Two awful performances at Knowsley Road tonight. Saints were as awful as it's really possible to be and Bradford were also shocking but had more desire and commitment. The defense from both sides was very weak.

I think everyone knew they had one of the best packs in the league. I stated so in my season preview. Where I said they would be let down was in the backs as the quality they have there is relative to reserve grade. They are 1 of the few Ihave got right so far



I think both Leeds and Saints though have gone into the game expecting to win and it has blown up in our faces. TBF to the Bulls though it's the best they have played all season tonight. Sam Burgess is imense.

appluding a pro who puts his body on the line to entertain you and i getting a very bad injury was the most awful thing to happen tonight.

Your club has the wrost morals in Rugby League accross the whole border.

truely disgusting from you crowd tonight!

Bar that 8 minutes before half time you did look utterly clueless. My wife actually noticed it and frankly she jsut sits reading a book while I watch matches. She doesn't even know what direction you pass in and only knows teams as blue or red and white . The Sky team had obviously rehed all their "lines" and were stumped as well. Bradford stuck at it but still had the same look that Warrington have whenever they play Saints - "it's only a matter of time before we lose".

I would swap the Bradford pack for Leeds in a breath. Sam Burgess was immense as was Lynch and even though it hurts Scruton was also damn good.

Then you have Leeds getting beasted by Quins and Salford, and lets not mention Saints and Manly who really mullered us.

In all fairness the performances V Salford and the Harlequins are the more worrying.

Catalans next week too, big big pack there

Plus they have morrison to bring back, leeds have the kid from salford academy.

Good side, I expect Leeds to get the win by plenty, the French wont travel well.

I look forward to evidence i have cheered a player getting injured.

TIA

Not so much jeering an injured player but vile jeering nonetheless

Warrington away - Clinton Toopi. Pre-game.

YVW.

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

oh and

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Ironic Cheers to a player catching the ball in a warm up is so similar to a player dislocating his shoulder

oh wait

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I agree, our pack is one of -if not the- best in the league. But, yes our backs are appalling Barring Nero, Tadulala and Halley. Kopzcak and Cook have both really come on, giving us good cover, James is doing well at Fax aswell. As long as we don't lose many after this season then we will be able to recruit in the backs and leave the forwards as they are.

If I could chose both sides best in a 17 i'd probably go:

Webb
Tadulala
Nero
Smith
Donald
McGuire
Burrow
Lynch
Newton
Burgess
JJB
Menzies
Sinfield

Peacock
Morrison
Leuluai
Scruton

Others that would be close: Langley, Cook, Worrincy, Kopzcak, L Burgess, Lautiti, Buderus.

Obviously I'm probably a bit biased about the close ones, but ya know. That would be a blinding team on all accounts.

buderus is twice the player newton is mate.
newtons finished

only thing is is that morrison is old, beaver is really old and will be gone, solamona is getting on a bit for a big lad. your gonna have to get at least 3 $hit hot backs for the start of next season if your gonna get the best out of ya pack!!

very unrealistic imo

still worst bulls team ive ever seen!

agreed

Same could be said for Buderus. Were you watching fridays game?

which one?
buderus was class,the rest of us were poor.
thats newtons first good game of the season.he's finished at the top level

I expect Sol to be gone at the end of this season, which will free up a lot of cap, Menzies will re-sign for another year (mark my words), same with Morro - both still going strong. I expect a half-back and a centre in the off-season.

senior, buderus, donald and ali would walk into that team so would solamona. forget cook, worrincy, kopzack. kirke, ablett, burgess and bailey are much better for mine and have proved it in the big games
