I thought you showed great spirit and never gave up, Lilley was very good but I think Pryce has definitely seen better days. Great away support and for me a result you can build on,

Having four first teamers from Wakefield didn't seem to help Dewsbury. Well and truly stuffed by Rochdale.

Perhaps that shows that building a strong club culture is better than relying on Dual Reg imports who will be off back to their parent clubs tomorrow?

Seriously worried that Rochdale will be up for giving us a good beating next week.

Great turnout from you guys today and vocal as always! Thanks also for the respect you showed during the tribute to Colin Hutton. Despite the result hope you enjoyed the trip over.

I don't think any championship team will stuff you with the spirit shown today, equally I don't think there is any real danger in you going down. I was impressed with the travelling support and the team effort. There was an all in it together spirit that really shone through. A credit to the club IMHO. I think the only danger for next week is the emotional high from all the preseason ups and downs and finally making the first game, which is some achievement considering all the difficulties you have had to deal with.

As for my team, a good start with lots to build on. I think both teams showed that this was the first competative game together with both sides fielding a new spine. Encouraging green shoots on display from both teams though.

Sounds like it was a commendable effort and the scoreline was better than I expected. Important that we maintain that level for teams that we have a realistic chance of beating though. Rochdale had a terrific result today so they will be full of confidence on Sunday, hope the rumour of further experience coming before next week materialises.

Really good effort by the bulls players and fans, I thought when that kick off didn't reach the 10 and we got a penalty on half way i thought you would fold and we would run in 3 or 4 more try's but you dug in and scored a couple of break away try's, Jordan Lilly was good for you, that big no10 ran strong him and Mitch Clarke had a decent battle,
Out of interest all the ex bulls players on display why did danny addy get boo'd from you lot?

We have a few numpties in the fanbase.

Re: Round 1 vs. Hull KR - Game Thread : Sun Feb 05, 2017 6:10 pm  

Addy always seemed to get an unfair amount of stick. He was frustratingly inconsistent for us but we didn't help him or ourselves by constantly switching him between positions. Still can't believe that Hull KR have one of the best support FB's stuck out on the wing, what a waste.

Re: Round 1 vs. Hull KR - Game Thread : Sun Feb 05, 2017 6:17 pm  

Will take that result.

Great effort all round. Just really needs some more forwards. Quite a few soft tries to concede but heads never really went down. I think we'll win more games than I was expecting if the effort is like that.

Hull KR were decent. Did what they had to do. Probably top the league but will have much tougher tasks than Bradford at home this season.

I think you can see why quinlan is fullback though. We use the FB position as an extra pivot, which I'm not sure if moss can do or not? A supporting fullback is great, depends on your style of play though and it wouldn't suit us.

Thought he looked decent on the wing mind, very fast.
