Donaldson was back to his pre Challenge Cup injury form IMO.

It is a time consuming job. Did it myself for a while but I meant if you go onto Rams TV now, it takes you to cash something. It's messed up :/

What else would you expect from one of our ex players, really sad when Phil left the Lions and it's a pity we can't get a fee for him.Top player and will never let you down, your managemnt would be mugs not to offer him a contract.If not send him back to his rightful home Swinton.Good luck to the Bulls this year.

The stand outs for me were :

Gale - Organised, created and was more vocal than any half we saw last season. He''s going to be an automatic starter with the other 3 fighting it out for 6.

Purtell - Good first stint, took his try well, as others have said his defence looks good.

Bateman - Looked a great prospect as usual, He needs some gametime and with Elima and Whitehead out for first few he might get it.

Donno - looked better than he did all last season.

O'Brien - we now have the option of resting Heath or Disko as this kid is good enough to play in SL.

Kearney - what we've come to expect.

Joseph - definitely worth a year.


Hopefully we'll carry the positives into the next game vs SL opposition. With Heath, Lulia, Elima, Whitehead, Langley, Sammut & Kear to come into the side I'm hopeful we can make the 8 this season.

Certainly did them no harm. If it was a decision purely based on onfield issues he'd be a strong candidate. But I'll stick with I said before. Think it's a little early for him and he needs a season or two to earn respect of other players. Big call to make a new signing the captain and IMO only think you can pull it off it's a relatively big name/senior player coming in.

agreed, but its good to have another candidate, and from the sound of it hes going to be doing plenty of talking on the pitch whether captain or not.

Faal is red hot, he is on fire.

It's deja-vu all over again.

Having a moan about child is part of gameday tradition now.

Well we might as well not bother then! www.loverugbyleague.com/news_689 ... eview.html

No mention of Luke Gale in the entire article and whilst we've made other decent looking signings I can't help feel upon Luke's shoulders the season hangs. I know there's a million and one other factors but you can see just from a good run out against Dewsbury, the extent to which the Bulls fans instinctively feel a significant improvement at scrum half would have a greater impact on the team than a good player in any other position.

absolutely agree, and its significant that Gale was one of the first signings. from the sound of it much more directing by Gale and therefore direction. If the rest of SL don't appreciate how key a player Gale is to us, then great, lets surprise them! That sense of direction becomes habit, so if Gale has short injuries I would hope that it means team dont revert to 2009-11 mode of muddle. talking of muddle Hulls game v KR sounds like our game at Cas, knock ons and forward passes, a pack that is too small and the same type etc. the grass is always greener!
