London strike back

London 4 Bulls 12

London in again just before half time.

London 8 Bradford 12

Really poor stuff here especially in defence if he can’t get the team up for it then Kear need to go

Just same old repeating itself. Do well, switch off and let opposition back into game.

At the moment it's looking like the tie of the day and would have been much better for The Beeb to stream than the Batley walkover - no advert for the game at all the latter.

Mind you, Hunslet are going close!

Gutted for Hunslet Parkside! Thought they were going to square it up with 5 to go!

What’s happening with the Bulls? Turning off and letting London back into it and London have had two disallowed. Ignoring Kear when he wanted to go for two?

London 8 Bradford 12

Entering the final 20 mins of the game.

Kieran Gill scores with 12 mins to go.

London 8 Bradford 18

More injuries as Rhys Evans goes off injured.

Did say London would make it tough for you, but you look like pulling away

I said it would be 30-10 to the bulls, looks like my prediction will not be far off

Gill goes in again for a back-to-back score for Bradford.

London 8 Bradford 24

Bradford go in again as Flanagan dives in for a score. Game over.

London 8 Bradford 30

Kieran Gill in for his hat-trick from a Patton kick in the final minute. Good second half performance from the Bulls that sees us in the fifth round of the Challenge Cup.

Full time: London 8 Bradford 34

Comfy in the end

The real test now is backing this up in the League against Batley.

Give them there due much better 2nd half

The first 20 minutes of the second half were dire. We seemed to have no idea of how to get across their line. And London could well have got in front when Macani got over but from a marginally forward pass. Last 20 minutes were excellent and I wonder why we could not play like that for a full 80. Gill and Millar are very impressive going forward, though both London tries came on their wing. We also need a proper half to go with Patton. But, onwards and upwards.

That scoreline hides the fact that there's still an awful lot of graft to do. That last minute spree mustn't fool the lads into thinking otherwise. I'm paranoid after the reaction to our Dewsbury win!

If we play like that next week we will get a towelling and wont be in a position to run away with the game in the last 15 mins. Large parts of the game we were god aweful and better teams would have punished us

That being said we hung in there and turned it on in the end. Good to see Scurr Hall and Kibula get a run out. Gill was class again and gets better and better attacking wise.

Looks like Matty Dawson is going to be out a while with a broken jaw. Rhys Evans also left the field presumably injured. Hopefully Jordan is back next week pushing Kear to the wing.

Tough one next week but hopefully a bit of confidence has returned qnd we can get stuck in. Its always a physical one against Batley

I didn't see the game but was pleasantly surprised by the result. Sounds like it was an arm wrestle for 60mins and we finished strongly. Better than scraping a win. SOunds like we weren't perfect though so definitely some improvement needed for Batley.

Hope the Evans injury isn't serious as we are short of bona fide centres in the squad.

How did Hall go? Twitter updates made it sound like he butchered a try after making a break?

Millar couldn’t take the pass in

I guess you can only beat what is in front of you, but I remain unconvinced until we put a run of performances together. Sunday we were only marginally better than a very weak looking London side (bar the final 15mins when they just totally imploded). Play like that against Batley and we will be one from four.

On the positive notes, Gill looks one hell of a player in attack and Patten's kicking game was in good shape. If we can get Lilley alongside him for a prolonged period, then we might be ok.
