No different to a Barrow defeat to be fair.

Quite a few bulls fans blamed the ref despite there not being many controversial calls. I stated it's in their Yorkshire DNA that they blame the ref when they lose which the accepted. If that game is played 10 times bulls win 9. It was our character which for us the win.

We won that game with nothing but character. The amount of ball they had in the 2nd half they should have won by 30 but we tackled our hearts out. When they went ahead with 10 mins to go it's absolutely miraculous we found the energy to get over the line. Great day for the club.

He literally missed the birth of his child on Friday to play for Canberra. He agreed to retire from Canberra as he didn't want the club to lose some of their upcoming talent. He rang the CEO of Canberra and explained his body feels great and he would like to go to Super League but won't play for another NRL club as he couldn't play against Canberra. Canberra are currently top of the NRL and there's a good chance he gets recalled to origin out of retirement due to his form. He's played over 300 NRL games barely been injured in the front row and treat like a god at Canberra due to how he approaches his life on and off the field. I stand by my comment with is a fantastic overseas signing.

Rumours circulating in Australia he's off to St Helens on a 2 year deal. He's 33 currently but still performing at an extremely high level and being rumoured to be recalled to origin. Canberra don't have the cap space to pay him properly and he has said he would never play against the Raiders hence Super League being the only option. I think most NRL clubs will have signed him. One of the better overseas signings in recent years if it comes off.

Their team is pretty stacked but we have a good record against the bulls and although they have been winning games they haven't been blowing teams away. To win we have to be at our very best otherwise we will get beat. I really liked the look of the team on Sunday and hope we can field something similar. Bishop in the halves provides much more of a threat due to his running game. Wood and Smith compliment each other well. Walker is better in the middle being used as a ball playing 13 to draw the middle in and distribute it out wide. Hopefully we get a big crowd after last weeks win.

Conceded a last minute try to draw 24-24. Based on Facebook we played the second half with no bench after being 14-0 up after 30 mins. A draw at Batley is always a good point no matter what. We have a 2 week break then Toulouse away, hopefully we can assemble a good side for that game. 2nd in the league after 9 rounds so lots to be positive about.

Another tough game but it's one we can really do with winning. Squad looks pretty strong just missing King and Walker but apart from that it's full strength and looks tricky to pick a side. I am going to guess Walker goes to 13 with Bishop and Johnston in the halves but have no idea. Batley started pretty well but their form has been pretty poor recently getting beaten by 50 last week at Sheffield and getting beaten at home to hunslet so it's definitely winnable. Not expecting a win though as I think every time I've expected us to win at Batley we have been sent packing with our tail between our legs.

We definitely deserved the win, I was just saying their team was better on paper. I felt our spine won us the game with kicking and control. Doncaster had more muscle all over the park but we played smarter and better rugby. All of Doncasters points came from intercepts or brilliance from Rhys Lynne.

How are people feeling about Doncaster visiting on Sunday?

I felt there was only 1 kick he missed that he should have got (2nd penalty in the second half). The 2 other kicks in the second half I think Shawy would have nailed but they weren't easy. Craig Hall is one of the best kickers in the game and he went 1/4 which shows you how tricky the conditions were. If Shawy was kicking he would have probably got at least 4 extra points maybe 6. The 2 missed kicks in the first half against the wind were practically impossible. Ryan Johnston is a better kicker than Brad but I think he's nursing a groin injury. I'm unsure who you drop to get Shaw in the team though as our back 5 have been outstanding all season. -

Won 24 - 19, it was a weird game. First 30 minutes we looked very comfortable against the wind but conceded 2 80m intercepts following our errors and were 10-8 down. Last 10 of the second half we made 3 unforced errors which led to them scoring a try and getting a drop goal which meant we went in 15-8 down. We then controlled the second half but Brad Walker missed 2 penalties (1 difficult 1 he should have got) hence we never got out to a 2 score lead. I always felt we were going to win. Curtis Teare was MOM in my book. I didn't realize how good their side was on paper so it was a good win.
