32 - 14 Bulls way

Really?! Curious why you think our misfiring attack will click today.

I'll go 27-26 golden point win to bulls. Attendance 1900.

Its got to click one day.

I'll guess at Oakes and Minchella in the centres with Webster on the bench.Pickersgill and Hodgson to miss out.Bulls to win by 10.crowd 2600.

Actually, there is a very important difference between a loan and a DR. A loan is a minimum 4 week contract with no recall, where as DRs can pop in and out of either their contracted team or DR team at will.

Seems strange to me that.

If Fevs line up is correct, they have Jack Busssey (Prop) at 6, it be pretty shameful if we lose this. Close Boas down and Wacth King when he comes on.

Yep Bussey at 6, Walters, a back row/ middle in the centre, 2 centres on the wings and a wing at full back. On paper it looks a low-scoring game you'd think.

Of course there is a difference, otherwise they'd be called the same thing. But in the sense of other team's players being picked ahead of your own club's reserves, there's absolutely zero difference. I don't understand how one is being vilified and the other totally justified, except of course because of which teams are involved.


One the subject of the match, it doesn't look like Fev need to be all that reliant on DR anyway as they haven't needed it today (and yes, I know there's a couple of the much younger element of the Rhinos squad playing).

Don't think it's anything to do with the teams involved. I think D/R has always been hated on this forum and we were against it when we used it with Widnes. I don't think it's to do with Leeds players being picked ahead of Fevs reserves as I wouldn't expect Fev to run a reserves with the funding they get.
The issue with D/R as others have said is a team can pick the likes of Brad Singleton for one game. It's an integrity issue.

Anyway on the game, sounds like we've been schooled by Fev. The fact they've got a prop at 6 is pretty embarrassing from us. Some harsh words needed.

May have spoke too soon...

I was just gonna say the same. Seems Bulls have left it late, but even if they don't go on to win it, that's a hell of a fight back.

Like I said, an unventful, low-scoring game

What a finish!

Wow. Just wow. 26-8 down with seven minutes remaining. Bulls win. BULLS WIN!

Well...

So that's Cup games sorted for me. Instead of paying £20-odd I will stay in the pub and walk in for the last 10 minutes, for free. Turn up at the same time as the team

UN-BE-LIEVABLE !!!

Exactly as I predicted.

Well that was fun, wasn't it?

I'm now going to go defrost myself as I can barely feel my fingers

I’ve said this before, there is a massive difference between loan and d/r. Loan you have to take them for a minimum 28 term, d/ r allows you to effectively get a SL 18th man if the Champ side plays on a Sunday! When we had the Leeds lads they clearly weren’t in the plans of Rhinos as you’ve seen with Lilley & Hallas, one has been allowed to come for 18m no cup tieing or anything the other was released after been sent to us on loan and signed for us permananetly. Massive difference between DR and loans

How in the hell have we won that game?!

Great spirit shown in that final 10 mins to claw back the game. We were dreadful for 70 mins and played some unbelievable rugby in the final 6-8 mins to put ourselves in a position to win the game. We were helped by a monumental collapse from Fev.

Minchella and Lilley with some incredible individual plays. Wow, what a game!

Any news on Flanagan's arm injury?

Broken thumb

Not bad....not bad at all
