I dunno, they proably did put some pressure on him, but he doesn't make it easier on himself. He kicks to close to the line, should give himself a few extra yards because he's been caught out on a number of occasions already this season, either getting charged down or offloading to someone like Whitehead or Bateman to put in a kick in hope.

As many have said Danny Brough was the difference. His kicking game couldn't have been better today IMO. His kick for Magilvary's try was absolutely fantastic.

Decent effort from the boys, however i thought our marker defence was very sloppy. Particularly when Brough was playing at hooker for them in yardage, and he was still getting the kicks away at the end of the sets. We were defending hard and keeping them in their own half, only for laziness to creep in on the last tackle.

I thought we played well and have no complaints at all. The biggest difference for me was that Hudds had their first choice halves on the field, whilst we, well didn't, and it it showed. I thought Hudds deserved to win as they always looked much more likely to break the line and were more composed in their handling and kicking. We defended like heroes though and the Giants will know they've been in a game.

The Odsal pitch was the worst I've seen it for over thirty years; I've seen more surface water over more recent times but not the way it churned up this afternoon. What with the grey shirts worn by Shuddersfield and our grey shirts (after 20 mins) I could hardly tell the teams apart for most of the game

Best Team won today. Class at the halves the difference. Effort was good. We are still heading in the right direction

what have we EVER won ??? think you may need to read a bit of Rugby League history before you drag that one out

Gledhill has tweeted that Alibert messed up the tackle count again in today's match

Actually Wadski, if we are being totally precise, you can only count the last 5 of those and one of the third.

The current club company is actually the old Sheffield Eagles club. The earlier ones were won by a different entity, same as all Bradfords' ones pre 1963 were...and it may well yet be that all ours post 2012 will be...

On another point....

Anyone else think that John Bateman is exceptional when it comes to taking kick-offs?
