Late April is forecast but these are generally pessimistic time lines : so perhaps early April at best and mid April probably

Kearney

Elima

Jeffries

A great win tonight and it was good when i got home and saw what Eddie and the sky commontators were giving us some praise-keep it up Bulls-onwards and upwards.

Jeffries - Gale will struggle to get his place back if BJ can keep this form up!

Manuokafoa - Made good yards with each carry.

Kearney - Try saving tackle on Hohaia and some crucial plays in defence and attack.

3. Diskin



Would have put Elima in but thought Kearney played whole game so gave him benefit of doubt even though Olivier was amazing. GOD we have badly missed his power and defence so far. COYB

I also thought Hargreaves had another fantastic game.

Jeffries. Again. He has silenced his critics in the best possible way. Match winner.

Kearney. Super stint at the back again. Looked safe as houses.

Nas. Looking the real deal running the ball up.



But hard again. Hargreaves another candidate for most improved, Diskin much more influential than you initially realise, Purtell impressed as did Tom, Elima stiffened up the pack no end although so nearly lost it...but like last week they all deserved it.

Jeffries, In his best position...Scrum Half.



Thought Hargreaves again was very good and well played Karl Pryce.

Jeffries, running the show

Elima, much needed aggression

Whitehead, how many tackles?



special mention Hargreaves, one fantastic cover tackle

I could get used to these difficult decisions!



Great efforts all round, but my three are:



Elima - great effort and got under the skins of Saints.

Diskin - superb defence and great directing from dummy half

Bateman - loads of tidying up defensively, never took a backward step going forward. Awesome from the young man.

1. Elima - great aggression. Really stood up to the Saints pack, whereas days gone by, we would probably have said sorry to them.

2. Kearney - ran round all ame, made a crucial try saving tackle and looked solid all night,

3. Jefferies - superb kicking game, keptturning Saints round all night
