It’s no surprise Swinton scored their tries down Connor Wynnes side. He’s a fair FB but looked exposed on the wing. I would prefer he get dropped for Tindall rather than DFJ

Looking like, maybe Vella will be referee tomorrow. Aaron Moore was touch judge for the Leigh v Huddersfield game which is now to be completed tomorrow. If the same officials are in charge, which is logical, he won't be able to referee our game as per the ref appointments. Mick Gledhill is suggesting it's Vella to replace him and he's not officiating anywhere else. Mind you, neither is Worsley!!!!!!

Vella is due to ref Ktown v Barrow according to the RFL ref appointments

Confirmed tonight, it's Vella!

Competed, but far too many individual errors, brainfarts and 1 on 1 missed tackles.

Dropping the ball on the first tackle then not numbering up correctly on the scrum was a killer.

Losing Rogers early on was a massive blow in that heat.

Need to do something about goal kicking. Can't keep carrying on with Lilley lottery.

Well at least they didn't give us a hammering.

Re: Featherstone (H) : Sun Sep 03, 2023 4:50 pm  

Interesting. Lot of errors from both teams, some forced, some not. Generally both teams were evenly matched I think. We missed the yardage kick returns from Blackmore. If the aim is still a top 4 finish then we need to cut out those errors. Disappointed that 5 Fev “fans” tried to create trouble and had to be ejected.

Re: Featherstone (H) : Sun Sep 03, 2023 5:03 pm  

Gritty game that we couldn't seem to close out. I felt we were the superior team in the second half but our execution near the Fev line was poor and we put the ball on the floor a number of times in good field position. If the Arundel try is given I feel that we kick on and win that game. If the conversions are taken by Lilley the score is 12-16 with us mounting a charge to win the game. A game of missed opportunities for the Bulls.

The main takeaway is that we competed with the leaders of the league with a prop down for 3/4 of the game. We've beaten Toulouse and beaten our other playoff contenders. Hopefully we can get back to winning ways next week against York and continue to cement our playoff credentials.
