Half time. 24 0. bit of a scuffle on the hooter. Its getting a bit niggly.

Platt looking useful on wing. Sidlow looking strong. Foster, mistake at kickoff apart, having a good game at FB.

He looks quite exciting foster. Good hair too.

Whitehead's brilliant assist sends Blythe clear and Foster's fifth conversion makes it 30-0 to Bradford.

Adam Sidlow's neat short offload puts Matt Diskin over. Too easy this. Foster 6/6 to make it 36-0 to the Bulls.

Wood and Naughton also on now.

Manuokafoa has just scored straight after coming on following a bulldozing run. Foster 7/7 It's now 42-0

Dario Esposito barges over from close range and Spaven converts to give some Dewsbury a little consolation. 6-42 with 5 mins left.

Whitehead grabs a 4th try and the extras are added.....Final Score 48-6.

And it's freezing!

thanks BB11 et al for that. Question: how was the 3 prop situation dealt with - did Langley do a shift? question 2: was Scruts back to full-on fitness?

No Langley today. I don't know why.

I wasn't there but according to people that were Scruton looked a lot better, couple of games yet before he gets full Match Fitness. Manuokafoa and Sidlow were the other props. Walker at 13.

Scruton had a decent game. Probably the best prop on the field for me today.

Thought Whitehead was MOM, even though the sponsors gave it to Foster, ran some good lines, his pass behind the back to Blythe was class.

Apart from the kickoff penalty Dewsbury weren't anywhere near our 20m for almost all the game, really struggled to make ground, overall thought it was a good, solid hit out, hopefully more of the same next week.

Walked past Langley as I was walking back to my car, didn't bother to stop to ask if he was injured/playing next week as my feet needed warming up in the car.

Walker played a fair few minutes at prop and looked quite handy.

I was speaking to my mate that plays for Dewsbury in the bar afterwards and he said that we're speaking to Dewsbury about Tom Lillycrop returning to the club.
