What a great atmosphere.


I think we dished out our worst 40 followed by our best 40 of the .

A few bumps so s I be looking to rest a few over the next few games

Listening to Powell's post match interview it sounds like Gayle, Atoni and Walmsley are just minor niggles.
Hopefully Griff is just 1 week out but we won't know the extent of Lino's injury for a day or two ??

Totally agree.

Second half Lino stood tall and orchestrated Bulls downfall whilst playing on one leg , his passes were top draw to put players through gaps , hope his ankle isn’t too bad . Walmsley wasn’t comfortable in his short spell on the field and had a full knee strapping on . Great having such power sat on the bench to grind the opposition down which worked perfectly that second period

With Lino not having the ability to jink and jump about everywhere he actually looked better with his pass selection. Perhaps something he can look to continue.

Uele, Max and Magilvey were very good, but I thought Liam Kay was top drawer and got us on the front foot in the second half, not getting the Lino hipe I’m afraid, but a great win from a very nervey first half where Bradford were the better side

IMO His pass selection was excellent, nearly all our tries bar 2 came down the middle area, off excellently timed flat passes off Lino, the Rodwell try, Ashurst x 2, and Atoni's. He ran at their defensive line which then created that doubt and he'd set up one of our middles/Ashust with a nice pass to run onto and score. I can't grumble with his game management and 4 try assists. His kicking was generally excellent as well. It was just a well-thought-out and managed game from him, without any real errors or penalties that come to mind.

I also thought that Rodwell and Ashurst were excellent as well, Doyle as well seemed to make things happen when he came on. You could take your pick from several players today after that awesome 2nd half-performance.

Impeccable pre match 1 minutes silence from both sets of fans.

That’s was imho Linos best game in the last 18 month. Nothing flash just did his job and created for others. I can’t complain because it’s what I’ve been demanding for ages.

Re: Bradford next. : Mon May 13, 2024 7:47 am  

I'd imagine we might have a rotate a few in the coming weeks with the knocks we've picked up, Gale sounds like he's going to be out for a few weeks and lino could be too...

Lino was man of match, guess you just got it in for him To me when Gale on pitch every thing as got to go through him so.Lino gets pushed out ,looks like Lino out next week, so will see how we go Kay played ok in second half but Powell said he was in two minds to take him of at half time because it was not working playing him at 6 . Powell said though injured Lino ran the game on both sides of the pitch .Hood brought nothing to the attack and every pass he through out was a hospital pass Great pack performance again .But we have problems as a go forward team at 6 and 9 and we got to get some speed in these positions of we will struggle in S L
