Yep looks like the card was for Austin hit on Gale. Though think the RFL may look at the Fusitua hit as looked like contact with head.

To be fair that video is such bad quality it's very hard to see where contact was. Maybe just a case of whiplash from a fair and hard hit. I'm sure the RFL will take a closer look on a better video.

Really harsh yellow for Gale

10-6 HT, Gale in the bin.

Not a bad half considering the side we have out there. We seem to have adjusted to shore up the middle a bit more. Certainly encouraging and we seem sharper.

Can't comment on how we are actually playing but only been 4 down at half time with that team out is pretty good going. Obviously losing Connor (and then the back up full back!) is a massive disadvantage in this game and a worry moving forward but hopefully nothing serious.

poor quality video......but if you freeze it right at the point of contact, there does seem contact with
Littens' head....no doubt Leeds fans will disagree


sure the panel will get a better version

Pretty positive half, thought the hit of Litten was a legal one, really harsh card for Gale, a bit of common sense from Hicks was needed.

Thought we played some nice stuff at times.

Really hope Connor is a precaution.

How old is John Helm commentating?
Seems to have been around since I was in a nappy.

Getting ripped to bits now having held on in the first half. Will be 50+ .

Don't get phased, just take it as useful experience for the season ahead.

really disappointing start to the second half

Disaster of a preseason in my book, would have thought we would have liked to get a bit of confidence in the ranks but comprehensively beaten in two games. Throw in the amount of injuries we have already and its hard to see where our tide is going to turn.

Business as usual.

When you look at the difference in the two sides that each club has out there I’m not surprised the game has got away. Injuries are a big concern for us to have so many

Totally agree. On the back of a poor season, we needed a positive mood going into the new campaign, what we've got is the complete opposite.

Thought we would have looked to play at least 4 games, get some wins under the belt. Falling off alot a tackles.

Need some good news on Connor.

I would hope that for the Wakefield game we'll see Griffin, Sao, Satae, Savelio and possibly Reynolds.

As said, we were already missing 14, and have lost another 2 so far today. Why would additional games help with 10 of our first choice 17 out?

Will any Super League club have played at least four pre-season games?

Lets be honest that 14 arent first teamers so lets not kid ourselves we are missing 14 first teamers. This team would have being good enough to beat a few teams lower leagues puts some confidence in the team and younger players too. To play a young team at Bradford was a waste.

Leeds are playing 5.

I imagine at least two will be almost entirely academy teams.

I forsee a lot of pre-match drinking this season, starting in Wakefied a fortnight today, just to soften the pain.
Wakefield are 11/8 underdogs to beat us first SL game.
If I could ever bring myself to back against us I would be hammering them at the odds.
I do hold onto hope I'll be proved wrong.

Try reading my post. We went into this game with 9 first teamers out and it's now 10.
