Great day for the Bulls. Pleasing to see the team rack up some points and really go for the jugular in the 2nd half. Still a fair few games to go before the split but hopefully now they're in sight it will really focus the side on the task ahead. Still have some quality players like Mullaney, Ferguson, Siejka and Blythe to bring in but on current form they aren't guaranteed a spot.

Massively disappointing to see young Mellor sustain what looks like a bad knee injury, he was really starting to look impressive.

I personally think Lauaki is making steady progress and did some decent stuff today. Unfortunately I think he is saddled with the 'wrecking ball' nickname given to him on his arrival when I'm not sure he ever been that much of a wrecking ball

Once we got going we were so much better than Doncaster it was a bit scary, as someone said 'men against boys'. And the second half was absolute carnage... 54-0 over those 40 minutes

Listening to Jimmy in the post-match on Bulls TV he is obviously going to stick with his consistent selection policy whatever anyone else thinks, and - fair play - he is the guy in charge! But it looks like there'll need to be at least one change next week with Mellor looking like a long term casualty. The obvious like-for-like is Ferguson (Anyone know why he didn't play today?).

I wonder if Jimmy will stick to his 'why change a winning team?' when Siejka and Mullaney are fit?

Steve Crossley's first try was really satisfying. Seeing him barge his way over with four men (including Groat the scrote) on his back.

Talking to one of your media guys after the game, he said he didn't know what planet he was on.
The view I had of the incident which led to him leaving the field, he's tapped/hit Groat on the shoulder, and Groat has swung round and hit him with his arm. I can't say for certain whether he's deliberately meant to hit him, but he connected pretty cleanly..

He looked ok after the game

An attendance of near as damn it 5000 against a side that brought a small but visible away following is really really good to see. Especially when you consider it was a higher attendance than a superleauge local derby played on the same day.

TBF a think we got a few more females in the crowd due to the deal that was running but it was a good way of bringing in extra fans while getting behind a good cause.

On Gaskell we seemed to cope ok with him playing a big part due to that knock to the arm he got. I was surprised to see him out there in the second half and he played little part in the game compared to his usual involvement.

Its a better attendance than the last 2 times we've met you at Odsal (1995 and 2012), both attendances those days were nearer 3500.

We got 10 tries in the second half. It's obvious - that Gaskell's been holding us back

I've just watched the highlights on BullsTV - that cheap shot from Groat is a shocker, deserves a few matches for that one.

Ref wasn't for doing anything about it though was he, think the call came from the touch judge repeatedly telling him nearly another cop out

Listening to the BCB commentary on it they missed it completely, sometimes those two can make Stevo & Eddie seem less clueless. The Bulls did well to keep their discipline in a niggley match, lessons seem have been learned since the 2nd half of the first game.
Leigh's result won't slow them down in the run in, but both Coach's will expect tight defences and scoring attacks for the run to get the best points difference from now on.

Don't think we heard the last of the groat incident watch this space

He looked to go in with a swinging arm and when Gaskell said something he leathered him in the face.

My first impression of the Groat incident was he was trying to reef the ball from Clough (?) and Groat got it wrong his arm came flying out and whacked Gaskell in the face who was jogging back into the ruck area. (This came after a kick off and Gaskell was making his way back from the 40m line)

I'll see if I got it completely wrong on BullsTV!
