look at the balance, IF Pitts is signed we have as usual a preponderance of back rows including Juniors. and Blyth as backup. Lets spread the Juniors around the positions instead of having one third of them as second rows.

Does Bullman have a crash helmet?

He is actually one of the juniors sponsored by Red Amber & Black

oops

Hudds would barely have any young players if they didn't raid our academy..

Ferguson not in the 17,injured again?must be the only reason for him not to be playing.

Hicks at it again!!!

With gaskell off we had no attack at all in the second half .best thing about that game for me i will never see gale at Odsal in a bulls top again

Very flat performance. 1st half was a crap start then we got in front and monopolised possession without really making it pay.



In the end we got well beaten across the park. We lacked intensity and but bullied up front and out wide.



O'Brien had a decent game. Not many other positives.

A game of 2 halves I thought. First half we outplayed them, second half they bossed us.



We responded well after an awful start but ran out of steam in the final 20. Betts quite clearly gave the Vikings a well needed rollocking at halftime and that showed in their second half performance.



Extremely slow ruck speed all day. Bullied up the middle at times. Nas really is a softie who very rarely hits the line with any force. Close game because of Tickle's farcical conversion attempts.



Glad the season is coming to an end, time to focus on the rebuilding job.

I thought we were well in it for 60 minutes - but basically completely ran out of steam



One question I'd like to know the answer to is about our substitutions. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we saw Arundel, and Blythe only came on for the last 15 minutes. So we played for 65 minutes on a sweltering hot afternoon with 15 players. We were clearly getting exposed down Chev Walker's side - yet we had a fresh centre on the bench who is a good defender. Why?



Brad Adams - felt he put in a really decent defensive stint



Thought the guard of honour for Diskin was a nice touch

The game was a good summary of our season.



Appalling starts. It was only Tickle's off- day with the boot that kept us in it,



Inability to make pressure count. Once we belatedly started the match, we were much the better team for the rest of the first half. But we are skilled in making a committed a dwell drilled defence look like a 26 man wall. For a long spell we totally dominated but mostly made scoring seem as difficult as nuclear physics.



Leg up syndrome - you have prime position, and contrive to find a way to gift your opponents the ball plus a bonus free run up the field



Gale used the game as a self contained video of his traits; very effective for 30 minutes, and completely irritating for 40. Having found his range, what the fsck happened in the second half? When we needed someone to steady the ship and control the game, he was nowhere to be seen.



Attack is easy syndrome

As so often, we spend 15 mins on constant attack without scoring; but the very first time the opposition get to our end, we seem mesmerised and at half strength, and the opposition walk in at the very first attempt.



For much of the second 40 it has to be said we looked like a pub team, and the Gaskell injury is no excuse. Not an abject performance, plenty of effort and some good spells and good shifts. But way too much headless chicken stuff and some awful decision making
