Always satisfying to get one over on Halifax, especially on Yorkshire Day! After a scrappy start, once we wrestled our way back into the game, we never really looked like losing it. Cutting out the early errors made a huge difference, and from there we took control and never let go. Big credit to the forward pack, they really dug in and laid the platform. If the rumours about Chris Hill joining are true, that’ll be a massive boost as we head into the business end of the season.



I thought Ok, Blake, Gill and Armitage were excellent bringing the ball out of our own 20. Their strong carries gave the forwards a breather and got us on the front foot.



Defensively, we were rock solid. Halifax threw a lot at us, but we handled it well. Their fullback looked elusive in broken play, but they seemed to run out of ideas near our line. Early on, they had two or three sets camped on our try line but came away with nothing. Going for two points early doors said a lot about their lack of attacking confidence. Keeping them to just one score all game is a huge defensive statement.



Special mention for Keyes, his kicking game was outstanding. Time and again, he turned their wingers around and pinned them deep with pinpoint kicks. Proper game management. Holmes also looked very dangerous with the ball in hand and was my MOTM.



Another massive test next week against a very in-form Doncaster side. Fingers crossed Oldham can do us a favour tomorrow and finally turn York over!

Good turn around after a nightmare opening 15mins. We really do need to eradicate this now. It was comical some of the errors. Okunbor in particular had me tearing my hair out. 


But credit where credits due. From the 20 minute mark we were near faultless. 


Keyes MOM for me. His kicking was outstanding pinning fax in the corner.

Got out enthused for the first 25mins.  Fax pack made yards for fun. Things seemed to change after Scurr and Michael came on, we were more direct and the defence was transformed.  Thought Scurr in particular made some huge tackles.


Some really good attack too, our halfbacks clicked which really helped.  


Couldn't understand the Fax gameplan to put high kicks up to the tallest players on the field.  We all know Okunbor is slow on the turn and isn't comfortable with the ball on the ground yet they kicked to his strengths.


Great atmosphere and a decent crowd.  

Probably the best 60 minutes of rugby the Bulls have played for a few months now.

Another W notched up and I think if we want to achieve a top 2 finish we have to win all of the last 5 matches to realistically have a chance. Tough asknm with some potentially tricky ties still to come but that's the Championship for you.

Absolutely incredible and hilarious the level bitterness some of their fans have on that board. It can't bring them any sort of happiness being that bitter! It's not even a rivalry of wanting your neighbours to lose a game of rugby. 


Grown men losing their minds and blaming everything on Bradford. Apparently the champ clubs rejecting the TV deal from prem sports, which was worth a packet of crisps is more evidence of rfl/Bradford corruption.
