| Dewsbury 16-42 Bradford (0-30 HT)
I was very impressed with the Bulls in the 1st half. Diskin looked very sharp early on to say it's his first match in a long time and looked dangerous every time he picked the ball up out of Dummy half.
My man of the match was Luke Gale though. This guy controlled everything. He asked questions every time he took the line on and scored a couple of nice tries, not to mention setting up a few others. That creativity is something Bradford havent had for a few years and it can only be a positive for the Bulls.
Joseph is someone who has really impressed me in the 2 pre season games so far too. He puts his body on the line every time he tries something, whether it by with ball in hand or making a tackle. I was pleased for him to get over the line today as the effort he put in definitely warranted it.
It was good to see the Bulls hustle in defence too. I know it was only Dewsbury (and I mean that in the most respectful way I can) but when they moved the ball latterally across the field they looked dangerous and they will cause a few teams a lot of problems this year.
Bradford were very professional today though and a few players put their hands up big time for a spot against Catalan

Thought about it and tbh it might not of been McDonnell, may of been Hall which wouldn't be a surprise.
Anyhow, Seymour puts a bomb up and the Rovers player runs towards it been bottles catching it and Chris Green gathers it and scores under the sticks.
Like I said might not of been McDonnell but it was one of the two.

Ahhhh, yeah that was Hally, tbf he had a good game other than that, playing a large part of the game at stand off and I was pleased to see it didn't knock his confidence like it would have done in the past. He has come on tremendously since June last year.

| Ahh my mistake then thought it was your fullback as he seemed to be in that position at the time.
Yeah Hall had a good game with ball in hand, did some good effective things that caused us problems.
I'm obviously gutted we got beat especially when it's against Rovers, but I have to keep reminding myself that it was our first game in almost 5 months and you was playing your third which would of helped. No doubt the missed tackles are down to fatigue. But plenty of things to be happy with, although Horneys game doesn't seemed to of changed at all. But then again I'm not a fan of his and see him as a weak link with in the team.

| Horne hasn't been effective for years, especially after the diabetes business and the injury before that.
He's pretty much non-existant in games. I don't think things are as bad as some Hull fans are making out, hope I'm wrong though!

| Hopefully it's due to been under the Agar regime, but unfortunately I don't think it is.
Years ago I always said he was the best defensive 6 in the league and would tackle all game but even now his defence is suspect. Never supports anymore and his efforts with ball in hand. Well the less said the better. I'm sick of seeing him do his obvious 'drop off' at such a slow pace.
Sad thing is I expect him to finish his career with Hull. Has been a great servant for Hull and was once a great player but sadly after his illness' it's time for Hull to find a replacement.

| IMO Hull would be better using Ellis (once he's shed a few pounds) this season. He's obviously lined up as Hull's future at HB so may as well get some SL game time under his rather large belt

| I believe it's actually known as the "Riddell," Scotty has been a dedicated follower of it since 2006.

| Wakey 40 Cas 20
Very much improved performance by Wakey. Completely battered Cas in the first half and 2 late scores from Cas making the final score closer than the game had been.
Plenty of stand outs for Trin, Amor, Washbrook, Aiton, John, Lauatiti and Cas seemed to suffer from a weakened pack.
Only a friendly, so cant read too much into the game, but Wakey going in the right direction.

Depends on if the level of performance could stay the same. We played some good rugby and Dobson got some lovely time on the ball thanks to some good work by a very strong rovers pack.

And that's a typical small town tigger comment - you weren't so sarcastic when you won Huddersfield and Bradford were ya? And we had Wilkes, Raleigh, Mariano, James, out which left us with 2 props playing - Johnson and Amor.

Yeah but I never made any claims you were at full strength. Hudds out about 7 out when we played them. ANd the bradford game both teams had a mixed squad.

| Wakefield were missing Wildey, James, Davey, Mariano, Wilkes, Raleigh and Morton yet we still played with 17 men as did Cas.
The game was a fair reflection of the two teams/squads, both had their 1st choice halfbacks and hookers available, both were short in the front row/pack.
As an indication of the two squads ability to cope with a SL season, Wakefield looked to be in a much stronger position.
The final scoreline of 40-20 was very flattering to Castleford who scored two scrappy late tries to make it look respectable-ish. Wakefield bombed three tries in the 1st half and also missed 4 shots at goal, all but one of Wakefields 8 tries came through passing plays while Castleford scored just one try that came through good handling.

Both teams played using thier srongest available squads, yes your front row was weak and you got battered first half, but it was only a friendly, so no worries.
Just like us though you wanted to win !
