Yup, remember twice specifically - once when the ball got passed to the front row of the stand he got himself in a right mess, the other one was when he steamed at Richards full tilt and made himself very vulnerable rather than using the touchline, I think Gleeson saved his skin that time. If Peterson is back before Halley goes back (or we get him for longer than a month) it will be interesting to see who the first choice pair are.

halley was tremendous today and made a big impact (obviously). i would love him to stay..noticed that we made alot of kicks towards him ..later in the season when "the eye is in" or broughy is about with more finesse then he could become a BIG player in our team !!

looked good on the telly

Q: Bradford Bulls, what have you done???!?!?!

A: Shot yourselve's in the foot again.

I enjoyed what I saw from Halley today, both his tries were well taken, especially the first one, on the first set of six in the match as well. However, equally as important as scoring great tries for a winger is stopping them being scored and young Dave's defence today was very stubborn.

JK, GET HIM SIGNED!!

How have Bradford shot themselves in the foot? A player on their books is getting SL experience, scoring tries, and having his wages paid for by another club, while Bradford believe they have better wingers to choose from. And if their higher-ranked wingers don't deliver the goods, they get a match-fit, SL try-scoringer winger back. Both clubs benefit from this one, and well done Dave Halley for taking his chance.

Explain Ryan Atkins then???? He was a promising centre for the Bulls, they weren't prepared to give him a chance, we were, therefore they missed out on a really great player. Halley took his chance brilliantly today, if he can keep this up and if Blanchy stays fit, Peterson will stuggle getting back into the team.

See how he goes over next few games before jumping gun but he looks good.

Out of contract at end of season with Bulls so who knows what may happen.

Well if he can give the kind of performances like the one he gave today, his value is gonna be significantly higher.

some players get fed up of being sat on the bench and fed promises week in week out. the kids looking for first team rugby and by what i have seen of him in the past and today, he deserves it.

**EDIT**

BRIAN NOBLE wasn't prepared to give Atkins his chance, McNamara would have done had he been in charge at the time. Atkins wanted to be given a shot over Ben Harris, and Noble said no, hence he left.

SOURCE?? Ryan Atkins!

Yeah your quite right, Noble never seemed to like Ryan for reasons that I wont post but some silly ones.
