I’ll give you this.. It is suppose to be a summer game.

That’s the main issue for my mind but we have to if we want to keep building and compete in 3-5 years time.

No easy games but we’ve beaten batley in a tight one and taken leigh close. We have to take that momentum into Workington (without a win) and put in a good performance and not stutter to a half d effort.

I said it before the leigh league game but valiant losers is the correct tag tonight. (Naturally on that day we were blown away in the second half though )

Bradford fans made their presence heard (listening on BBC Manchester) though the mic was in that stand. Hard to judge from that bowl of yours but the roars seemed raucous yet thin. Hope you made a few bob and that it tempts a few of the doubters back.

Looking forward to seeing it on "BullTube"

Interesting point. I don't think Steve's been right all year. If he's not well or carrying a niggle it makes sense.

Cruel way to lose. Really enjoyable game, every man worked their absolutely nuts off tonight, when it could have been quite easy to roll over and let Leigh steam roll us.

We look so much better with both Patton and Lilley in the team, Gills try was a pearler.

We need to set that performance as the bench mark for the rest of the year and we'll be comfortably in the play-offs.

Well it sounds like we competed for the full 80 and I didn't expect that so I hold my hand up. Hopefully we can maintain our performance levels to something like that for our league games.

First time I've seen Kibula play, initially excited to see what he could offer when he came on.. big lad etc. Didn't seem to run with much purpose or aggression last night. Understand he is coming back from injuries so perhaps early days. Hope he's not another one of those forwards who look to have it all physically but lack that bit of mongrel.

To be fair to Kibula, as soon as he got the ball, 3 men were opon him instantly. He's not played rugby for two years due to covid and an achilles injury. Hopefully the more he plays the better he'll be. Remember us not being able to handle him when he played for Swinton.

I remember that. Didn't he also play well against us for Dewsbury too? Hopefully he can get a run of matches and get some fitness.

One reason our halfbacks are looking very impressive is because they are both taking it to the line before passing and comitting defenders whereas previously half backs have been just catching and passing leaving defenders to read the play easily.
