Well done Bradford. Outmatched us, battered us up the middle and deserved the win.

[quote="bonaire":wjs6l5kz]well done Bulls but you need to find somewhere else to play[/quote:wjs6l5kz] We will pal, we're through to the next round!

Shout out to Ronan Michael's last-minute effort to stop Hoy going in underneath the posts.

Wow what a great team performance today just a shame we couldn't have put more points on the board in the second half probably due to missing Keyes but we held on for the win and that's all that matters. Felt that Cas were very disjointed till Westerman got involved in the second half. Can't wait for next week v London.

What a performance! Souter, Scurr, Bayliss and Michael all immense in the forwards. Halfbacks bossed it, particularly when Keyes was on the field. Thought Holmes won it for us with that try saver and the length of the field try. Respect for Taufua at the end consoling Hoy after the missed goalkick.

Meh. It was ok if you like that sort of thing.

Cas look certs for the wooden spoon unless Hull remain as bad as last year.

Liam Moore tried his hardest too bring life back into Cas in the 2nd half late hit on Gilmour everybody was expecting to be called even Cas play on.

Gilmour?

There were two hits on the kickers but I didn't think either were that late (for either side). Game was played in good spirit. If anything I thought Cas seemed to have the poorer discipline in the first half especially.

[quote="Bullseye":3r2leh05]Gilmour?[/quote:3r2leh05]Yeah 2nd half Cas players takes 4 steps after kick and puts him on his back not maliciously but certainly late

[quote="Bullseye":x39m84go]You mean on Lilley/Meadows/Keyes? We don't have a Gilmour?[/quote:x39m84go] It'll be the hit on Lilley midway through the second half. If it were Mikey Lewis or Jonny Lomax it's a sinbin and a penalty.

I heard the crowd but I was watching the ball.

Well what a result and nice to wake up to on a Monday morning. A bit like Leeds in 2019, this was probably our "final", but with a favourable draw, maybe we could have a shot at the 1/4 finals. The cup games always disappoint with the crowd, a real shame just shy of 3k were there to see it, though I get the reasons why.

I noticed a few of the click bait journos such as Bower and Carter couldn’t bring themselves to write too much positive about the game without stirring up some Odsal bashing.

And to think Aaron was one of the founding members of Bull Builder with us...

[quote="Wigan Bull":1nhoww47]And to think Aaron was one of the founding members of Bull Builder with us...[/quote:1nhoww47] Yeh it is a bit bizarre. I'm not a regular reader of his work so perhaps that is just his style. But this was an early round cup game, not a qualifier for SL. And whilst we are on the subject of Bradford and SL, you'd think every side in SL has been playing out of modern fit for purpose stadia since our relegation 10 and bit years ago. Wakefield have only just recently built a new stand but still have plenty to do, Cas I believe have made some small improvements but it is largely still the same. Huddersfield are still wholly reliant on an ageing KD, without his backing they're a Championship club. Salford have been a mess and it remains to be seen how the new owners work out for them. Bradford have only just got control of the stadium back, so quite what they were expected to do in that time I'm not sure. Finances are probably still far from perfect (but the sport as a whole is struggling) but they do appear to be making improvements where they can. Perhaps that narrative doesn't generate the traffic they need, who knows.
