Ya reckon, I think he looks a fair size. He's like a little Bull(pun intended). He's 6,2 and 15 half stone.

I thought that until I stood next to him at Harlequins last year. He's a decent size and he certainly looked strong enough for SL tonight!

Thought Tim Smith should have been off aswell. Looked an awful tackle to me.

6ft2? Hmm well it wouldn't be the first time that a couple of inches were added to a players stats! I had him around the 6ft mark perhaps. But there you go, I've never measured him!

Anyway the point remains, he seems to have a fair bit of strength for a player of his age.

Was very happy impressed with the second half performance, in recent years we would've lost this game. As has been said Bateman, Whitehead, Jefferies were brilliant. Good performances from Kearney, Hargreaves and Heath too.

Still need to do a lot of work on defence especially around the rook, it is very poor and easy for other teams to make easy yards.

It was interesting to hear MP's interview after the game, he really didn't seen all that impressed, especially with jeffries. I found it quite reassuring that he expected better from the team.

Quote: RobBullsFan1989 "Absolutely brilliant performance... only 1 question... why can't we play like that every week?
I would imagine the quality of opposition has something to do with it. Catalans and Wigan at home, as appose to Wakefield and castleford away.

Also I ain't saying this to wind you all up. But in the first game of the seAson there was boos etc, which might increase the pressure at home whhere as away they are more free to play

Good performance from the Bulls tonight, 2 points in the bag, Hargreaves seems to have found his game (finally) good kicking game from BJ, Burgess made some yards and tackled well. Bateman looks a real prospect, get him signed up to a longer deal.

Bateman
Whitehead
Donaldson

With Addy, Olbison

The future looks good for the backrow

Don't talk wet. It was cheap & crap but nothing like a sending off. I didn't see all the game but by far the worst incident was Cockayne's swinging fist as Whitehead scored his third try. Very reminiscent of Raynor on Tomkins & could have been serious if he had connected. He even had a second go which also didn't connect fortunately. Prior to the second half I had been hugely impressed by Wakey this season, but the signs are not good if players like Smith & Cockayne are losing it already.

It was a happy bus (well, the passengers were happy icon_lol.gif ) which left Belle Vue last night. I thought Jeffries was outstanding and Elliott Whitehead's finishing was clinical. The pack played well in general but where Bateman gets his energy from I just don't know after playing for the U20s as well. I can't recall a single player who didn't contribute strongly last night, there were a few errors for sure, but they can all hold their heads high for the spirit and never say die attitude they showed.

I think Potter's gameplan was spot on for that game, but I hope he's got something else in his mind for next week as I don't think it will be as effective against a team like Wire. The Wolves will present a different set of problems than Wakey did but I think most fans will be happy, win or lose, if they give it a good go.......you never know your luck!

I quite like those flashy advertising banners.
Gave the old ground a modern feel.

1st half I thought was very unconvincing. Our attack was pretty predictable and the defence wasn't great. We were too indisciplined as well. Second half was a transformation to rival last week versus Wigan only in a positive way. We sorted out the discipline, stuck to the game plan and could've had over 40points if we'd been a bit more clinical.

Wakey looked good in the first half but lost discipline and composure badly in the second.

I don't expect a win next week versus Wire based on this performance, we've a lot to work on but if we can at least make it difficult for them I'll be reasonably happy.

He knows that Cas & Wakey are not in the same class as Catalans

and Wigan. Still a lot to do if we're gonna get our 1st home win next week

Think Potters been taking post match interview lessons from Kenny Dalgleish
