Lawford in the reserves so doesn't look there's gonna be much change and hoping the players sort it themselves...

Also Myers playing today, so if he's not playing 2 games in 2 days then who plays centre? Not Butler I hope.

Miles may as well get him self off.

If he cant get get a game with the way things are at the minute then hes never going to get a chance. Lilley and Patten both absoute f***ing stealing a wage.

Walker
Blackmore
Butler

Not sure about Butler in the centres or Jowiit over Lawford in the halves. But hopefully the lads go out and get the 2 points. That’s all that matters today.

Don't get that Line up. Jowitts played FB, wing, Hooker this year and now in specialist position of HB when we've got specialist HB in Lawford doing well in reserves.

Butler at centre doesn't strike me as confident either.

Would have preferred Jowitt having a run at centre and Lawford at HB.

Great start. Let's kick on now and rack up some points to address our abysmal points difference (which could be crucial)

Don't let them back in it and it be 34-32 game.

26-8 at half time. Just about a fair score, although the Swinton try was a breakaway intercept. We really look like a totally different team (again). Yes, I know its "only" Swinton, but the Bulls look energised, enthused, hard tackling, strong running and a really enjoyable game (so far). Even Patton is on one of his good days. Billy Jowett has injected pace into the attacks, and he's also had a cracking game in defence.

‘Only’ Swinton beat Toulouse last week.

Yup, any team can beat any other in this year's championship. But Swinton's 3 wins from 10 matches says they're not exactly tearing up the division.

Bulls 26 only Swinton 26

Saw it coming...

Sounds like defences were in top form today.

So frustrating. Points difference killing us at the moment. Can't remember the last time we kicked on and put a team to the sword.

Wow. Just watched Bradford press the self destruct button again, but they were saved by the full time hooter. Any longer, we'd have capitulated once again.
After watching the Bulls for almost 30 years, I've never seen such a game swing as much from one team to the other. It's almost like they're thinking the game's won (several times), and then let the opposition back in. Great excitement for the neutral, but hellish frustrating for the Bulls fans.
Loads of work needed by Lee and Nobby to get to the bottom of the problem, but the team looked much more enthusiastic today, with plenty of decent performances from Jowitt, Scurr, England, Appo, Fenton Rodgers, and the odd bit of sparkle from Patton. Onwards and (hopefully) upwards with this team, now

I thought we were bloody awful at times today. Some attitudes in the side are really poor. Bad discipline, give up under adversity and swan around like world beaters. The beginning and end of the second half was as bad as it gets.

That new culture Mark Dunning spoke about is only skin deep. Put this team under pressure and they fall apart.

Exceptions in the cases of Scurr, Mason, Appo and Lilley.
