How did Pitts and Arundel go?

Yes, agreed on professional foul. Absolute blatant ten minutes. He was even looking around to check everyone was back.
Poor refereeing.

But nice to not have that as an excuse for anything, not even for the WIN!

Good. I kind of lost track in the excitement. But Arundel has added something to the back line for sure. And thus letting Purts go to second row, where he was great.

I didn't notice Pitts, but guess that's a good thing.

Pitts same as last week , pretty solid and good in defence , arundel when moved to the other side added some better defence against Joel Monaghan. Both did great and really helping us with Injury's

Come on you bulls !

Good to hear they are going well.

We were damn lucky with Pitts in the first half. He was flopping about all over the pitch after a hard hit, eventually made it back to the line (after two extended spells on his knees with his face in the dirt). When Warrington did run at him, as everyone could see that they would, we were lucky they screwed it up.

We're also lucky this ain't the NRL cos if it was the club would be facing a huge fine for that right now. He should have been straight off.

What's the obsession with Wakefield, it's Salford you should be looking at

If we'd played Salford with the last 2 week's mindset and spirit, we'd have beaten them!

Good win for you guys today.

The chase is on!!

We just need to win our games , keep this rolling on . I know what you mean and with Hanson saying they 6 weeks away from gelling we have a chance to catch up some points

Come on you bulls ! Lost my voice today shouting that so loud

When you played Salford, did you not lose Gaskell to injury midway into the first half????

Hard to attack without any halves.

We lost Kearney today in 1st half who was playing SO, but the attitude today was totally different!

Was it a head knock? I couldn't work out whether he was concussed or just battered and bruised. I agree he should have been taken off sooner.

I didn't actually see what happened. Looked concussed to me though from the way he was running when he first got up. His legs weren't going where he was aiming them.

He took a heavy knock tackling Asotasi from a kick off return late in the first half. Not sure whether he picked up an injury there or not. He was extremely groggy for the last few minutes of the half but returned to the game in the second half and seemed OK.

Like many on here, 2 weeks I was calling for FC's head on a pole ... after 2 cracking, spirited performances what do I know!

Whatever has happened behind the scenes it seems to have worked, so hats to FC and team (though I would still like to see much quicker defensive line speed!)

Play like that every week, don't even think about teams around and the rest will follow ... cos you can't stop a Bull when he's made up his mind!

I hope everyone got their bets on yesterday for the quarter final game as I am guessing the odds have dropped a bit tonight.

If Kearney is out for a month or so we do have cover for full back and we do seem to have a surplus of backs when George is fit again after his injury in the warm-up today. Arrundel had a decent game. George played well last week so the back line looks OK. Purts was a big surprise in the second row. I didn't expect that.

If we could just bring in two more big forwards we could now have a decent second half of the season as long as Hudds don't recall the big guy after the month is up. That would knock us back again if that happened. We need some stability now not a constant swap and change. I wonder if Burke at Wigan is ready to return?

Hudds are definitely going to recall him when the month is up. Other outcomes are possible, no other outcome is likely. At all.

FWIW, for all that he had a good game, his main benefit to the team was enthusiasm. He won collisions and made tackles but he wasn't the difference between what we've seen and what we got today.

I did worry that we'd broken Pitts and would have to send him back, a la Burke.

Sometimes you really do need to hit rock bottom before players get their heads out of their s and start putting the effort in. Wigan was an embarrassment for you guys but it's brilliant to see you now. COME ON BULLS!

Good job I'm typing this as I've pretty much lost my voice. Superb effort from the team. And a great atmosphere, you could just sence the feeling of possibility growing throughout the crowd as the game went on, for the first time in a very very long time I had every confidence we'd get that last try, fantastic.

Also, as othes have said, stuff wakeys results, keep winning what we can, only worry about what we do (like improve defensive line speed, cut out silly mistakes but keep the enthusiasm and belief from today) and we might bring some other teams back into the reckoning. If we show that level of desire and heart, mixed with some smarter play, that will hopefully come with confidence, then we'll give ourselves every shot at avoiding the drop, and make turning up at odsal enjoyable again like it was today and last week. Great stuff.

www.superleague.co.uk/report/9977 Massive stats from Sidlow. Is Danny Addy actually a big stand off? Judged over the last 3 years he might just be our best half back and I wonder if he isn't well worth sticking with as probably the most creative ball player in the squad.

I thought Sidlow ran his blood to water. He could hardly stand after being or making tackles before he was taken off, and you could see he would have stayed on if needed. Also thought Diskin burst his lungs with his break and needed oxygen, and like Sidlow he kept making tackles and carries. Addy always plays his heart out where ever he is played. He very rarely finishes a game in the position he started it.

Always Liked Sidlow.He's the type of player you need in your squad put's in a full shift week in week out.
Unbelievable turnaround in the last two weeks and FC must take credit as he took the stick(Quite rightly so imo) when we were getting whipped not that long ago.Another couple of signings--PROP----Three quarter with pace----and we may get out of this mess.
Gaskell now showing his talents augurs well for the future.
Well done all at the Bulls for the last two weeks.Great stuff.

Agree on sidlow puts in a decent shift each week, only thing thats seems missing from him is size, he is tall but not as big as a lot of other props.

Couple of new players, keeping up the momentum, and getting guys back from injuries Nas/jamal, Donno the tackle machine and a few others we are hopefully well on the way.
