An attendance of near as damn it 5000 against a side that brought a small but visible away following is really really good to see. Especially when you consider it was a higher attendance than a superleauge local derby played on the same day.

TBF a think we got a few more females in the crowd due to the deal that was running but it was a good way of bringing in extra fans while getting behind a good cause.

On Gaskell we seemed to cope ok with him playing a big part due to that knock to the arm he got. I was surprised to see him out there in the second half and he played little part in the game compared to his usual involvement.

Its a better attendance than the last 2 times we've met you at Odsal (1995 and 2012), both attendances those days were nearer 3500.

We got 10 tries in the second half. It's obvious - that Gaskell's been holding us back

I've just watched the highlights on BullsTV - that cheap shot from Groat is a shocker, deserves a few matches for that one.

Ref wasn't for doing anything about it though was he, think the call came from the touch judge repeatedly telling him nearly another cop out

Listening to the BCB commentary on it they missed it completely, sometimes those two can make Stevo & Eddie seem less clueless. The Bulls did well to keep their discipline in a niggley match, lessons seem have been learned since the 2nd half of the first game.
Leigh's result won't slow them down in the run in, but both Coach's will expect tight defences and scoring attacks for the run to get the best points difference from now on.

He looked to go in with a swinging arm and when Gaskell said something he leathered him in the face.

My first impression of the Groat incident was he was trying to reef the ball from Clough (?) and Groat got it wrong his arm came flying out and whacked Gaskell in the face who was jogging back into the ruck area. (This came after a kick off and Gaskell was making his way back from the 40m line)

I'll see if I got it completely wrong on BullsTV!
