How has Chamberlain played? He has to be better than our donkey Marsh.

I like Chamberlain, Very fast and hasn't shirked his duties while he has been here with us. Definitely worth Widnes sticking with him IMO

Chapelhow... looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane. Literally provides nothing for the team. Just seems to go through the motions for 80 minutes. Not sure what Widnes were thinking extending his contract. No where near SL quality and can't see many championship clubs queuing up to sign him

Looks like "Off the Cuff" has got his wish. Chamberlain is in the Widnes squad for this week.

Was never going to stay at Bradford through the Super 8s. Widnes need him as backup and I don't believe he has played enough games to continue "dual reg" as such. The first team he plays for in the 8s, he will be tied to.

Didn't think he was the worse we had, but maybe that's because Batley were quite a fair team TBH. If a team with the thug tactics we saw with Dewsbury, might have been a different story. Think the penalty count was 10-4, didn't think we were that bad or Batley that clean. Don't think we got one "technical penalty" I.E Ref thinks Batley messing about but we got pinged a fair few times for it. Inconsistent.

TBH We did some stupid plays though. Batley could hardly get out of their half in that first half, why we did 3 ball strips god only knows. Was no need. Keep saying it but fines should be issued to players who do ridiculous stuff like that. Coach and team killers.

Oh and the James Bentley no try was a scandalous call. Couldn't tell if he disallowed it for a ball steal or offside but neither were correct. Having seen the replay he was onside and Rettie blatantly loses it cold.

penalty count was 9-7 to the Bulls

No idea where you've got that from.

It was 9-5 to Batley. One of which was in final few moments of game for us.

He's got it from League Express. Which lists the penalty count as Batley 7, Bradford 9.
