Good pre season yesterday, hard work on a shocking pitch.

The ref did spoil it a few times with some strange calls but I quite enjoyed it.

I though we played ok when we wanted to. Again, L'Estrange and Kearney looked and I am looking forward to seeing them play with Orford. Good to see Reardon back in a Bulls shirt, thought he looked dangerous.

I hope Crookes is given time at centre because I rate him highly.

I though Buderus looked good for Leeds, as soon as he came on he created something. Don't agree with Maguire being one of the biggest threats yesterday, thought he was fairly quiet, looks to be carrying a bit of timber.

Not arf'. If only I had some talent we'd be virtually twins.

I honestly thought that we did really well against the Whinos BUT I really do think that we missed the organisational skills of Deacon - we certainly missed his field kicking & GOAL kicking skills.

Never the less - I think we will have a great 2010 Superleague season.

Ps a belated Happy New Year to everyone

I REALLY hoped that when Deacon left, you'd have followed him.

It's older than old now.

Saw one drop of the shoulder and go that made me think he could be dangerous!

One thing I did notice on Crookes was good defence. Also one good thing about a muddy pitch is it's easy to see who's been working loads and who hasn't, from the state of their shirts. Crookes' shirt was covered, whereas one or two others were half clean (Worrincy once again springs to mind).

If the coachs didn't notice. I'm sure the new GPS will show who did what in the stats. But if Worrlord had some sense he'd have swopped his pack with Langleys!

I'd be really interested to see the stats from this fancy system. But that's probably because I'm a bit of a loser for stuff like that

(and many other things if I'm honest)

Not a loser at all! I like gizmos gadgets and data related stuff as well, the point the coaching staff have to understand it gives part of the picture, not the whole picture when looking at the overall stats of a game. It can show up interesting annomalies but common sense should prevail in those cases.

The worry is, whoever looks after the website is involved, cause they don't have much of a clue

I expect you may pass on a few pointers on how best to use it to Steve at the fans forum in Feb Dennis...

I doubt I'll get chance,

cause Ian-R will have collared him re team selection and tactics!
