May i just remind people that Keith tried comparing rugby league to buying a bottle of salad cream.

I'm sure today's game was more akin to Costcutters own brand of salad cream.

We'll have to wait a while for the Heinz Big Soup variety. It's still the regular season.

Couldn't make it to the game as I was working.

What's the Rating between 1 - 10 Per Player?

in the first half only burrow and ablett stood out. as we got more points confidence returned and we scored some cracking trys

The first 10 minutes we couldn't hold on to the ball to save our lives.

Burrow makes a huge difference and Ablett was immense.

Ryan Hall looked in need of a rest today, didn't he Gotcha? Guffaw.

Deardful 1st 20 mins, dreadful 1st ten mins of the 2nd half. Otherwise, just what the doctor ordered against dreadful opposition. Singleton looked willing in his cameo.

like the whole game at bradford

singleton was very impressive. would like to see more of him. hardaker looks quality with ball in hand running, just needs to sort his right to left pass and he will be a diamond.
BJB looked great, not sure who said he needed a rest.
it was worth the cold and wet just to see webbs supurb out the back pass near the end

You really are the most predictable, boring, repetative, trolling keyboard warrior on this forum. Hopefully we will string a winning run together now and you will vanish. As is normally the case.

Was pleased to see 2 or 3 tries off the back of kicks. Not something we do an awful lot. Hall really is dangerous under the cross field kick.

Smith looked better as the game went on- gaps were opening up for him down our left edge in the second half.

Good effort from Bailey to do 80 mins. Same goes for Delaney who grafted as usual.

Singleton was willing when he came on- looked like he really wanted to make his mark after coming on.

The team as a whole did well today given Mac's crazy selections. Ablett was awsome makes you wonder what his best position is. Has Smudger ever played 7 before? thought he did ok especially 2nd half.
As a whole the pack went well after the early bout of dropsies and dominated later in the game giving the backs the freedom to score some brilliant tries.
How good was Webbs pass for Zac's 2nd worth the entry money alone.

On a side note we were sat talking to a few london fans in the oak before the game, I was amazed by their passion and commitment, and also their knowledge of the game. Some people in these parts should take note ehh Mr Swiftcorn!!

I thought Singleton performed admirably for his début.

Ryan Bailey to play 13 for England

Agree re Webb's pass worth the attendance money simply brilliant as was Ryan Hall his catching above his head was stunning today - felt a bit sorry for O'Callaghan tough day at the office

it was singo's second appearance

He got a game last year didn't he?

Also think Burrow looked dangerous from DH because we got some quick PTBs from the forwards.

Having Bailey at LF isn't all that odd considering how LFs are being used more like a third prop. Admittedly it's not ideal but not as odd as I first thought it was when I saw the team.

I wasn't going to mention it but as others already have:

Singleton's 1st grade debut was on the 11th March 2011 in the comfortable home win V Salford.

I thought Lee Smith had his best game in a rhinos shirt for some time

crap opposition etc, etc, but still, looked sharper and more involved, a bit more like the pre-union Smith

I thought our defence was very good for the most part. London may not be the best opposition but our poor ball control ensured we had plenty of defending to do in our own 20 and we looked solid.
Singleton looked a willing runner and it would good to see him get another chance. Peacock played a long spell and that may have been due to Griffin getting injured early on but it would have been nice if Singleton had played a longer spell. I thought Smith did ok considering he was playing out of position, especially in the 2nd half. Ablett was excellent and there cannot be many sides who have a better 3rd choice/backup centre.

A green stripe on my fixture list, optimistic comments on here (apart from good old Keith) I hope Bradford was this seasons version of Catalan last year and that we have bottomed out and are on the way back up

Memory like a goldfish me - although I have absolutely no recollection of Singleton playing first grade before today.

IIRC he didn't get a great deal of game-time on his debut either.

That was me mate but to put it into context i thought Chisolm deserved a chance for his cracking form in the u20's and that if any of Hall or Bjb were to drop out then i said it should be Bjb after seeing the team struggle for the last 3 matches.
I'll also add Smithy put Hall and Bjb in for tries in the 1st half so was more involved than he's got credit for in that time imo.

Maybe because he looks completely different, he must have grown 2 inches in height, and is starting to fill out nicely..i thought he looked way too small on his debut, but have definately revised that opinion.
