I don't think the fact a 'chippy' little sod like Adam O'B, came out, like an old boxer, who blood streaming from every orifice says, "He never caught me with a proper punch ref", changes anything; he knocked O'Brien off his feet, and personally, [iI expect[/i our 'big lads' to protect our 'little lads' when their 'big lads' start trying to show how tough they are by knocking them about.

We did lose it on the kicks though. Maybe we don't protect our catcher well because we don't expect them to try and catch it? Far too often we allow the ball to bounce. You just can't do that at any level and it's been a feature of our season to me. The one on the kick off was the worst of all though.

Jimmy is going to have a selection headache once all our wingers are fit, because both Uaisele and Ulugia did really well yesterday I thought. Hopefully Ulugia's injury isn't too bad because Rovers struggled to put him down in the first half.

He will have selection headaches all over when you look at calibre of forwards not making cut. He can handle it. I wonder how much of his preferred starting line up is clear to him.....or is there no such thing. Looking forward to seeing Davies again as he looked like he could do some damage.

A fully fit Bradford squad will give any coach selection headaches and I think the players know this. Perfect example would be Walker who yesterday probably had one of his best games ever in a Bradford shirt and I'd say that is at least partly down to the fact that there's very few players in the squad who are guaranteed a spot. So far I think there's only Gaskell, O'Brien, Sidlow, Clough and Pitts who you'd imagine would get picked without thinking. The rest of the team is very much up for grabs

Wheres mullally?

Any news on Gaskells shoulder, was clutching it at the hooter?

Proud of them yesterday, didint take a backwards step but the game got away from us in the final 10 they had abit more flair, and their kicking games was better than ours by far especially the high bombs that where taken by the wind, one point though our right wing was weak in defence didnt 90% of there tries come on that side?

Sidlow cleared - sin bin sufficient.
Walker charged with striking (on o'brien) - Grade A. NFA to 1 match ban.
Donno charged with kicking out (on o'brien) - Grade B. 1-2 match ban.

I dunno, is it someplace near Uruguay?

Walker charged with striking. Those bent barstads at t' disciplinary clearly are as blind and biased as me

Meanwhile in other news both Baile and O'Brien have been awarded BAFTAs for fooling everyone except a couple of KR fans.

And Specsavers have refused to feature Mr Thomason in their next ad, as there is no current product they know how to make that they could say he should've usefully got.

I'm a leigh fan, I attended the hull kr match and was quite impressed with your stadium, e.g the tannoy and the speakers, it was like a carnival atmosphere,i enjoyed the day, was hoping you guys would win, good game too

I feel a bit sorry for Donno there. Yes he caught Adam in the face with his boot, but there's no way he would do something like that on purpose (to an ex team mate!).
As it stands he could end up with a longer ban than the house who was throwing punches.

Was it just the Tannoy and Speakers or were you scouting for better players? shame we have to wait so long for our much anticipated return match at our place

I'm quite fond of our hole in the ground too. In the same way you have grudging respect for your mother-in-law. Not a patch on yours sadly.
