| While I appreciate Bradford are not of Leeds quality, they are no mugs either...and I thought we completely dominated them for 80mins today.
Every player improved this week, and the whole team played with an aggression and determination we haven't seen for a long-time.
Horne had a blinder and deserved his MOM, but there was several others in MOM contention.
O'Meley looks loads fitter and was a wrecking ball in the first-half, Heremaia injected pace and creativity when he was on, McDonnell was solid under the high ball in very windy and freezing conditions and offered great support play. Chris Green gets better each week and looks like he's been in the team for years. Holdsworth's kicking wasn't completely perfect but it was loads better than the kicking game we've had in recent years. Defence all round was fantastic, and we tackled with much more aggression.
the challenge now of course is to deliver that kind of performance every week.

| Can't forget Briscoes world class tackle again over the line. No other winger in the league could pull them sort of tackles off that he does.

He's class at one on one tackles, but the difference is that in other years we'd have got the game almost won, and then let our standards slip, such as half-heartedly running for that tackle. Instead Briscoe was running like his life depended on it!

Getting better with every performance. He's even showing a bit of "mongrel" now which I wondered if he had.

We said the same, he is going to be a handful and give us some entertaining moments.

| I thought I was watching Warrington vs Bradford today in the first 15. Throwing the ball about like the Harlem globetrotters.

| Big game for us today and we responded. I questioned PG's team selection before the game but he got it spot on. The whole team played well, stand outs for me were Horne, Holdsworth, McDonnell, O'meley and Green. I'm worried about Galea though he looks finished, we need him at the moment but i hope he doesn't take Whitings or Greens sport when Tickle and Ellis are fit.

I was confused why Galea played for 80mins again, but someone suggested that might be an attempt to get him fitter. When Tickle is fit I'd drop him to the bench, and when Ellis is back he'll revert to being a squad player.

| Satisfied with the display today - very solid and dominant.
There's plenty of room for improvement of course and we face much tougher tests over the next fortnight but we can go to Saints with optimism.
Great display from Horne, McDonnell was safe and Green continues to look a real prospect.

I got to agree with you there , I thought Green's first stint was very good . O'Donnell looked good and Horne was superb.

| It was undoubtedly an improvement, but there's more improving to be done. We made a lot of errors and lacked the composure to finish off a few really promising moves. Defence was excellent, and the attack looked streets ahead of last week's showing.
If we can make another step up for next week, I see no reason why we can't pick up a rare away win at Saints.

| Mcdonnell looked a class act especially going forward and horney also something like old self. Also Ogre had a better game and brought some aggression from the start. Chris Green got through a ton of work in his 1st period

| Defended well but TBH bradford were absolutely cack and made it easy for us. SOme excellent attacking play and thought we would score every time we got into their 20 metre area (Something I've waited a long time to say about us), however we over elaborated at times and also got bogged down with one out rugby against a bigger pack on occassion. Need to improve ball retention and play the percentages more and we look a good side
