| Quote ="Bull Mania"I'm happy Murrells not playing. As you say he always has a stormer against us and while he won't do anything individually brilliant, he makes everyone else better around him. He rises in these big games (see Fev at Blackpool last year)
One thing you can't criticise about us this year is our defence (except against Fev) it looks like Fax will have Ben White (from Swinton) & James Woodburn-Hall at 6&7. If we can't start off well and keep them out, the longer the game goes on the more they may start to panic and throw passes that aren't on. That HB pairing doesn't frighten me in all honesty.
Queue to have egg on my face and both score blinding long range tries!
I think both teams are better at defending than attack so I expect it to be a low scoring game.'"
Not sure where to start with your post as you get it spot on then get it almost completely wrong.
Spot on about Murrell. He missed pre season which will have hurt him but there is a reason why he is always up there when it comes to voting for player of the year. Its the same reason the players in the league rate him so highly but some fans just don't get it with him for some reason.
Id agree about White and JWH, or at least I would have if I didnt see them totally out perform their London counterparts last week. JWH is very good but has had no luck with injuries and has great footwork that can undo any defence. White Im still unsure of and think we probably have better options but you never know.
Defence wise if you said that last season I would agree but our defence this season has been appalling and teams are coming straight through our middle which has never happened before under Marshall and it seems he is not sure how to fix it. It should be a really good game with a decent atmosphere.

| Just incredible. After 20 minutes in the second half we looked thoroughly beat too.
Having a pint in the piece hall now. It tastes all the sweeter.

| Well at least we can't have concerns about our fitness levels - we definitely play for the full 80!

| Do you think ? Looked to me like we played for 30 minutes, 15 in each half.
We seem to be very good at papering over the cracks

| Nothing wrong with papering over cracks as long as it holds. I'm quite sure the powers that be know where the cracks are and what the remedy is.

We only played for 10 minutes last week 30 is a great improvement. Wait till we can play for 60 we will be unbeatable. Still you will moan I suspect. Great performance against one of the divisions strong teams.

| Bizarre that we keep winning even when we are down and out. Even at 26-12 down, I just had a feeling. Well played Bulls.

| Superb result. These comebacks show there is some real belief in this side.
I wouldn't have put this game down for 2 points so I'm really pleased we got the spoils. Need to keep focus and not drop points in the upcoming games that should in theory be winnable matches.

I do apologise for having a different opinion to yours I look forward to us playing for 60 minutes. Must remember my rose tinted specs for Monday

| Can't work this team out. I thought we started quite brightly and moved the ball around pretty well early on. Our defence though (which has been very good all year) was pretty abysmal for some of their tries (especially Robinson) when Halifax went in front we seemed to become really poor. One up carries, our last tackle options were awful. Why do we never grubber it?
But my god we have some steel about us. That's the first time we've won at Fax since we've been relegated! I've seen Bulls teams completely crumble without a wimper when the going gets tough. But this group seem to get themselves up the off canvas and fight back. Yes we can be playing much better, yes they're are issues that need fixing, but we're winning and winning tough games we simply haven't had the mental strength to win for a number of years. If we can get the performance right for a full 80 mins, we're going to be a very dangerous team. We're 2 points off second.
Shout out to Matty Storton who I thought we superb. Players bouncing off him like skittles.
Very happy to come away with the bragging rights from Fax.
Oh how we laughed

| I guess this idea of an 80 minute performance is a bit of a myth anyway, in most games the momentum shifts and teams have good and bad spells. This side is far from perfect and I'm sure there is plenty that could be improved but whilst they keep grinding out the results I'm struggling to have too many complaints.
My thoughts were that if we sneaked into 5th this year would be considered a successful return to Championship. We are currently well placed to be in the mix for that so I reckon we're doing fairly well considering the early disruptions in the side.
