Some quite strange selections there. Guess we'll see how it plays out

Bulls 4 London 0, however we are still dropping the ball

poor defence AGAIN 8-8

Diskin called for 2, players have gone for 4 instead.

I noticed last week that Williams was coming in from his wing much too far and Workington scored from it. Sounds as though he has done it again today and Rhys Williams has taken advantage. Compressed defence when in their half but when in your own 20 you have to open out and mark your opposite winger.

Delicate 6 point lead. Really need to score next I think. Maybe even worth having an early drop goal just to keep London chasing the game. Going to be a close finish. Got to respect posession and keep London working in defence in the heat. Certainly lacking leadership. I honestly don't care how we play in this as long as we get the 2 pts. Sounds like defence is pretty good.

Sounds like only one team come out for the 2nd half.

Re: my previous post Williams has done it again and his opposite number has gone in again. Will we never learn??

Second place gone. Utterly embarrasing having Haggerty at half back!!! Not scored a single try again in this half (how many times has that happened this season)

Never mind, Purtell will be back in the halves next week

He's the only fit guy we've got who's any experience in that position. Given the poor recruitment in that position by Bradford it is what it is.
