I assume Lilley will be given the weekend off as he's just had another kid. He's kept himself busy this off season.

Lilley's enthusiasm obviously extends beyond the pitch.

Tindall at fullback might be a good shout. Also Gill and Arundal have both looked a bit shot at times so maybe we'd have McDonnell on the bench as centre or backrow cover?

Been poor there when I’ve seen him for leeds if he was going in over someone be a hard call but I’d say DFJ

Blackmore had a better game vs Widnes but he's still not convinced me. Makes a few errors and when he ran in for that try he showed he's not the most nimble (he messed up a similar chance vs Whitehaven). That said he takes some tough carries.

I think I'd give DFJ a run at the back. Gets up well for a short lad and is safe under the high ball and he's an evasive runner who could exploit the space if he backs up well. Not shy of making a tackle but that could the the breaker against Toulouse. Who ever is there is going to have a busy afternoon

Well did anyone else expect that?
Was waiting watching score updatesz looks like the fight is there now which we lacked last year.
How did everyone do as I didn't hear anything of it

Wish I'd known about Bradford having two teams then I wouldn't have gone seen the bad one in York

What the hell? I'll look forward to hearing from the people who went today. Were we magnificent, Toulouse poor, bit of both? What a cracking result that is!

Re: Toulouse (H) : Sat Feb 25, 2023 3:05 pm  

They were very good 1-17 Arundel having 13 players pants down to score was a personal fave

We were good. Intensity was there, aggressive defence was there. Toulouse started slow and expected us to crack. When didn’t, they applied some pressure and again, expected us to break. We kept going toe to toe, their discipline went, one of their yellows should have been red, we applied pressure and they cracked. Our kicking was on point, Dec controlled things but basically, our pack was on top for large parts of that game. COYB
