 Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

| Henry offers more pace than Purtell and runs the ball in harder. I love Purtell, but I'm not sure if he has the required speed to play in Super League should we get promoted.

| Well it depends on whether a club just wants an immediate fix for a position or providing the game education and building the players confidence i.e. proving to a player that he can be better than his own perceived limitations.
In this case I am talking about Seika and Uaisele. Seika has not had a fair crack of the whip and been missing for most of the games. Uaisele has his faults in defense but I get the vibe that he could be the product we would want. Take the Volcano for instance, as been mentioned he was not great early on for the Bulls but eventually came good. The other factor that made Big Les the winger he was, Is that he had been able to team up and build an awsome partnership with an equally awsome quality in Hape.
Again Henry is improving but as I said to my mate at the game he just never seems to be able to get himself with a real space. Is that his fault or how he is instructed to position himself in a flat line? I understand that strategy but being the fossil I am, I still go with depth for a larger part of any game.

| I thought Olbison was mom of match Sunday he was awesome so was cough and sidlow! Highlighted how lightweight we are and how we can punch holes in a defence apart from hock and Barlow. I think you mean should be disappointed you didn't win we was very very poor first half you should of blown us away. Having no halfbacks didn't help and there is a massive improvement in both teams! Hope there is some way we can go up!! Had a good chat with a Bradford fan on Sunday knowledgable pleasant guy and I wish you all the best in playoffs apart from against us!

This is generally what happens when you come up against a good side. If the Bulls take that attitude and commitment into the 8's and we have our key playmakers fit then we can give anyone a fair game I would say. Highly doubt two teams will be promoted but you never know I guess.

| Was most impressed with Caro though, huge amount of strength and his long try he didn't even seem to be trying after out paced the chasers

| Pace and strength are a pretty good combination for a winger and he certainly has both. To score 3 on debut bodes well for the future as he learns what to expect from his centre(s).
I wonder if Ryan has been signed for his experience as a centre. With the signing of Clare we seem to have real strength across the backs and I can see several not being retained.

| Just need consistent centres now, Henry can blow hot and cold, Purtell is reliable but no means quick and Ulugia seems to have vanished

Worse, sent to Batley on loan...
Now I can think of a good centre who does seem to have vanished... although I haven't kidnapped him. Promise.

Reports said he had a dislocated shoulder whilst playing for Batley. Haven't heard anything since.

I liked the way he stepped inside to put the ball down by the posts rather than the corner, which you could see on the fbook video.
