Sorry S, I don't agree. I think that we either play Killer or Aekins, and that should be at full back. Don't agree with Joey, he made loads of yards today, and only one lost ball, the second was a strip the officials 'missed'. He gets lots of criticism but Luke charging off to cut out a back field play left him having to defend a 2 on 1 for the first JWH try... not Joey's fault and he would have been slated if he had done that.

Really sorry about that Phil... unfortunately there are a small minority of fans from both clubs that can't let the past stay in the past. I for one, wont go to Fax, reciprocating the boycotting of Fev by the Fax fans, but like the vast majority of Fev fans don't condone that kind of behaviour.

Wow.... just wow. I can't believe some of the OTT comments on the back of only our second league defeat. This was always going to be a difficult game, just the first of 4 difficult away games, and anyone who thought it would just be an easy win because Fax are at Wembley next week.... it doesn't work like that. All Fax away games are hard fought, although recently we tend to edge them. Lets give Fax some credit, not only was JWH the best player on the field, Pickersgill also had a great game, possibly the best game I have seen him play. Right, back to the match. For those who think Chizzy is the answer... The Chizzy from 3 years ago, maybe, but this version of Chizzy is NOT the answer. Neither is Aekins a half back at this level. Both of which I said yesterday. We played Astley, which I think answered one question, Astley or Lacans.... for me Lacans every day of the week. So on to the Davies / Longstaff debate. I didn't think Longstaff had a bad game, certainly got about the pitch, stopped the break away near the end, and set up the try for Killer. He is the future... JD is a club stalwart, everyone loves him and he leaves it all on the field. I think we need to integrate Longstaff into the team, but JD still has a roll to play. So I guess the question is how do we kick on in the last few weeks of the seasons, and into the playoffs... at the moment we are the only team who are definitely in the play offs. We play a narrow defense, but seem unable to switch to a conventional defensive structure mid game, we need to be able to do that because teams have seen where our weakness is. We will lose more games this season, the fact that we had to play 4 of the top six away in the last seven games, it doesn't make us a bad side. We need to be able to adapt during a game, we have the players to do it, I am just not sure we practice plan B. We are not the same side that Leigh were last season, but I am sure that every team in the competition would swap places with us in a heart beat. It will be interesting to see our stats for today, because I though Briscoe was immense today, surely our top metre maker and for me our MOM.

Not convinced that Aekins is the answer to partner Ford in the playoff final, I would play a natural half back, which means Lacans. Aekins is a good player, but not at half back, if everyone is fit. If Chizzy is the answer, I'm not sure what the question is.... Our best side doesn't play Aekins and Kheirallah, it's one or the other, in my opinion. We need to start thinking about the preferred side for the playoffs, and start playing them together as much as we can.

Got to agree... During the game I thought he got a few things wrong, watched it back on FRTV and he got most things right.

Well, I didn't expect that. The race for the playoff places looks interesting and Bradford are not certain to be in the six. They have 3 of the top 4 to play, us at home, and Batley and Sheffield away. They also play 2 other playoff contenders in London and York. Looks like the final 2 places, assuming that Batley and Sheffield stay in the top 4, will be in the balance right until the end of the season. Any 2 of Bradford, Halifax, Widnes, London or York... I'm sure there will be twists and turns weekly. Relegation looks equally as close. Exciting end to the season.

Hau Hankinson Joey

LMS reported as a quad injury, not a knee injury Knowles 50-50 for this weekend, so possibly just a knock. But hey... why let the facts get in the way of a good old saints witch hunt

This.... I see 2 arms wrapped around 1 leg.

Just for clarity, I thought LMS has a quad injury, not a knee injury?

Kheirallah Hau Lockwood

From the timing it seems to have been from the incident that was put on report.

If Bradford use more than 99 players, will they go to 3 digits or reuse squad numbers for those who weren't as good as they thought?

Hau Hall Astley

David Hockney! Keith Mumby! Robbie Paul! Stuart Fielden... Brian Noble..... your boys took a hell of a beating!!

Cozza didn't play, I would assume you mean Taylor.

Watch us have a heatwave...

From the injury update on twitter... Bussey / Hardy - both 3 months but could make playoffs Day - 2 months, should be back for run in. Ford - possibly another 4 weeks Hankinson - taken off as a precaution, in contention for this week. Knew I'd missed one... Moors should be 6 weeks.

Cozza Killer Hau

Well, well.... Fax 5th in the table, Northern 6th.... Who would have thought that!

Keighley beat the Bulls..... your point is?

But he is the last piece in the jigsaw that will push the Bulls firmly into the promotion battle.... Or that is what the deluded believe..
