| Quote ="dixie"Will take that result.
Great effort all round. Just really needs some more forwards. Quite a few soft tries to concede but heads never really went down. I think we'll win more games than I was expecting if the effort is like that.
Hull KR were decent. Did what they had to do. Probably top the league but will have much tougher tasks than Bradford at home this season.'"
I would largely agree with this assessment. You have the nucleus of a good championship team, I thought the fullback was particularly impressive.
Regarding Rovers performance, for quite a few players it was their first serious game for us. From the spine only Lunt played last season, 1 new centre and winger, Minns has switched sides and Shaw only played a few games before his serious injury last season, new loose man and 2 new props so plenty of scope for development and improvement in our team. Hopefully we will rise to the tougher tasks ahead, starting away to London next week

| Good turn out today & I thought you were very respectful during the Colin Hutton ceremony. Thank you.
Your boys did okay as well. Very good kicking game & plenty of energy. Plenty of promise there.
Don't think Moss will be on the wing for long, he's just come into the group late & we're short on wingers.

| Great effort considering the ridiculous "preparation" you've had.
Brilliant traveling support, that'll probably be the best away support of the season. Thanks for coming.

| Cheers for all the kind comments from hkr fans, i suspect it's not often a 30 point win/loss is greated as job well done for both sets of fans! We realistically never expected anything other than a loss, but the manner of the performance was all important and it looks generally positive.
Average age of the Bulls 17 today? 22 including leon, 20.something without him. And with no preseason I'm proud of the players tonight, really need to back that effort ip next week for the first home game.

| Good effort today. I thought Hull KR looked very good. Dummy runners aplenty! As Bullseye said, a moral victory!
Huge game next week. Last few weeks the team have rightly been patted on the back for spirit and effort. But this week its all about performance and getting a result.
Thought Hallas had a good game from the Leeds lot. Bentley looks like he'll be a cracking little player

No 'probably' about it, mate. You might get a few from Halifax and Fev, but the rest will be car loads if our experience the last couple of years are a guide

| Really chuffed that all seem generally content with today and that it seems there are positives to be taken and to be built upon. Also pleased by the realism of the Bradford fans and the encouragement from those of KR. Hope the cavalry arrive in numbers in the near future and that they buy into the pride that it would seem was sported today. Bravo to all.
Rochdale would seem to have hit the ground running but will still be a less daunting fixture than today's. All the best.

| You're supporters were fantastic today during the Colin Hutton tribute. Great to see so many of you there as well. Good luck for the rest of the season (apart from when you play us obviously !)

| I couldn't make it today but listened on the radio. It sounds like there are some encouraging signs there. I wasn't expecting us to score 24 and from the commentary I heard Macani very nearly scored not long before half time and we were held up at least once too so could have had over 30 points.
54 points conceded isn't great and they'll have plenty to work on in defence this week. You can excuse it given we have so many young blokes in the side so hopefully some experienced recruits will help that.
How did Thomas go at full back?
Looking forward to seeing what news the coming week holds. Keeping fingers crossed for some new recruits. Bring on Rochdale! They had a good start against Dewsbury so I'm sure will be a stern test. Although the highlights of that match are on the internet and Dewsbury looked awful.

| Your hastily assembled team put in a really gutsy and spirited performance today. Over the coming weeks you will improve massively and I am convinced you will stay in the Championship this year and avoid the drop.
However, the best performance and the biggest raps go to the huge and passionate and vocal Bradford fans at today's game. There must have been nearly 1000 of you there today and boy were you respectful, loud and enthusiastic in equal measure. Good teams deserve great supporters. Rugby League is certainly enriched by having a viable Bradford team plying it's trade. Good luck for the season and here's hoping we see you back soon alongside us in Super League, where we both belong.

If he was the guy you had at fullback then I would say I thought he was an outstanding performer for you. Good positional play for kicks and linked into the line well, good footwork as well.

Thanks. He came on in the second half against Keighley and had a bit of a mare. Glad to hear he played well as I would have put Jonny Campbell in instead. Guess we can put last week down to him being a bit rusty with it being his first run out.

Thomas was excellent I thought. Seemed to have good positional sense and made progress progress and was dangerous almost every time he had the ball. Was probably second to Lilley in his performance. It will be important to extend Lilley's loan beyond the initial month.

| Lilley's kicking game had to be one of the best I've seen from a Bradford player in probably a decade. Nearly every kick was inch perfect.

| Thomas was good today. Got all his goals I think too. Hope he can keep it up.
Lilley obviously the stand out. A little concerned we'll come to revolve around him in these opening weeks and then he has to disappear in a puff of smoke. I think I'd rather we struggle on without than have that.

| Well done Bradford fans a good following, noisy when the game started but respectful for the Colin Hutton tribute beforehand. We appreciated that, class on your part.
Very spirited performance too, midway through the second half I thought you were finally running out of steam but the intercept try gave you a second wind. It was never easy and with more signings to come and time for the coach to make a mark you can only improve.
Oscar Thomas? Been surprised by the criticism on here I first saw him against us for London a couple of years back and thought he was a good player then. He was excellent today at full back .
Reeling in those 12 points and getting out of the bottom 2 is going to be tough, I don't think you'll do it by round 23 but after the split and with the better teams out of the way I think on the evidence of today (and with the certain improvement to come) you can do it.
I hope so , good luck.

| Just to reiterate what others have said and say thanks for turning up in such numbers and for the impeccable respect shown by you guys during the tributes to Colin Hutton.
I think both teams will go away with plenty to work on but also take plenty of positives from the game. If Toovey can sort out the defensive line you have pace and points in you.
For you guys Lilley, Peltier were the stand outs for me (although Peltier wasn't so strong in the second half) and other than the shoddy kick off your Full back had a pretty good game.
