I think it's clear from the games we have played and the league table that we have by far the best attack in the league.

It's important that Gaskell stays fit - him and O'brien have started the season on fire.

I cringe when I see posts like this. How can you make statements like that when we've played different opposition to other clubs? Sure, our points for are looking good right now, but to say 'we have the best attack in the league' is either fishing for bites or just biased claptrap.

Jimmy Lowes was speaking very highly about AOB in the post-match interview again this week. He's having a great season as are Sidlow and Clough.

For me Sidlow and Clough have cemented their starting places. It looks like any two from Taharoui, Luaki, Fleming and Davies for the bench prop spots

...which is a pretty amazing luxury of riches when you think back 12 months

From what we have seen of the Championship I'm beginning to think that 4 props on the bench might be the way to go, as we have certain possibilities in the starting 13 for filling in elsewhere.

What an excellent afternoons entertainment, despite the weather, great away support, we barely shut up and created a great atmosphere. Also, got to say I like what fev are doing with their ground, its a really tidy little ground and they are making great strides with the "new" stands, puts Belle Vue to shame.

On the pitch there was a clear difference in skill and fitness levels today, once we controlled the ball a bit better (dont think we completed 3 sets in the first 15-20mins) and got some field position we looked very dangerous. As others have said AoB and Gaskell really stand out at this level, but I thought Purtell, Shaw, Olbison, sidlow, Baille and Clough were also consistently excellent today. We need to find a place for Shaw and his goalkicking, superb kicking considering the conditions and close middle 8 games could be swung by goalkicking. Uliuga needs to work on ball control but he does have some good attacking skills. I was most impressed by the defensive effort though, which was strong from the first to last minute, even when the game was effectively over.

COYB.

Absolutely agree. It would have been an absolutely miserable afternoon to watch a game in those conditions at Belle Vue.

Featherstone have got a tidy little stadium there

Your attack wasn't the best at the LSV look at the League positions.

Let's see how it looks at the end of the season Charlie.

Indeed, it will be interesting to compare the reverse fixture particularly if we have close to our first choice 17 fit with the benefit of 20 odd matches played together. The Leigh game was always likely to be a bit of an ambush but I'm happy for the Leigh fans to believe their own hype in the meantime.

Maybe the Leigh ref will be appointed again. We missed a trick not having our own.

The win was built on the back of some very solid defence imo. If we'd buckled early on it could have been very different since we barely had any ball in the first 20 mins - largely due to chucking it away, it must be said.

For his first game at half I thought Mullaney had a great game and the forwards looked solid throughout, prticularly Clough and Sidlow. Ferguson played well in his relatively short burst and came through it without incident, again a good sign.

Shaw was fine at FB for me, and his kicking must have really been dispiriting for Rovers especially as they pretty much dominated the early part of the game but found themselves well behind by half time.

MOM has to be Gaskell, I do hope we can keep him - he's far too good for this division.

Has anyone watched the post match press conference that's up on Bulls TV?
I burst out laughing at Jimmy's comments about Ryan Shaw
Well worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet.
