Shame we can't drop Halley ohh for a half decent winger.

Out of interest RER, would you rather play Halley or Reardon?

Scruton.

This is pretty much what you might expect, and hope for, from a club in a rebuilding phase. Expect - to lose to a much more accomplished squad, which is going exceptionally well this year and has had time to gel. Expect - to be short of class and guile when a short squad is badly hit by injuries. Hope for - when the young players that have to play in too large numbers all acquit themselves well, put up a sterling if at times naive performance, and generally do us all proud.

The fact that the team was warmly applauded from the field says it all, really, most true fans know where we are at, and will tell the team straight how they thought it did. Yesterday it did great, and showed some real promise for years to come. A fine effort, and everyone's heart was back in it.

Okay, well that clears that one up for me.

Wardle then??

Excellent performance, all the senior players stood up, the kids all performed well. Reception for the team from the stand after the game was awesome, all we want is for the team to put the effort, play some youngsters and lookto next season. This reminds me a bit of Leeds when Powell was coach and he had threw ine Burrow, Mcquire, sinefield etc because injuries. Look where they are know.
Just one point to finish off with, 4 of our last 5 loses have come to Leeds, Warrington x 2 and Huddersfield whilst having lots of key players out. If that list had included Salford, Cas,Catalans etc then we would have problems.
Much happier this morning, cann't wait until next week. COYB

Ever warrency played 'ok'

Ben Hellewell ready for a run with the 1sts yet?

Or Andy Smith?....Halley needs to learn to keep his gob shut.

However misguided Halley may have been in berating the touchjudge, let's face it he had nothing to berate him for, I thought it was a positive sign to see some passion from a player in the light of the disinterested shambles that went a week before it, and has all too often gripped the team in the last couple of years.

Absolutely. Halley has his flaws but one thing he does seem to have is some passion for the Bulls. I'm a lot more forgiving of mistakes from people like Halley/Sykes because you can see the effort and commitment is there.

Agree only partially, getting himself 10 minutes in the bin won't help the Team! Discipline is important especially when we aren't playing well. What we really want is somebody who will get us penalties, Sculthorpe can do hat but also will give them away.

One incident not being mentioned is the Wire 1st try when Menzies was obstructed. It was interesting call by Bentham, are we now saying you can be obstructed as long if you don't fall over or make an attempt to tackle?

I reckon if Menzies had fallen over or stopped and thrown his hands in the air the try would have been instantly disallowed by the video ref.

I'm not saying it was a good thing to berate the official, and it's not something I hope he's going to start doing every game, like Bully Boxer says I think a player like Halley can be forgiven the odd incident, if he starts doing it all the time it's a different matter.

The way I took something positive from it is that, a week ago in Wrexham, the impression was that a lot of them didn't really give a toss about what was going on, and wouldn't have been bothered enough to get angry about something.
