Just got back from Bratfut!

Whats everyones thoughts who attended?

Lomax, Wellens, Pryce, Eastmond, Moore, Roby





Nice to see something we haven't had in a long time... a kicking game out of dummy half

agree called wilkin on here but thought he was good today apart from the pass in the first couple of mins

As I was in west midlands I couldn't go today. I caught the 2nd half on the radio. Sounds like roby and pryce was very good.

Did Moore do enough to keep KC out next week?

for me yes looked like we had more pace today and got the ball out wide more

IMO Yes.

Also Saints will have to get used to The King not being there... could utilise him as an extra Prop?

that's what i'd do! i've been advocating it for a while now, he's strong enough, and the 20 minute stints would suit him too

KC is not and never will be a prop.

why? what part of a props job cant he do? or even excell at??

He's just not a destructive runner anymore. He's more a tactical schemer from dummy half.

He already defends at prop when we have two hookers on at the same time but I don't think he'd be that good at running the ball up, he's never done it in his career and it'd be very alien to him.

It was nice to see some decent attack which was a bit more 'off the cuff' instead of the dull predictable stuff we have seen of late. I still think we are very unfit compared with other teams though.

How bad were Bradford!!! Could not believe how terrible they were. It was quite sad really and should serve as a warning to us of how quickly you can fall!!!

I have to dispute the above. Unfit teams dont travel away from home and keep a team to zil for 79 minutes, while also playing champagne attacking RL.

Must have been watching a different match!! Champagne attacking????
We beat a very pedestrian Bradford side who were awful in attack and not much better in defence, there was 3 or 4 occasions when the line was at their mercy but they dropped it or god knows what. We would not have nilled a better team. I agree it was a mile better than the Hull fiasco but I still feel mid table beckons!!! hope i am wrong.

We didn't nil Bradford

Yes i know i was there. We did except for the last 30 seconds. I cant see us nilling another team for 79 minutes and 30 seconds!!!! Better?

well even if it wasnt champagne rugby it was still better then what weve had put up with for the last 11 or 12 games still think top four finish

I really hope you are right bud!!!!

Does seem the most effective way to use cunningham would have him running at the defence as much as possible.
I think he would make a great prop but its never gonna happen!

Will be interesting in the next couple of months to see how the 3 hookers are used.

We did as good a job as possible if our gameplan was to play into Saints hands and give you a lift after last week's game versus Hull!

All we actually needed to do to manage that was string more than 2 passes together and get a kick away on the last tackle

IMO the is no way kc can play prop. He's not fit enough and his body aint up to it either. Maybe 5yrs ago he would have done a good job at prop, but not now, no way!

sorry pete, i dont agree, he is fit enough for 20 min stints, and he's been fairly injury free (lets hope he stays that way) for a while

As he's got older and slower he's cut his dummy half running down. He's done that as he can't do that type of rugby anymore. The days of kc doing powerfull runs have gone, they been gone for good while now.

Whats made kc a rugby league great, is his ability to change his style of play. He changed from a power house to a clever ball handling hooker, thats why kc has stayed at top for many years.

Taking the ball up and getting banged 1 or 2 times per set takes a lot out of the tank rather than playing at dummy half and passing, thats why kc would struggle at prop. His defence is 2nd to none and would have no probs there.

I couldn't make the bulls game on sunday, but it will be intresting to see what potter does with the hookers this week if moore and roby palyed as well as im told.

yep, it will be interesting, for all reports Moore did very well, as did robes

If potter has got any balls, he should stick with same 17.
