High tackle on Moore I think, one of ours steamed on they threw punches we retaliated 1 each binned

You sure it was one each? Twitter saying 2 Swinton lads were binned?

1 was binned earlier on, think it was for high again.

Ryan in again carbon copy of previous

22-34 Thomas converts

Maybe 5mins left.

Keyes drills kick dead

Lions back to 12 men

Giving far to many penalties away, need to work on that

Thomas makes it 22-35 think seals it

Swinton in late.

28-35

13v13 think we would have lost

Geez, it's a win. Enjoy it as we might not get many this year

It doesn't matter how we get the wins. Whether we win by 7 or 70 you can only get 2 points per game and it was mission successful today.

Delighted for all involved with the club and all fans. The players needed that and will take so much confidence from it going forward.

All teams likely to be slugging it out at the bottom of the table lost this weekend and some by high scores so it has been a good one all round.

A win from a very bad tempered and poorly referred match well done team.

How did Pryce and Keyes play?

You'll find that once we get one or two more big props in and the ground hardens up our lads will play better. Especially with the additions of Lee Smith, Phoenix and apparently a prop with SL experience. The team looks better on paper each week and they will start to gel the more games they have together!

Pretty good win that for you lot.
Swinton are a decent team on their own turf, as we found out.

Looking forward to welcoming you (and quite a few of our old boys) to the capital in a couple of weeks.

Great to get that 1st win under our belts, the longer we went without any points the greater the pressure.

Massive game next week at Odsal, need to keep the momentum. Hopefully a couple more bodies in the side as well.

We still haven't got any points

It was good to hear that when they started messing about that the whole team weighed in.

A great team effort. They are tough these young lads and got well and truly stuck in. Scott Moore made an impact. MOM for me was Thomas today. Didn't put a foot wrong, made some good yards and added an attacking threat with the boot.
Swinton fans having a scrap at the end too. I'm not sure what that was about but the steward said he couldn't see any trouble. Obviously goes to the same optician as the ref.

Great performance compared to last week.

Well done lads

Has anybody read the match report? Looks like it was written by a Lithuanian with learning difficulties. The club need to get their publicity output sorted, that kind of thing just makes them look amateurish.

I might suggest they send everything to me so I can translate it before it gets into the public domain.

Was Colton Roche sinbinned following the brawl? I thought he was but none of the reports mention it.

Reads like it's been put through a web translator a few times. Really needs sorting as its getting embarrassing now.

On the radio they said it was him

This could be the reason

From Wolford6 on TRL

I'm a Bulls fan, but some of the chanting from our fans' chorus was offensive. Hence a bit of a scuffle after the match finished. Apologies to the Swinton regulars

Can't believe nobodys mentiond James Bentley, for me man of the match played full 80
tackled like a demon took the ball up & handled well for certainly one of our tries.
definitely a bateman of the future

Huddersfiwld Giants will want making aware of this.

Yes he was. Andy Bracek was the first to go following the brawl, closely followed by Roche. Roche was definitely in there throwing a few, but so were quite a few others. He was as good a choice as any to go for 10 minutes though as the ref needed to send one from each side to calm it down.





I didn't hear too much bad and didn't see any scuffling, but I do have to say I was a little disgusted at one chant especially. The "rabble" part of our fans (the usual suspects) can be funny at times, but they can also be offensive. The crap they were giving the poor ball boy was out of order. The kid didn't do anything, he was just a little overweight, and they took it upon themselves to repeatedly mock him for that. I felt really sorry for the lad and quite embarrassed that fans of our club could be like that.

It's one thing giving players or public faces of the club some stick over being a bit weighty (Jake Emmitt, Derek Beaumont etc.), but giving it to a kid on the sidelines volunteering as a ball boy was a disgrace.

Unfortunately a lot of the people in that group are more bothered about showing off in front of their friends than they are about being decent human beings.
