Thought Hallas was great in the first half. Scooted from dummy half successfully a few times and deserved his tries. Didn't notice him in the second. Who got official MoM? Presumably Keyes or Grant?

Keyes was man of the match.

Very scratchy win today. Chisholm is still a bit off the pace and trying a bit too hard.

Strange game today, none of our players looked like they wanted to be out there. The poor reffing of the 10 meant that neither team had much space to work the ball so it ended up being a bit of a slog on a pitch that still looks heavy.
It sounds like John Kear thought that was nowhere near what he considers to be an acceptable performance either so hopefully he gets them right in training before Friday.

I agree with what has been said so far. I have seen all the competitive matches so far this season and I hoped by now they would be in some sort of form. The York match was really exciting and we were perhaps a little fortunate to get both points. There was a substantial step forward at Keighley but to me today was a step back(even if only a minor one). We looked very disjointed at times and found a few novel ways of handing the ball to the opposition. Having said that I think we were still worth the win but the Bulls need to make another big step up if they are to beat Oldham on Friday.

We looked sluggish and put to much ball to ground. The fluency wasn't there, but that's probably because Pickersgill and Keyes have practiced and played together all season this far. Dane looked in a rush, but.at least he was making breaks. Not terrible but needs to be more to beat Oldham next week.

For my money the highlight from the Keighley game was how they pressured them in every area of the pitch in attack and defence particularly for the first 30 minutes, then played some attractive rugby off the back of that. Today looked like they wanted to play the pretty stuff without putting in a shift. That said like dddooomm I thought Crossley was first class today, Bustin and Hallas also making good yards particularly in the first half. Love watching Chisholm but he looks understandably very rusty.

We won that's the main thing. But the official was the worse I have seen in a long time. The lines men didn't do anything.

We need to be 100 times better next week and the official needs to be on point. Unfortunately I can't go as my son is playing at Featherstone vs Toronto. Bad times.

Maybe it was for Scott Moore...

Being serious for a moment, it was (if I recall the name, apologies if I am slightly wrong) a guy called Paul Fisher who died recently

As well as being Playing Welfare Office, he was also part of Bullbuilder. I'm sure that some on this forum actually knew him (I'm afraid I did not)
