If Jowitt is fit, he takes the FB spot ahead of Wynne.

Over 5500 tickets sold. Let's hope we don't do our usual trick of things seemingly on the up, big crowd and we produce a stinker of a performance.

So grab the two points in front of 5.5k.

Bongser has one idea why Iaone is not hitting the straps quite as well this season. No Lam man management and coaching? There are a few Wire rejects from Powell's first (disastrous and possibly penultimate) season (2022) that are helping shake up SL this season under Adrian's tutelage! Hmmm?

As usual, all the best for tomorrow.

Gaskell running the show at the minute - he needs to be careful !!!

Gaskell and Patton causing a riot which the Cougars really can't handle. Keighley have had no ball in the Bulls half for over 20 minutes.

The enjoyable aspect of this match has been the way all players have been keen to back up and support the attack. Massive contributions from all the new signings

Superb stuff here. Kudos Gaskell.

Great result with the bonus that Fax and Sheffield have lost their games this afternoon.

Men against boys today. We outclassed the Cougars in ever department. Gaskell and Patton running the show. Our left hand edge was unstoppable. 6 tries scored down that wing where PLT was playing. Great to put another massive score on the Cougars after how giddy they got earlier this year.

Huge problems at Keighley. Sacking Lovegrove now looks like the worst decision the club have made for some time.

Excellent result and some lovely tries scored. Too big, too fast and too skilful for Cougars today. They are the worst side I've seen us play this year, be amazed if they avoid relegation based on that effort.

However, it was pleasing to see the side really go for kill in the 2nd half when in reality they could of coasted to a 40 something victory without much effort.

Next up a tricky away game at Widnes, which I can see being a potential banana skin tie.

Really enjoyed that. Keighley were woeful, as other posters said, getting rid of Lovegrove was a ridiculous decision. No way would they have been that bad with him in charge.

As bad as Keighley were, I thought we were great and kept the foot on the throat. We've seen so many times we either let teams back in or just coast rest of game. Good habits to pick up by being ruthless.

There was a sloppy 10 mins before HT where we tried taking short cuts and scoring every play. Put that right second half.

S'pose 74-12 will just have to do.
Well done.

Don’t understand Cougars this year. Built a solid mid-table Champ side. Got rid of Lovegrove then got rid of all the players who were doing damage to sides.

Such poor management.

What a performance from our boys though. Gaskell was unplayable. Wallace had a fantastic game. The outside backs were all class. Thought Blackmore did exactly what we missed at Cougar Park and made yards in get out sets.

All in all class. And still got Baldy, Holmes and Baitieri to come back.

Baldy out for the season done acl

Ah I didn’t know that. Deffo need a prop or two to cover him and the loss of Johnson. Unless Matongo can keep fit and Foster steps up. Gutted about Baldy. Was one of our more consistent performers in the first half of the year.

How pleasing was that performance ? I thought it very appropriate that on the day that we finally mastered the small dimensions of the Odsal pitch, it was our beloved neighbours who also got to join in the celebrations !

Only downside of yesterday was announcing we'd sold 5.5k tickets then giving the official attendance as 4.8k.

Think it was obvious at the end just how popular a member of the squad Bodene's been.

Shame I missed it. If this is what happens when I'm not there maybe I should stay away more often.

As a penance, you need to buy 700 tickets next time to make up the difference from yesterday…..

You realise that Bullseye makes Bully Boxer look like a "Spendthrift!"

So was this the highest attendance in the Championship this year?

Its was a local 'journalist' that announced 5500 tickets sold.
I was genuinely shocked it was less than that figure as the 'journalist' has a fantasic reputation for providing accurate information.......

To be fair it was actually the club who tweeted the 5500k figure. Unless the did a typo and meant 4500k.

I never pay much attention to the local "journalist" /mouthpiece.

back on topic

... having now 2 wingers bringing the ball back is awesome ... dont know about Jorge (george or what his name is) but he looks a beast but ... Blackmore, i know he brain farts sometimes but the guy just makes so many metres (yardage for us old gimmers

) ... Blackmore an absolute steal

Water under the bridge now but their prop, Parker, who got yellow carded at the end of the match picked up a 2 match ban for dangerous contact
