A splendid win that. QLT had his best game since returning, Grix looked as though he'd never been away in fact all the lads looked confident and good. Bradford again got the best of the ref's calls but we overcame that and should go into the semi-final full of confidence. Well done lads. Up The Fax!
Dulls first "try" should not have been given as winger put it down on the sideline in the in goal area. Sharpe`s effort was good. Momentum carried him over and certainly didn`t lose the ball. Minimum 8 points difference there and who would bet against a touchline conversion.
Have the commentators been told not to criticise the Officials? Where was Stevo when you needed him.
Without wanting to take the gloss off a great performance, we should consider that teams often suffer a "hangover" after such a performance in the cup the week before. The Bulls that we play at Odsal in the cup will be a different beast.

I still don't think we played anywhere near our potential so Im not really worried that we just scraped a win against a Bradford team that had just beaten Leeds. Any team that can make Jordan Lilley look like a world beater has massive problems and after watching Chisolm play for Fev I thought a player like that could have made the difference for Bradford. Still it looks like Bradords 2nd try should not have been given and Sharps try should have so the margin ended up closer than it probably should be but it sets up the next game nicely. The change in the team is noticable since Marshall went so I wonder what the thoughts of the doubters are at this point.

A few of the players in after match interviews hinted at a difficult past few weeks and things getting better now. They seem to be playing with more enjoyment and commitment now. I wonder what went on?
Personally i just think we should just look forwards to this new chapter and dont knock the last bloke . For me RM was a decent man who in the adversity of the clubs financial position had a positive effect and lasting legacy leaving loads of green shoots for the club and someone else to nurture for the future. I wont knock him and hope he can quickly find new employment.if the truth be known he should have moved on probably a year ago on his own volition and on his terms but sometimes you need a push to achieve your aims in life . I hope he doesjust that.
