Bradford are a rabble today.

Bradford are a rabble today.

That's probably the best they have defended all year, their attack is woeful though. I'm worried they may get exposed on the firmer grounds during the summer.

I haven't seen them this year at all so will take your word for it. Wrote the post when it looked like they were about to be absolutely hockeyed but they did well not to let the flood gates open too badly

Huddersfield 17-16 St Helens
Wigan 36-12 Catalan
Hull FC 14-10 Wakefield
Hull KR 36-0 Widnes

All FT

The Giants are doing well this year. Beaten Saints and Wigan. Good shouts for top 4. Possibly top 2.

Dragons i think found their level, not quite as good as the top teams, but definitely good to make the top 6 easily.


Sat, Warrington played horribly but got the win in testing conditions. So i'm happy about that.

Think that result says more about Saints than Huddersfield, but I expect they'll both be in the mix come September time.

Will Widnes win a game this year?

Leeds - Wire should be a good one

Thank god that BJB try wasn't given like the commentators wanted.

Wouldn't have even been an issue if they hadn't needlessly changed the rules regarding cornerposts.

 

[Didgi]

That's some dodgy defence by Leeds, Chris Hill barges over.

On the back of a bullshit penalty though, Brent Webb was penalised for having a reputation while Westwood tried to make mash of his face.

 

[Didgi]

The customary high-shot penalty against Brent Webb results in points. Seriously, he gives them away every week, you'd think someone would slap it out of him.

 

[Didgi]

That's a bullshit decision for mine, I wasn't too happy with the one at the other end either, thought Myler had run him onside.

 

[Evil Homer]

Liam Hood gets his second try in about his 10th minute of first grade RL.

 

[LeedsStorm]

Saints in crisis?

Leeds youth coming to the fore. Impressed by hood, watkins and hardaker. What is happening with Atkins? No England place, withdrew from England selection last year. Macnamara holding a grudge or are there issues behind the scenes? Wireman?

I only saw the second half but Warrington copped some bad decisions, disallowing Myler's try was a joke, that was a deadset try. Briers' pass to Atkins wasn't forward and Peacock dropped the ball cold and got a penalty out of it.

A few points for me were Jamie Peacock gets dominated when he takes the ball up now, wire will hope that Ratchford isn't badly injured and great to see Watkins finish his try like he did.

 

[Evil Homer]

London get their first win. 42-16 over Castleford.

Also Catalans 40-18 Salford.

Go Witty and the Broncos!!!!

 

[JasonE]

I didn't see the game but happy to hear Karl Pryce played well for Bradford Bulls, if he consistently played to his potential it would be great news for the Bulls.

Would like to hear how Sarginson played for Broncos.

Pryce didn't play that well. He scored a walk-in try but was criticized by Carney during commentary for not getting involved enough. Pretty typical performance by him really. Sarginson scored the decisive try on his return from injury, the radio commentators seemed to think that he had bulked up and looked a lot stronger than last season.

 

[roughyedspud]

just watched that game..thought pryce looked slimmer/leaner than last season??......still a bigger waste than his brother though.....a 6ft 6 & 120kg english winger!!!.....he should have 30+ test caps by now #-o

 

[roughyedspud]

and widnes beat wigan..........37-36 :lol:
