Difference in coaches last night ,one can fire a team up for big games the other can’t . At this rate looks like we”ll be going out of the cup with all but a whimper yet again.

Any cup win against a kear-driven Bradford is a good win. They dumped us (Leeds) out last year with a fair bit to spare.

I don't see a big problem toughing out a game against a more enthusiastic side and still winning.
Staying in the game and weathering that storm is an important skill to have.

There are things we need to improve and personally, assuming he isn't needed at fullback, I'd play Max at scrum half again until Brough proves he's ready.
If Brough is as driven as he used to be he should be pulling up trees after being dropped for a make shift.

Clearwing after that Leeds did something about it,you now look like a good side We just see the same slow rugby every week .We were very lucky last night .

It was a cup tie and to only thing that really matters is making it into the next round, which we did, just.
What really disappoints is that, once again, our heads weren't right.
Every so called easy game and we aren't there and it's not good enough - we are supposed to be a professional side.

It says something when 2 of our 3 tries came from wing/ centre play and our halves just weren't doing it.

Lilley, a Leeds "reject" was head and shoulders above either of our halves in everything that he did, passing, kicking, organising and controlling their attack.
Chester and his team must be able to see the same thing but, thus far, have been unable or unwilling to do anything about it.

It's easy to look for scapegoats after a poor performance but, there IS a huge problem in our halves. Hopefully the coaching staff have recognise this and will eventually do something about it.

Keeping Tupou and Johnstone together is crucial. Lyne and Atkins can then fanny around at their own cost.

Was it not Lyne and Tupou who crafted the try on the right hand side, that got us over the line.
Atkins is a really strong running centre but, so far, his link up play hasn't been great.

In a way he seems a bit like Brough and wants to do it all and take the glory, instead of sometimes what may be best for the team.
Obviously he got a couple of meat pies at Salford but, we have to play as a team.

Having said that, if there isn't much being created, you want your senior players to take some responsibility and I guess that e's done that.

Just like against Hull when BT switched and set up TJ twice.
IMO backs line up should be TJ BT RL LK, and the reserves for RA

At the end of the day we were outplayed and out enthused but we are in the next round and that really is all that matters if we can be this lucky all the way to wembley so be it

Sadly, I don't think that is "all that matters"' The fans go to, hopefully, be entertained. Ninety percent of the entertainment last night came from the opposition.... yet again!!

Agree. Bulls the better team and played some attractive rugby. At least CC had the decency to admit the best team lost!

Exactly like that.

Looking at the Lyne youtube highlights via twiiter link I just wonder where has that guy gone. Some awesome tries. The bulldozing of Shaul is one moment I never forget.
How good was it to see Bill Tupou running hard in straight lines last night too.
