Couldn't make this one, but sounds like they gave it a decent effort. Tough few weeks ahead, really need to get a result versus York.

Trip away to London and Sheffield after that. But it's good prep for a play off spot, as we are I presume going to have to face Fev or Toulouse away to reach that play off final which will be a tough ask.

Positives for me. We went toe to toe with the best side in the division and on another day may have nicked a result. Think we need a full strength side to do that realistically but I thought pretty much everyone gave 100%. Scurr in particularly in the forwards looked good.

Where we fell down a bit was our last tackle options. In the first half we handed the ball over on the 5th far too many times. It was as if John Kear had given us the gameplan but from Greenwood's after match comments I think it was the players losing track of the tackle count and not being composed. Thought we dropped the ball too much in the second half when we had a long period where we had the upper hand. If you don't take your opportunities you can expect to be punished. The Arundal no-try was a difficult one to see properly. They should've had another but Holmes put in a try saver. Fev made plenty of yards up the field but seemed to lack ideas near the line.

For us apart from Scurr I thought DFJ had a good game and wasn't exposed on the wing, Lilley tried hard and Lawrence put in is his usual faultless performance. England played well apart from one arm grab tackle that nearly let Fev in for a try. Was a bit concerned by Appo's performance as he seemed to be running the ball in at 50% and looked off the pace. Maybe not fit.

The less said about the trouble in the crowd the better but let's just say it's not a surprise is it?

Don't normally comment on the off-field trouble but enough is enough now.

Quite frankly the RFL are complicit in this with their pathetic punishments of "suspended fines"

Everyone in the championship is aware and fed up of a certain section of Fev fans being thugs. Even fax and bulls fans are united on it!!

They're already being investigated for abuse of Jesse Sene-Lefaos children at Sheffield. And now this.

It's not all Fev fans, Phantom on here is great to have RL debates on. But Fev and the RFL need to find a way of outing these scumbags from our sport.

I though we were the better team for long periods.

Again though, the opposition team were constantly talking to the ref and so I got the feeling it was reffed to their expectations that we had to adjust to that.

Not saying the ref was poor but they constantly, shall we say, sought guidance and as such the ruck was policed to their requirements. The constant holding down, flops and general pratting about at the PTB was a little irritating.

All in all I went away happy as during most of the second half I felt sure we'd nick it and my expectations were that we'd have capitulated on 60 mins and gone down by 30.

The score certainly flattered them.

I agree about Appo. Too often took the ball from a standing start where he should be taking the pass at speed.

Lawrence and Liley were best 2 players for us closely followed by Scurr.

Tef was poor on the holding down and he was too long to go round the tackle to see the Arundel try. I was pretty close and it looked like he grounded the ball and by the time the ref got there had been turned over.

Can touch judges give a forward pass or is it just down to the ref because the one on the standing terrace missed loads.

Competed but we're still not good enough to trouble anyone in the playoffs. I'm already looking forward to next year. Thought Scurr bossed it.

Fev's likely promotion is a good thing as the six fingered crew will be superleague's problem. I wonder how long the RFL will put up with St Helens Fans cars being scratched up or stuff launched at catalans coach as it leaves the ground?

my take just listening .... six again rule has to be sorted, we were awarded many more then fev but basically its just a restart from the ptb and on tackle one, absolutely no advantage ... fev had many more pens awarded so they get a cheap kick up field for extra yards. fev kept gifting chances due to their errors but their def was solid, second half we spent long periods attacking their line but failed to take advantage ... yesterday they were there for the taking but its just one game.

sheff lost yesterday so we are still 3rd, big ask as we have sheff london with york next week to come.

stay 3rd and win a playoff we go to toulouse (not a good place but fortunately it will be during the cooler time of year)

Yeah the six again rule needs assigning to the bin. Can someone explain why Fev got a kick to touch penalty for a flop while we got six again??

I don't mind the six again but it's better how it's applied in the NRL who've cut out the cynicism employed over here.

A six again on tackle 1 should be a penalty.

Yes I agree with that it's completely pointless on tackle 1 there's no advantage at all. Isn't it a penalty in the NRL

Perhaps six again should only be awarded in the 20 box. That would make a difference. How can people have such different views on two players - LIlley and Lawrence? Cannot believe an Argus comment saying they were both rubbish

Wasn't at the game or seen any footage but on the balance of probability I would find Featherstone guilty of all charges and deduct 30 league points.

As a neutral I thought the Bulls had a good dig. Fev looked very ordinary and don't look to be bringing much to the table even if they do go up. Prefer Wakey and Cas to stay up over them TBH or Toulouse to come up. At least it's a decent away trip.

Sorry, can't agree that that it was reffed to Fev's expectations. How many 6 agains did Bradford get? Far more than Fev, and rightly so as I thought we were guilty in laying on too long. So to say the ruck was policed to our requirements is clearly wrong. There was no way Fordy would have wanted all those 6 agains against us with the extra tackling that ensues.

I too thought Bradford had a dig without ever really threatening to beat Fev. Bradford made no breaks up the middle. DFJ had couple of runs up the wing that petered out and both tries had an element of luck: the bounce that fell nicely for the first, and the awful drop out that led to a penalty 10 out which Bradford were able to capitalise on.

Good luck for the rest of the season.
