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.

Tremendous support from your fans today, easily the biggest away following we've had all year at Odsal.

Good luck for the rest of your cup run, although I would quite like to see a Leeds v Cas final if I'm honest.

Looked like England picked up either an arm or rib injury in the second half by the way he was holding it.

I would like to see Widnes v Wolves final to be honest

I think that would be a rather one sided final.

Shame some of your fans had to resort to hoping Monaghan was seriously injured.

Don't need s**t like that at all.

So would I then I can put to bed this dream I had a few weeks back that Castleford would beat Wire by a try at Wembley.
It's still on, I was hoping that we would draw them in the semi so I knew it couldn't happen, the sad thing is I can't see Widnes beating them.

I thought England had a very strong opening half hour - his ball security and fitness look much better these days and he takes it up well, but does seem to pick up a lot of knocks.

Grix looked good when he came on and it looks like we're gonna need him, and Harrison, cos we're getting a bit low on foot soldiers.

As for big Roy, to be fair he was much better. It wasn't exactly Les Boyd, but it was a bit less Les Dawson.

About Les Battersby, I reckon.

No pal, even big roy doesn't deserve that accolade.

Roy did ok, he at least seemed to run a lot harder, still think some of his defence is lazy as he always looks to be a 2nd or 3rd tackler so he doesnt have to run back the 10.
