Big Nige and Blake Solly will be happy with the afternoons scores.
Finally some vindication for the new structure ?

Just goes to show you can't take any of these games for granted and winning the game is all that matters because you never know what is going to happen, no matter who you are playing...

one game at a time, preparation and game plan. it doesn't matter who we play or when, mr smith will see us through.

Just makes letting it slip against Salford all the more frustrating. We would be in a very good position now had we seen that game out

Ian Watson has gone on sick leave.....

Along with the rest of the team!!

Has Tim Sheens gone back to Oz.
It's a staggering result, especially with the games that have gone before.

Full credit to Bradford for coming back after being crushed by us. Impressive performance indeed.

Home advantage maybe playing a big part? And they (Bulls) have 2 more to come. Things have become very interesting in the "Qualifiers" after this weekends games.

I just can't shake the feeling this is bad news for us

My worry is the last match between Salford and Hull. hull could have nothing to play for meaning Salford get the win they need to go above us

I wouldn't worry about that. We owe them one after our last result against them knocked us out of the super 8 comp. Rovers will be going all out now to be undefeated.

You worry too much, there's a lot of water to go under the proverbial before that.

Stick to worrying about which H.K.R team will show up in a fortnight, that's enough to be going on with.

This whole qualifier process is very straightforward for us. Being in the 4th place we just have to beat all the teams below us to remain in 4th place whereas teams below also have to win every game with teams below them and also beat one or more teams above them to attain 4th place. If they do achieve that then some of the teams above them will also be sucked into the 4v5 contention.

For us to avoid 4v5 we must beat Fax & Sheffield and also one of Widnes or HKR. Given our massive improvement since BS took over and the opposition to be faced I can see us finishing 2nd or 3rd. All Bradford have to do is win three from Widnes and Halifax at home and HKR & Leigh away. All Leigh have to do is beat Sheffield, Bradford, Halifax and Widnes. Widnes look to be due to play 3 very hungry teams.

Well, if you assume Halifax and Sheffield won't win another game, which is not necessarily good logic, and everyone else wins their home games, it would look like this
Hull KR 14
Wakefield 10
Widnes 8
Bradford 8
Salford 8
Leigh 6
Sheffield 2
Halifax 0

So 3rd, 4th and 5th will all be settled on points difference. That's a big deal.
The away win at Leigh was really important for us. We need to follow it up at home against Widnes, Halifax and not do anything stupid at Sheffield and we should be ok. If we beat Hull KR al the better.

I'd love to see us, Hull KR and Bradford as top 3 with Widnes and Salford playing off. That would be a big big game.
