Cant be a point lost, we never had 16 points. Weve gained one, and Salford remain the same amount behind us. Just hope Cas do us a favour against KR. Big weekend needed next weekend though.

Didnt Burgess drop it 35 yards from Salfords line, hardly fair to blame him for them going 50 metres in 2 sets.

I'm not so sure that the Leeds game is a must win. I would expect both Rovers and Salford to lose their respective games, so if anything we can play with no real pressure of the gap closing. A decent performance is all I want, 2 league points would be a much welcomed bonus. But losing won't be the end of the world either.

A point gained. Tonights was always going to go either way so not too disappointed.

Elima's one of my favourite players, but needs to just cool it with the officials (I presumed he was sin binned for dissent as he usually likes a word).

He's an exceptionally aggressive player and we need that, he's not getting pinged for foul player, it's usually dissent, so just needs to try and cool it on that front.

Or put Tomkins on the back of the shirt as referees suddenly seem immune to dissent when he starts talking.

A point gained but important game next week.

Despite the problems, tonight's coverage was the best I have heard from bcb. Not a single 5 minute story that caused me to miss 2 tries. These two, whilst lacking a bit of knowledge, actually appeared to be watching the match. Not sure what happened to the usual pair, but long may it last!

Pryce scored all 3 out on the far, 2 from passing move opened space for him one from a gale kick into the corner that stopped on the salfor 1 metre and pryce picked it and slide over, final try was pretty decent.

Pryce intercepted on our own 5 ran up to about half way, jeffries than kicked accross field to a waiting ainscough who ran inside passed to burgess who busted a gut to get in support who went in under the posts.

Burgess' knock on wasnt the problem who dropped it on the salford 10ish salford then got a penalty from their 2nd tackle which marched them downfield for them to score, dont know what eilima did to get sin binned couldnt see really well from the far side, salford then scored from the resulting set.

Frustrating game for both sets of fans. Lots of dropped ball in the final 15 minutes which neither team took advantage of.

With Burgess going in under the sticks I thought we may have done enough to take the spoils but Salford piggy backed their way up field and grabbed a late score which they probably deserved. A draw was probably a fair result but both teams will probably feel robbed.

The amount of ball we put down in the final 20 was criminal.

Not amust win in terms of league table as it stands. But think people are thinking in terms of limiting damage of points deduction for going into admin, in which case a win against Leeds would certainly be helpful.

Everyone played well just the number of dropped balls and penalties cost us dear.....again

Dont think elima was for dissent looking at the ref think it was something to do with his tackle when the ball came loose on our own 5.

We need kearney back he adds the extra spark to our attack we seem to be lacking when we get to the oppo 20 atm

Can't argue with that. Disappointed we didn't manage to put it beyond doubt when we were 2 points ahead and Pryce got the interception for you to get the go ahead try.

Out of 10 consecutive sets between the two teams somewhere around the 60-70 minute mark, 9 of them resulted in knock ons.

Elima was sin binned for pulling a Salford player back as he went for a loose ball 5m out. Probably saved a try (until the next set). Average game overall, with numerous dubious decisions for both sides.

ta thought it was for something like that

Indeed, one the calls that Silverwood did get right tonight.. It was a clear sin binning for foul play. We got a couple of tough calls in good positions in the latter part of the 2nd half. He missed a clear knock on from Patten and a ball steal in Salford 30. But we also made far too many errors and came up with some poor options on their line. The knock on by Burgess when we were leading 20-16 and then to compound it with a penalty was suicidal.

Pryce had a superb game. Not only did he score a great hat trick he also saved a score from Salford with an intercept and how he mananged to get back in the field of play fielding one kick through I'll never know.

We gifted too many yards tonight and we have to get this fixed up pretty quickly. I thought a draw was probably the right result with neither team much better than the other. It would certainly have been tough on the Bulls if Salford had of snatched victory at the end.

Silverwood had a bad night odd calls all over the field for both sides.

You can always rely on burgess to drop the ball & the other team get possession and then score

Terrible conditions. Lots of errors from both sides.

1 point is better than none, and it could quite easily have been none.

Highlights of the game for me were Lulias tackle on Patten (Think it was?) and Pryce's interception (which in the end is probably the reason we got a point)

The KP that takes his chances when offered them and makes the right decisions about coming out of the line is definitely worth another deal.

Some very good stuff and some very poor. Even the wet conditions didnt explain the amount of lost ball inside their 20m.

Nice new tidy ground, but how did it get planning permission with such limited road access?

After the Odsal game against Salford I think the result was a point gained.

I think for most Bulls fans next weeks game is a must win, even if were 20 points clear at the top!

From Connor Murphy:

@MICKtheGLED I was seriously impressed tonight Mick. It was as loud as some away trips with United.

Long may this rejuvenation continue.

Salford knocked on fielding our 2nd half kick off. We never looked like getting over their line from the resulting set and then had a shocking 10 mins turning the ball over with a knock on or a penalty umpteen times and having to drop out 3 times. We lost all the momentum built up towards end of 1st half. However we did eventually get back in the game, and in front, only to chuck it away again. Knocked on straight after our last try, then gave away pen,then Ollie sin binned and ,inevitably ,they scored.
Far too many pens given away for laying on in tackle; this MUST be sorted.

You really are an odious thing aren't you. I don't think ever read a positive comment from you, just negative, uninformed b*llocks.

they were very funny shame the coverage kept disappearing

We dropped too much ball and gave away too many silly penalties to win it so I'll take a draw. Also a massive improvement on the home match. Salford are now our bogey team so it's a point away from home gained for me. I can't see why they shouldn't be further up the table to be honest with Smith, Patten and Holdsworth in the middle I was really impressed with our defence at times to keep them out.

We need Kearney and/or Sammut back fit.

Smart ground, the main stand is impressive from outside, the staff were as firnedly as they were at the willows but the access is terrible. The scrap to get out of the gravel was pretty bad and then the queue from there round the ground to Liverpool Rd and back to the motorway took as long as it took to do the rest of the journey. Also the hot dog I had before kick off was rank. Did anyone else notice the police horses riding round. What a waste of money! Since when have you needed police horses at a Rugby match?

The last game before it came out that we were in immediate financial peril was Salford at home. The last game before the results of the strategic review are announced was Salford away. Weird how things pan out. Just hope it wasn't our last game.

T&A was fairly damning of Pryce's defensive effort. Did his defensive lapses cancel out his go-forward?

Suppose they're on about the Williams tries? I couldn't tell you whether it was him or whether it was the team not not being able to move across fast enough leaving him in a two on one situation.

There were some absolute moments of brilliance though. A few players made tackle busting charges at the Salford line, L'estrange threw an amazing dummy, the last try was great play from the Pryce interception right through.

Bit harsh but it was the wrong end of the ground for us and the lack of height to the stands doesn't give a great view from the North stand. He certainly saved a certain try with his intercept and superb run from in goal to prevent a drop out. His try from the chip over to score his hat trick was superb handling in the awful conditions.

I thought he had a pretty good game. I'd be more concerned about why we continually gifted Salford good position with silly penalties and poor handling.
