One at least has got to play otherwise its 3 that drop out of 19 squad..hopefully all 3 will and sykes and raynor/ainsough drop out.

if hauraki gets cleared to play..if not can see pitts promoted to second row and bishops finger on bench.

someones posted in leeds board that he's been cleared to play. read into that what you will.

Coaches on their way. Just had first stop at Tibshelf. 3 coaches & a minibus. The minibus got lost getting to Odsal which doesn't bode well and bus C has broken down and been replaced. Let's hope our luck improves

Here's to a good match. Enjoy the day Bullies!

Sorry if I'm being dim here, but what Bulls Text Service?

I've. Come down for weekend and on way for day 2 and the big game at 2. Currenly on a st helens supporters coach as they're at same hotel. only allowed on on the condition we stuff the rhinos!!

Gutted for the team, they put a big effort in today and deserved to get something out of this match.

Plenty of reasons to remain hopeful for the season ahead though. I thought Whitehead was superb and Briggs showed that he is going to be a good signing for us. Diskin had another good game and caused plenty of problems for Leeds.

Potter will be disappointed by a few lapses of concentration and the silly offload by Lynch in the closing minutes. We should have been playing one man Rugby and kicking for a repeat set.

I thought the penalty try was dubious given that Ah Van was covering across. Raynor was sucked in far too easily for a player of his experience to give BJB the space to break away.

There is plenty more improvement in this side and Herbert to come back so I'm not too disheartened. But the amount of big games we seem to lose by video ref calls in big games just seems to keep on mounting.. surely we're due some benefit of doubt in our favour sometime soon?

I think all of our players did really well. I could say something good about every one of our players after that. Gutted we lost though.

Seemed to be out position for the first try aswell. Other parts of his game were good but defensively looked suspect.

Perhaps, but I thought the pass created that space rather than his positioning being poor. The last one he was sucked in, as an experienced winger he'll be disappointed. But for our 1st game there is plenty to be happy about, the result is gutting nevertheless.

Think if Langley hadn't got injured result would have gone our way. We visibly tired back end of both halves and extra man on bench could have proved the difference. To borrow a phrase plenty if positives to take from game IMO. Whitehead our MOM.
