenes. This week is going to be interesting.

| Probably our best away support at odsal in some time.
Lautiti was awesome as usual. Aiton his strong self but ultimately mathers let the team down royally with shocking fb play. One to forget for me this one.

| Thought Mariano (sp?) had a good game for Wakey. Seemed to get through a ton of work. But I might have the wrong player.

| Moriano is a good player. Surprised he's not had more games this year. Looks to have bulked up a touch and still kept the speed.
Hopefully shift a few of the underperformers for next season and we can continue building up to a playoff spot next year.

| The real big news, although I couldn't quite see enough to be certain, is Bateman has lost his ponytail!
Shame the inept ref ruined the match, but the Bulls were really up for it, and all in all a very determined performance.
Gale I thought had a monster game, and was the key to our winning. Some of his kicks, especially in the wind, were awesome. Lulia is a real find, he stands out head and shoulders as the best centre I've seen this season, very calm, few errors, a superb handoff, strong as a bull and decent pace, good tackler.
Also you've got to hand it to Ainscough, he is one trier, the run out of defence that set up the length of the field effort was great. But the man Wakey will be having nightmares about is Elima.

| The cheaper PA system seemed much more feeble than the previous to the point of being muffled at best and almost inaudible at times. And then during half time I was trying to think what was missing and realised on the way home what it was. There weren't any Bullettes.
As for the game itself? Job done by the players in what must be very difficult circumstances. But it could also be said that they are putting themselves in the shop window whilst trying to stay injury free by not tackling much. I'll stay clear of mentioning Mr Hicks!!!
By the way, does anyone know which branch of Cash Converters the old speakers and Bullman's costume has gone to?

| Ainscough was immense today, he looked a real threat in attack.
It was a joy to watch him chasing down Sykes to save a certain try
I think it was a case of job done today, we look shaky in defence but very good in attack

| Man of the Year award goes to the Wakefield player receiving treatment from the physio (Southern?) who attempted to tackle Burgess!!!!
After watching the gutless display by England tonight he proved why RL is the greatest game.
