I think most people had that as their 17, but not in that particular order. Strong side though.

Ratchford at loose

Looks more wire fans here than bulls.

There's more kids in here than fans!!

Watching from Tokyo on iPllayer

Bit unfair of us sticking O'Brien in their subs....are they that hard up they have sold us one of their bench spots

Thats a poor excuse for not being here

I know apologies to all

How are watching?

I'm away well but I'm listening on the radio.

Not a bad half few silly mistakes Hill quite by his standards England is taking it in a lot.l, till the nightmare that is Asotasi came on.penalty on his first involvement lmao.

Jiffy said there was a "slope on the pitch."
"Clarkson" ?????

Asotasi has upped his game today. It's taking 4 men to stop him. He got the ball out on 2 or 3 of them one leading directly to a try.
Credit where due. He has man upped today.
Steve Roach #2...not quite but an improvement 110%.

I laughed

Asotasi put B.Evans in space twice, gave away a penalty about 6 drives.
a couple of 1st man tackles about 15/20 2nd and 3rd man in tackles.
Most effort i've seen him put in for a while.

Yes credit where it's due he put a lot more effort in today so who knows he could be a world beater by the time we play the semiicon_smile.gif

Big Roy looked ok today. Grix looked very sharp.

Think we picked up a few more injuries, we might end up with a team made entirely of halfbacks at this rate.

Thought Asotasi was much much better and played well.
2 really good offloads and some strong drives.

What's the injury situation? Our pack will be puny next week, only reason it'll be close is if you've got a few injuries!!

Well it was a sort of 'ok' performance I suppose. I suspect the Leeds game may have sapped the energy of some of the players, and we seemed to revert to the form of those early season games where we were making mistakes. Fortunately we were up against a very thin squad who played pretty poorly.

Currie didn't have his best game and looked out of sorts, Rhys Evans was very safe in defence, but lacked a bit of cutting edge. He did work hard though taking the ball up, and I thought England looked good in the first half. I hope Monas has not done his ankle, we seem to lose a player every game we play.

I thought Big Roy had his best 10 minutes today and he was unlucky with the 'shoulder charge' penalty that never was a penalty. England looked better today as well but he really needs to get down to the gym and bulk up a bit

Scrappy I think sums the performance today but to be fair there was only ever going to be one winner we were in total control throughout

A bit mistake ridden at times, but never really looked threatened.
Improvements by Asotasi and England
decent again from Russell.
Some great yard stealing from Hill.
Fantastic to hear Bradford fans singing "You don't know what your doing" at Bentham, when they should have been singing it at their own players.

Leeds. Now that's a hard semi (ooooh errr, missus)

Played alright. Was pleased with the win but feel a bit down about MMonaghan getting injured.

It's a sign of just how sh*t bradford are when we're making Asotasi look good.
