| There was a lot of laying on - two sides attempting the Wigan style wrestle but lacking the requisite skills are always going to get penalised a lot. There's an art to this particular spoiling tactic that neither us or the Dulls have mastered.
I hope that his intolerance for it today is an indication that the refs have been told to get on top of it in the coming season.

We can hope but I bet we all know what will actually happen.

AaronBull - you will just make the top 8. are you really that much better than last couple of years???
lol, not a clue!
Watching Wakey reminded me of watching Bulls in the friendlies over the last couple of years, that sinking feeling that you know it's going to be a long season.
All the best for 2011.

I am a fan of Vievers so far but thought Matty was very good in defence today, not normally his biggest fan

| As one of the few Trinity fans there today, i could not fault the effort. We scrambled and worked hard in the first half, second half was always going to be hard. Score imo slightly flattered us, i got the impression Bradford had a lot more in the tank. It is a bit unfair to pick anybody out today for special comment. Far too cold for that, supposed to be a summer game. I literally couldn't walk back to the car, feet were frozen. I only warmed up when a couple of Bulls fans were taunting us after the game. The Bulls fans at h/t were sympathetic to our cause, but thought we deserved to lose out on a franchise. Very poor attendance, very quiet as well.

Is that your honest opinion.
Worrincy Reardon and Sheriffe Out - that would be a positive without any replacements. Sibbit in as backup in Worrincy's place - if you watched the game today you'll notice he's alot more valuable to the team than Worrincy. Raynor, Ainscough & Ah Van in to compete for those wing spots - and you may have noticed today, Ah Van isn't too shabby, Aincough is young & improving and Raynor has something to prove and is putting in 100% every game.
Glenn Hall, Sculthorpe out - Bryn Hargreaves in their place along with Kopzcak, Crossley & Burgess a year further developed with the last 2 competing to get time now. Hall was shocking last season & Sculthorpe didn't play, so Bryn Hargreaves who was one of the most consistent forwards in the league last year is a good replacement.
Menzies out - Everyone was sad to see him go, but he's 38 & we have a good replacement in Elima.
Nero out - we were weak in the centres last season, so we have brought Walker in to compete with Platt, Sykes & Ah Van for a spot. Improvement on last season.
Godwin out, Diskin in. Anyone going to say that isn't a good change?
Orford out - he played 12 games, got injured, didn't honour his contract. Okay when on the pitch he was excellent, but there's no point having a quality player sat out every week. We have Herbert who looks okay, obviously not in the same class but will do a job and has lots of improvement in him (Southernwood's coming on nicely too)
Briggs in - finally a genuine stand -off. This kid has lots to prove, and early signs suggest he will do so. No more playing Sykes at stand-off. This is obviously an improvement.
Royston brought in as cover too - we had one of the thinnest squads in SL last year and we needed extra back up.

| OH ok sorry - i have changed my mind..... I think Bradford will be top 4.. do me a favour.
Walker, Raynor and Sibbitt are all pretty much last chance saloon as far as I am concerned ... in my opinion.
When I said I that I thought youd be 8th this was on the balance I think there are 7 stronger starting 13s, 17s and squad in SL than you with big game players.. match winners... not because you have just beated us in a friendly.
Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Wire, Hudds, Hull KR IMO area head of Bradford. Hull FC are there or there abouts

Currently Cas are -6 for the MM game (was -4 this morning).
Sorry but that is a no-brainer of a bet. I would suggest Cas by 18 plus would be nearer the mark.'"
Ill have a bit of that too, ffs its a derby game and even with your troubles , i dont think your lot will roll over for Cas.
Chin up ......... you could be loiners

I think that is fair enough.
I think KR have a better 13 than us, but imo we have a bit more depth and if injuries come we have a chance of top 6.
I know we're not world beaters, but I also know we are a hell of alot stronger than last year. (You have to remember the biggest change of all too, getting rid of a useless clown and replacing him with Mick Potter)

| Ben Gledhill got the all clear following surgery and back in full contact training today. Should be back in the reckoning in two to three weeks. We have another prop back in the mix.

That's good news - his attitude and aggression couldn't be faulted last season; hopefully he's bulked up a bit and will be able to withstand the knocks a bit better this time around.
Cracking lad with a great future.
