for us/Leigh. been meaning to buy tickets for the home game, did it when the full time whistle blew. I make that a pre match 80 points difference reduced to 5. bad start, good finish versus a good start bad finish? Workington away the game before the cup, two games to fit in mid week possibly more, the weight of probabilities is starting to weigh on Leigh

Bad day for the Bulls if like me you want to finish 2nd. It will be a race to see who can "throw" most games now to grab that second spot!

Score should have been closer to 90.but Shaw seemed to forget his kicking boots today, since they've changed the fixtures for the 8s it's hard to say which spot you'd like all depends if the. SL teams start leap frogging spots

You'll notice that we missed a strangely large number of kicks today

Why would you want to finish second now?? Finishing 1st we would get two SL teams at home and Leigh.

Finishing second we would still only get two SL teams at home but have to go to Leigh which will be a tough ask.

A good day today as OP said. My only big bear is we kept Gaskell out as long as we did. He was clearly a passenger after our 2nd/3rd try. He couldn't use his left arm all game.

Crossley and Mendieka look like two shrewd signings.

Before change to playoff structure I'd have agreed with you. But the under new system they've sneaked in there's a definite benefit to finishing top

Yeah, if it wasn't for the sly change in play off format, I wouldnt have been too disappointed by today's result. Bulls now definite favourites to finish top.

Plenty of rugby left to play yet I'd say. Perhaps slight favourites as things stand but even if we're still both on equal points when we meet again we still have two tough matches away to Fax and Sheffield either side of our next clash.

Oh and obviously Danny Addy wasn't in on it , kicking a goal from the touchline in the last minute

Anyone notice the altercation between Walker and Clough late in the second half? Walker was trying to bring him off but Clough wasn’t interested. It resulted in them in each others faces on the touchline and Walker giving Clough a right earful.

I imagine being subbed is never pleasant but seemed a bit of a testosterone overload going on.

Has Clough scored a try yet this season? He probably saw it as his best chance to avoid the nudey run

I missed the last try because I was watching that. Rhino had to separate them. They were still discussing things after the final whistle. It should be all sorted by now because Chev as the trainer is just carrying on the message from the coach.
