Next home game 26th May methinks. the date you refer to is the start of the 6 home games in the last 9 match run in.

26th may is at etihad.

That's the Magic Weekend. Next home game is 23rd June against Widnes.

Improvement on the past 2 weeks but stll our defence when we are 40m up the pitch let's us down think our goalline was quite good.

Silverwood didn't have a bad game imo, but what are the use of touch judges they could easily flag for forward passes, and there where a few for both teams. Ino they missed the main one that cost gave leeds try but bulls had 4 more chances.to put the player down but failed to do so.

Discipline and errors was improved but our def line speed is still something to be worked upon, leeds where so quick of the mark as where wigan and wire we made bout 3m they where making 7plus.

Don't come back from many games wishing I hadn't bothered.

Shocking 1st half, improved scoreline a bit later on but Leeds dominated us in every area. Think we need a better organiser than Gale at 7. He's trying hard but too often he picks the wrong pass.

Unfair to single one player out though, it wasn't his fault we lost and the whole team want a bollocking this week IMO.

I was p!ssed off at half time, but now that I've had time to reflect it's hard to be that disappointed if I'm honest.

Think about the state the club was in this time last year, think about how bad our finances were, how bad they STILL are no thanks in part to the RFL.
Given all of that, we still have a side currently in 7th place in the league and one that looks good enough to make the playoffs come the end of the season.

We just played a side that has won 5 of the last 6 grand finals and before today had won their last 7 league games and were running hot.

What did you seriously think was going to happen? We were never going to win, the odds were stacked against us before a ball was even kicked.

For where we are now in our rebuilding process, we can't realistically be looking to topple sides like Leeds/Wigan/Warrington. The efforts shown in the second half have convinced me that the players we currently have in our squad wear the bulls colours with pride and WANT to play for us/FC.

In the situation we are currently in, I don't think we can ask for much more than that.

Sounds like you have the same attitude as the players had in the 1st half.

I think that's a bit harsh on the players. As a supporter I'm allowed to have an attitude like that

Agreed about Gale, he is just chosing too many wrong options, wrong pass, kicking instead of passing. Very poor performance overall, we were better second half when we had some fire, but where was this in the first half. I also think we need a mongrel, fed up of cheap shots and no one seeming bothered. The high shot by Bailey at the end, why is no one standing up to the guy? Not saying run in and throw haymakers, but run in start shoving a bit and stand up for your team mate!!!!!

Addy to start next week, he seemed to steady the ship when he was brought on?

To be fair what is Gale supposed to do when the forwards aren't laying the platform? We struggled to match Leeds physically pretty much all game.

They did look almost scared when leeds attacked in first half.

Agree about the mongrel. We have a lot of hard workers, but (Bateman aside) we have no one whos a bit nasty. We're missing elima, whitehead can get narky if someone's in his face but we need more than that sometimes.

A big joe or a Sam burgess would do wonders for our pack. I fear we will get noticed as soft by the other teams if Cummins doesn't address this soon.

That's a fair point and one I was talking about after the match.

He does deserve more time when the forwards start laying the platform. I'm still not convinced about him as our 7 long term though.

Thought Ben Evans had a very good game tonight, looked up for it.

Add into the mix that he missed out on pre season he is bound to take some time to slot back into the team. I'm more concerned about the errors that Sammut comes up with that puts the whole team under pressure.
