Yes, but I guessed you knew that anyway.

Well it’s all about viewpoint but I think we would. The Fifita try was until I see it again dodgy. Even then we were hanging on, with a motivator like Kear and a better championship team in Bradford I honestly can’t share your confidence.

I accept a win is a win but that one flattered us but then good sides ride out those games and we did.

Our name on the cup? If so it’s about time hopefully we have the stinker out of the way.

One thing we can all agree it was a bore fest for 75 minutes

Printer is unusually quiet

Lol

I would say that Widnes - in [imy[/i opinion are a better team than Bradford....
Also, the thing you maybe forgetting is that we are a much better team than Leeds.

Widnes are a better side than Bradford, without their points deduction, Widnes would be in third and Bradford would be in seventh. At no point did we look to be hanging on, Widnes simply couldn't break down our defence which is why they only scored one try from a kick which was mismanaged.

Bradford made several errors in the final 15 minutes which a better team would have capitalised on, very much like we did against Widnes.

Go on the CC thread

I meant on the day with a cup King like Kear in charge but fair point.

While we are all talking is it just me or did Widnes look a big team? To say we are supposed to have a huge pack we didn’t seem massively bigger. Just surprised me a little.

They had one guy with legs up to his neck wearing kids shorts!

all the same they wern't the kids Widnes fans were leading us to expect.

That was a typical John Kear cup performance. Everyone playing for each other and playing out of their skins. It was great to watch. Congratulations to Bradford and John Kear. It would be interesting if we had them in the next round - and I don't think it would be a walk over, far from it.

Where Leeds go from here is anyone's guess. It was a performance of championship level at best and not a very good one at that. If they keep playing like that London will be very pleased. Whatever the answer is it isn't Agar (but we could have told them that!

)
