I thought Sheffield came out like a team with nothing to lose and everything to gain attitude. They threw some good shape at us early on, playing care free Rugby, helped massively by us letting them start sets 30/40 metres up field every time. When we started keeping hold of the ball, looking more organised and making Sheffield came off their own line, it turned into a different game. 


I think Lingard will be filthy with those two 7 tackle sets Sheffield handed us. That allowed us to sneak a try just before HT and it turned into a different game. 


Judging by Nobles post match reaction, he was far from impressed with Hallas getting binned. Even though I thought Hallas did well coming off the bench, I expect Scurr will replace him for the Fax game. 

Does the bye system work the same as it does here in Aus? I.e. you automatically get 2 pts added to the ladder on your bye week?

I expect Scurr to come back in too.  Probably for Hallas.  

As for the bye-question Wigsy I have no idea.  I'd guess we don't get 2pts for the bye.   It's just a free week I think.  


Any news on Gill's injury?   If he's out then Armitage to left centre and Taufua back on the wing assuming he's served his ban?

Taufua didn't get a ban, just points on his record.

Taufuas out for 3 months with a hamstring injury

Ah bugger.  Right so if Gill's out then what are the options?  Not Bayley Liu to centre I hope. He was ruined there in that game at Hunslet.  It was like when Butler ended up there in that horrendous thrashing at Keighley a few years back.

We started the season short on backs and passed up the chance to sign Tindall.   Looks like a bad move.

Seeing a few comments on Facebook that the full western terrace will be open for remaining game. Common sense prevails. 

What's Jayden Myers up to? I know he can't get in the Wakefield team and has been on DR at Batley. It does state in this article that he would be available to join Bradford on loan should he not be selected for his parent club. I hope we are pursuing this option if we are light on numbers.

I don't think any of the academy backs are ready - George Raynor was closest, but he had an injury in an academy game a few weeks ago. 

It would seem to be Lui, or a loanee. Which isn't a great look for a squad/team our size. 

We do have first option on Myers, I'd forgotten about that. 

As i understand it it they are hopeful gill only jarred his knee and souter was a dead leg so should be all good there…. As fir the earlier tindall comment an offer was made but he wanted ti be a guarenteed starter we really couldn’t offer him that not when you consider Taufua, Armitage and OK
