What a bloody good half, great entertainment.

One question Riley Who? After the build up he was given has he been on the field?

Ok Mr Beans performance as referee has been rubbish. That being said Fev have been poor

As a neutral I think he’s done just fine

1 It's Ryley
2 He didn't give himself the build-up
3 Created Hellewell's second try, nice chip over the top that forced a goal line drop out, several nice passes that led to Bussey making big metres. That Ryley?

Bradford are at home and battling not just laying down. Our tackling near the line is a bit iffy. 

[GUBRATS]

Take Bussey out , and there's not a lot between them 

Good to see Patten finally playing well

Apart from the penalty before the try is not a penalty simple as and he grounded the ball short. If that’s your idea of fine the bar is pretty low.

Yep, ref's been fine. Thought Bulls' first try was just short but there wasn't much in it.

Be interesting to see if there's repercussions for the late hit on Jacks after passing to Helliwell for his second try.

Hi Horsey, sorry about the spelling, yes I know what contribution he has made,  but as an half he is not injecting himself in the game enough, Fev have enough fire power if directed around the pitch properly to be more positive on the offensive is that not Ryley's job and the reason he is on the field?

He's played fine. It's hard to direct the fire power round the pitch when it's so narrow! It's a different game to everywhere else. None of the half backs have made a huge impact.

JUST on whitewash for me.

[Fevrover]

Bradford want this more then us ,playing with more aggression.

So two mistakes? I think that’s pretty ok, and I thought the ball was on the line

That was better from Ryley
