Yes Gebbie's ban ends after this game. I think Doncaster have around 9 or 10 out injured too, and at least one in the 20-man squad that they have named who probably isn't fit.

Tough game last night. Bulls clearly below par, Doncaster putting in a massive effort and ruck speed that was painfully slow. Coaching staff seem to believe at least one try incorrectly disallowed and a questionable 2nd one chalked off.


I'd love to see the stats for disallowed tries this year, it feels like we've had plenty chalked off in a competition where without video replays the benefit of doubt would usually go with the attacking side.


Though Hill showed some nice touches and we need to be alert to his offload skills. Keyes now showing some good form and the player we have been expecting to see - need to keep him fit for the final 6 or so matches.


Pleased to see us get over the line, in a game that was starting to feel a bit like Barrow at home when we came up short.

Blimey we got away with that one. Donny the better team for most of the game. I thought Souter sparked things up when he came on. Lawrence and Hill settled things down in the last 15 by running direct.
Terrible ref.

Agreed. We were poor, in patches. We could never create any pressure or momentum as we ourselves, kept having errors, poor ends to sets and wrong last play decisions. But that’s on us, we have control over that. 
What we can’t control is What Donny were doing which was getting the ball out of play at the end of sets we had defended well on, therefore taking away our options to build pressure or momentum. Clever tactics I thought. 
The other factor was the ref. And arguing with him is pointless. All you can do is minimise his opportunities to screw us. 


Strangely, I never thought we would lose that. We’ve a week off now, come at a good time for us.

Watched the highlights. Nothing wrong with Gee’s try. I’ve no idea what the ref saw with Souter when he was penalised and Blake should have had an 8 point try when he managed to score despite his head getting taken off. 


But we won. So it probably doesn’t matter.
