Great performance from the Bulls today. Clinical and very disciplined against a testing Cougars outfit. We obviously learnt our lesson from the friendly a few weeks ago and didn't get sucked into the grubby tactics. I always thought that if we made sure we kept our composure when Keighley started to rough us up we'd kill them off later in the game. Their tactics were to draw us into a scrap, we ignored their attempts and ran out comfortable winners. Job well done. Another good defensive showing as well which is also tremendous to see!
I thought Minchella, Pickersgill, Flanagan and Keyes played exceptionally well. Flanagan looked very dangerous and caused a lot of damage during his spell on the pitch. He looks like a great addition to the squad and was my MOTM, closely followed by Keyes.
Chisholm looks a bit rusty but that's to be expected after his lengthy lay off. When the dry weather arrives I expect he'll run the show and really kick on. My heart sank for a second when he went down in the second half as his knee appeared to buckle in the mud. Thank the lord he's OK.
Overall, a solid performance from 1-17. Bring on Hunslet in the cup next week.
Finally, a special mention goes to Ross Peltier, the pantomime villain: https://twitter.com/Cougarmania/status/ ... 3613831173

| Agreed dddooommm.
I thought we were exceptional today and looked very well coached. We appear to be getting rid of our soft underbelly that has hampered us for years. Don't think we're going to be bullied by anyone like we were last year. Flanagan certainly gave some verbals. Thought he went very well.
Keyes was my man of the match. Great to see him taking the line on. Chisholm looked rusty but to be expected m again great to see him standing up for honself after been taken out late off the ball.
The team look to have real pride in the shirt. You can be the most talented player in world, but sometimes it's just about digging deep for the club. I think we have this in adundance this year with the main of the Squad either HG, or Bradford fans/boys.
Last point, last year in a crucial game against Swinton, Johnny Campbell was harshly (IMO) red carded for going above the horizontal. That decision all but confirmed us for relelgation. Today, Minchella suffered a shocking spear tackle, and the Keighley player only got a yellow. It was a lot worse the Campbells red. Referees get some unfair criticism, but on spear tackles they should be consistent and it's frustrating as a fan it can depend on what mood the referee is in.

| Yes well coached I agree. The spear was a red. Wasn't malicious I don't think but regardless. Otherwise old Billy Pearce didn't have a bad one. Wasn't a particularly bad tempered game considering, think we didn't really show up which is a bit gutting. But certainly a well deserved thrashing, definitely more up for it than us.

Initially I thought it was a bad spear tackle that could have warranted a red card. I'd like to see a replay of it to see if the it was as bad as it looked from the stands. Fortunately Elliot was straight back to his feet and avoided any potential injury, which is the most important aspect.
Perhaps the RFL will be taking a better look at it this week?

| It looked a bad tackle but I’m glad now in hindsight that he wasn’t shown the red card as it would have taken the gloss off what was a great team performance.
I expected a much closer contest if I’m honest, I suspect there will be some very unhappy Cougar fans this evening.

| When Elliot got spear tackled my first thought as a dad was hope he is ok, he then got up and walked away which was very pleasing. He dropped me off at the pub before the game and my last words were "do not get sent off", which he didn't, which was nice

Ha, probably. My first words in the morning at 7.00 o clock will be "are you awake" he works at same place I work. To which I will probably get" I'm aching all over" to which I reply, tough, get out of bed and get to work

| The tackle was a bad one, I think the only reason he didn't get a red was because of how early in the game it was. I know that shouldn't be a factor in the ref's decision but it probably was.
Hard to tell from the proper sport stream but I think Pickersgill came off for Chisholm just before half time and then came back on in place of McNally towards the end of the game.
Keyes, Flanagan and Garside were all excellent today I thought. Bustin also proved a handful.

Chisholm came on for Pickersgill. Then later in the match. McNally came off and Pickersgill came off the bench to fullback.

Hopefully the Bulls TV version of the match is far better than the quality offered by Proper Sports that had poor video and audio ( although saying that there were some decent silent bits ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif) )
