Limit of Bulls vocabulary - forward, forward, forward, off side, off side etc .... monotonously on and on and on. Grasping at straws I think. I thought Bentham marshalled the game pretty well today. Good effort lads !!!

Have you been away at Hull KR this season? It's ten times worse. You forgot Gerrem onside aswell.

Looking at the 9.30pm highlights on sky it looks like Howells 3 week layoff has done him good. Esders took his try well - very determined to score. Lets hope this is the turning point and Randall and Purdo are back next week

Yep, and what a bunch of softies they are too, hardly a sound in anger out of them, wait a minute, that was when we were putting 40 points past them, I can just about remember it, our last win, what a bloody long time ago it was too.

Really impressed with the turn out from Quins fans today considering the distance and the run we've been on.

And the only reason we were lucky was our good fortune to come up against what looked to me like a poor side today. I shall wait before suggesting that's them in general until next week though as there's enough in that team to crush most sides if they feel like it.

He was playing well before the lay off though. I liked the big “don't argue” he gave to the Bradford player for his last effort. Very entertaining!

Yes that's right, we were lucky. Didnt sound so lucky on the radio. Oh how we dont miss Sheriffe, Sykes and Worrincy. Good luck.

I enjoyed the bit on the commentary where Worrincy dropped a pass from Newton and Newton got well upset with him. Anyone who can upset Terry Newton that much can't be all bad.

Not the most exciting match but a well deserved win for the Quins and not lucky at all as far as I'm concerned. We made a slow start but ultimately Bradford were made to pay for only scoring four points in the first half when they had most of the play. I thought it was a fairly similar sort of game to our win at Castleford right at the start of the season.

The one area I felt they were superior was in Deacon's kicking on the last tackle. His bombs were always challenging and his grubbers were generally weighted to perfection and not overhit into touch. By comparison this area of our game seems to have been lacking for more years than I care to remember no matter who the playmakers are.

We still lack a bit of creative spark without Purdham & Randall, arguably the best two players we've got, but we should be confident of another win next week after this.

Famous last words…

Bradford have put in some of their best performances away from home and with nothing to play for and the pressure off I think it could still be a tough test. We seem to make a habit of producing results in adversity, then fluffing our lines in games we are expected to win.

You're right. I really ought to know better by now!

Whilst i agree we have a great ability to blow perfect chances a win next week, by say 20 points would put is into 5th with another home game against salford coming up, the future suddenly looks a lot rosier..................
