We not doing our "20-22 points then cue on the rack" thing any more?

Orford lands another 34 - 0 (7 from 7)

I think the guy from BCB wants to have his babies 8-0

6 mins to go HKR down to 12 men - oooops.

HKR in from a kick - Ben Cockayne.

Dobson misses.

34 - 4

Kerney touchdown after a long range raid involving several players 38 - 4, just on the hooter.

Orford converts - 8 from 8.

40 - 4

Positive points difference for the first time this season...

Defence was world class today.

When's the last time we battered SL opposition like that?

Brilliant game well done you guys

A thoroughly professional and 80 minute performance. I thought we completely dominated them for just about the full 80 mins and they never looked likely to win against a very determined and disciplined Bulls outfit.

Elliot Whitehead was absolutely superb once again, he has all the attributes to be very special indeed. So glad he is a Bull.

Well done Macca and the Bulls, you've been building to this performance for a few weeks now. Don't let standards slip now in Scotland!

Our pack was superb today. It completely dominated the KR pack and they never got anywhere near the game.

Rovers fans were complaining about the referee. No doubt Child caned them, but it was purely down to some quite awful discipline. They got walloped in the penalty count and it could have been a hell of a lot more. If I were a coach in charge of a team with discipline like that, I'd have been absolutely fuming.

The one decision I thought they had right to be peeved at though was our last try. How was that pass from Whitehead not called forward?

Oh and I completely missed what Webster was sent off for as I was looking at the clock at the time!

Looked a mile forward but we're due some luck.

Pretty bad head high tackle on Donaldson. The Hull KR players seemed intent on injuring somebody towards the end so I am glad Child had the balls to send him off.

Firstly, the thing that pleased me most today was the defence - absolutely top notch.

Secondly our pack - It dominated theirs for just about the full 80 and Scrutons hit in the first 15 inutes was superb.

Worrincy has been given the kick up the backside he needed and he has responded well. Good work in defence made a good break and didn't look out of his depth. How good is Elliott Whitehead though? This guy is going to be world class, excellent work rate in defence, great first try. MoM by far for me.

Nobody had a bad game today and I have no complaints. Sheriffe's finishing is alot better and we are playing well from 1-17.

Starting to look very daft letting Macca go isn't it, when he's building such a special team.

As Hood said in the programme, it wasn't a case of letting him go. McNamara has had this ambition for some time now and he effectively made the boards mind up for them by signing the England contract before the board had chance to offer him one.


As you say, we have a special team, which I believe will continue to be special under our new coach.

I dunno...pee last week, clock this week...!



Outrageous high shot on Whitehead.

Back end of the game, their discipline went to pieces and I was sure they were going to badly injure someone.

To all the armchair experts from other clubs who rubbished our "lightweight" pack earlier on - you were saying? Totally dominant today against a supposedly immense pack.

The firmer pitches are clearly suiting us, and moving Kearney to full back has been crucial. Our defence was nothing short of outstanding! Soaked up all the pressure from them, then when we had our chances we took them. It got a bit dour in the middle, but we were just grinding out the sets and wearing them down. And the last quarter was electric.

Very very pleased today. 1-17 can hold their heads high - they deserve it.

The board have been extremely naive to not give Macca a contract before England came calling. After backing him through the period of turbulence and trauma, why let him slip through the grasp now.

Also 5 points clear of Leeds

Arent Leeds on 11 and us on 15.

Personally im not interested in where Leeds are just where Bradford are and any problems we may have.

Check again...

I'm sure that Leeds were only mentioned as a consequence of their being the side directly outside the play-off spots.

i agree, it doesnt really matter where leeds are in the table...but you cant tell me that your smile doesnt stretch half a centimetre further because of it?

Not many bad things from the rovers fans today either..oh apart from trying to climb over the turnstyles without paying and throwing a bottle of beer at police who asked someone to move his van.

JT i love seeing Leeds lose and as i won my bet at work makes it even better but Leeds will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season so not too interested about there league position.
