looks like cudjoe to full back then

still seen as the second choice behind grix

no place in the squad for mcnally...another hemingway ...although thats probably an insult to hemingway at least he got to play super league in more difficult circumstances!

i'm suprised at mcnally not been given a run considerin he made his name ripping defences up at this level!

Would have been nice to see him get some game time

Would play a very strong team and hopefully we can work on our attack and post a very good score, main thing is to ensure we are in the next round and don't take Batley lightly.

What was the team

What went wrong

What was sending off for

I took a week off to watch Bradford struggle vs Halifax

A lot of people paid no money to watch that garbage today....

and we made no money out of it , but I hope we gained a bit of respect

You'll have made. Not as much as you should have, but we ate and supped enough!

Batley were great, we were woeful. The sending off was harsh but IMO not a game breaker. In the last 15 when we actually realised we might lose we ran a bit harder. I'm not sure what they think they've achieved to fall in love with themselves and/or disrespect the opposition like that but they stood off, they didn't run their weight. Half 4rsed. Half baked. Half asleep.

just seen halifax game and barlows high shot in 1st min was worse than batley lad but only a pen given, if we play like this against saints we will be in big trouble

Oh everyone please get a grip FFS.

Let's see some positives. It was bad enough at the game with all the whinging.

1 Batley played very well.
2 LOD played very well
3 We got away with making many changes and still won
4 It was a win
5 It was a win

I saw Bramley draw 24-24 with Wigan in the CC in 1984 and it would have been a win to Bramley had a guy called Shaun Kilner not miss a last minute drop goal by inches - they went on to Wembley.

Giants were down and out against Cas two years ago and playing terribly - they went on to Wembley.

It's a big game v a weakened Sts next week. i'd rather everyone keep their best performances for that when a full strength team will be out.

It's been years since I've been to Batley and I forgot how steep the pitch is. Batley used it well and came out of the blocks in Defence. Giants Didn't. But at the end of the day no-one cares if you win by one or one hundred and one in the cup.

We won't play like that against Sts

How can you be so sure? We haven't played well since Rhinos game imo.

Unfortunately form is not like a tap you can turn on and off as you feel like it.
