Wouldn't disagree, in addition make him complete a tackle every set we have the ball, tire him out

You show me somebody who enjoyed those home games against York, Dewbsury and Barrow and I'll show you a liar.

I'm not expecting top 5 and I'm not wanting harlem globetrotters, but we can't even do the basics!
I refuse to believe that these players are unable to offload the ball, or draw a man before they pass, or run some attacking lines, or vary their kick selection a little.

Yeah, Crossley and Peltier need to be picking him out and running straight at him at every opportunity

If you manage to do that then you manage to do something that most teams in this division struggle with. Hes a quality player but the way to stop Murrell playing well is to stop our pack playing well, just like any halfback, and on Saturday the Bulls didn't do that.

It would be a strange game plan to have your props running out towards the wing.

Joking aside the way to tire him out would be to get him isolated against quick players, running big players at him he is just going to love, he is one of the best and biggest hitters at this level but is short of pace and despite the portly shape is not short of fitness.

I think maybe you're exaggerating a bit. I agree we were poor in attack in those games you mentioned.

However, we showed in the games versus Fax (away), the comeback versus Fev and the win against Leeds we can offload, draw a man and run a line. The kicking wasn't that bad either.

I think it's a matter of being consistent and improving. It's a young side. If we're still as bad by the end of the season I'll be more concerned but as it looks we're staying up and consolidating and I'm happy with that for the moment.

You missed Toulouse at home, hopefully the low point of the season - a cold, wet and miserable day.

Nobody was going to play champagne rugby on a day like that.

Absolutely correct.

For whatever reason the Bulls were never really at the races last Saturday and the best team won, as is usually the case. We all have ups and downs through a season though, so the last game has little or no bearing on the next, bring it on.

We lost to a team playing very well, to late breakaway try after a whole load of pressure on their line. We couldn't score a winner and sure we weren't at our best, but how is that never being at the races?

Indeed. We went set for set in the second half. They just had a more composed end to theirs and a bit more energy. There's hardly anything between the two sides.

Perhaps it's slightly unfair as we actually defended well (as is the norm, this season) but without any discernible plan to 'crack' the Fax defence, it always looked unlikely. If we'd only tried some off-loads or even had runners when we made breaks it may well have been a different story. But we didn't, and we rarely got decent field position late on because of it, then once Fax went ahead at the back end a win never really looked likely, much as they tried hard.

Not at the races, too many individuals a bit jaded, game plan perhaps not the best - call it what you will.
