Way to answer the questions about fitness & desire. Cracking game, well deserved

pleasure mate ... vpn working + weekly beer or 2 = score spam updates .. simple math, but im still trying to get my head round the point diff%, team goes though season (win/draw) but concedes no points, how do they calc diff% when you cant divide by zero

yeah we were murdered early doors with the pen count 7-1 or something .... could have been some silly/loss of concentration pens, but pens come down to discipline. at that stage I think I posted I thought the worst.

Rhinos fan here in peace.
I commentated on the game and thought, apart from the first 20 minutes you were excellent.
You can see that Lilley made a massive difference as you aren't just reliant on Brough, so much more threat.
Big shout out to Crossley who I thought was brilliant and after Rooks sin binning you could see he wanted to made amends and put in a real shift.
The Pickersgill try was fantastic and with Grix going off it seemed Fax then lost their way.
I think the biggest compliment I can make is there wasn't 1 player I thought had a bad game, every single player put their hands up and a shift in.
From reading some of the messages after the first 2 games you lost and how worried you were you should be massively proud of the way the Bulls have bounced back and how they played.
Well done the Bulls.

vast improvement over last couple of outings. Need a bit more work on discipline but having two actual halves on field and pickersgill back at FB made a big difference and we actually looked to have some structure. Match fitness looked better although smaller pitch at dewsbury probably helped a bit.

Could have gone right down the pan after first 20 mins. Great spirit to claw back into match and immense character to hold on and pop that drop. Well done boys. Must have been a lot of soul searching in last 2 weeks. Something worked.

Credit where credits due. That was a superb performance. At 14-0 down and getting constantly pinged it would have been easy to just implode and Fax rack up a cricket score. We showed some composure and started going set for set. As soon as we did that I thought we looked the better side.

Lilley was absolutely outstanding. Big wraps to Joe Brown too. To come back from last week and catch some of the bombs he did was terrific.

Great win today. Another effort is going to be needed for Dewsbury next week as well, as they look very good.

Sheffield have just beaten York too.

Much better performance overall. The effort levels were superb and they actually played like a team. Still plenty to work on, giving a 14 point start due to poor discipline could of seen us fold early.

Brough/Lilley combo showed plenty of promise but let’s hope there is backup for Doyle on the way soon. Now need to back up this effort for a period of time to string some wins together.

Overall a much improved performance from the bulls and perhaps Halifax thinking it was an easy day at the office after beating london, especially after going 0-14 up so quickly.

I thought both sides played about 40 mins each so a draw was a fair result. The difference in the end being the lilley DG and fax choosing not to go for one. Fine margins but a great game and so good to see and talk about some championship RL again.

Credit to the players and staff for that turn around after the Sheffield disaster. Some players obviously put in an effort to put right the wrongs and it’s showed. Same attitude every week and we should be competitive in most game and win more than we lose

May i politely ask those who were question our coach to comment and admit they were wrong??

Regards

On the contrary they have been proved spectacularly correct. A hard 2 weeks training and proper preparation has reaped an extraordinary improvement. Whereas those who constantly criticised the squad should now ask for forgiveness.

One swallow doesn't make a summer. It's great we turned up this week but it shouldn't gloss over the previous few results. If the team turns up to play consistently then they will have answered their critics.

Agree Bullseye.

We should enjoy the victory yesterday and today. Then get back at it with the same attitude for an equally tough game against Dewsbury.

With York losing again and Widnes losing at home to Dewsbury, the leagues wide open below Fev and Toulouse. But neither of those two are unbeatable and if you get in the play-offs its game on. We have the potential to finish as high as 3rd or as low as 9th. Most games will be decided by which team has the better attitude and just plays better. Very few games will be won by teams playing poorly as the gaps not as big as previous years. That's why I was so annoyed about our attitude against Sheffield and got what we deserved. We turned up with the correct attitude against a good Fax team and came away with the win. We need that sort of attitude every game otherwise we'll just get results like Sheffield.

I will definitely put my hands up and say I was wrong. I expected a hiding. Congratulations lads on the victory.

I was one of those who have been critical of the coach and I stand by the comments.

I'm happy that it wasn't another 50 pts drubbing, but had the discipline not changed after the first 20mins then don't fool yourself that it wouldn't have been.

What the team showed was some character which is a positive, but the style of our play is still awful and we will get picked off against the more smarter and physical sides in the league.

The only way I'll be convinced otherwise is if we put a string of results together. So far its been 4 awful showings (friendlies included) and 1 half decent effort.
