Really makes me laugh. Bradford wanted to cancel today's game and play Toronto as you didn't think we were capable of giving you a game with the intensity you needed.
Craig Lingard must have had a very easy dressing room talk with the Keighley players.
I'm glad to see a team in Bradford playing rugby league but with the 12 point deducted I think championship 1 is beckoning.
Whichever league you plying your trade in next year I hope we're in it together because the crowd today was fantastic.

You thought anyone on this page would be interested why?
You haven't just won the challenge cup..
Gloating usually comes round and bites hard

I don't think you'll find many of us that would disagree with that.

Really?
The whole of Bradford wanted to cancel todays game - no wonder you were laughing - everyone in Bradford wanted to cancel todays game but it went ahead anyway.
That's hysterical; stop it, stop it, my sides are splitting.

Yes I'm sure you want us to be in the same league as you - we bring quite a few fans, which is money into your teams pocket - cant blame you for wanting that.

You do know that today you only just beat a ramshackle team who have had less than two weeks training together - thats not really that high a bar to beat is it?

I'm happy to keep Mr Hicks on this forum, keep talking to him and then he will stay here.

Enjoyed today, 'what's it like to see a crowd'. Well yes pretty good actually I'll be honest. Hopefully we get some more game time together over the next few years. Championship looks pretty big ask next year, but the fight is on and if you manage it fair play.

Balls to super league, who needs it.

Thought Nathan Kitson for Cougars changed the game. Number 4 I think? Played at Hooker when he came on.

Onto the Bulls. Peltier was good but unfortunately him and Magrin cannot do it all on their own. It showed today that we need Joseph. We look light, although I was impressed with our Number 12's go forward! Again loved how the young lads got stuck in when Pryce got his head taken off.

Attack was a lot better this week than last week. Defence was okay.

Halafihi made some poor options in that first half which (had the right option been taken) could have taken the game away from Keighley. Thomas was poor. What the bloody hell was he doing when they kicked through and scored? Looked like he planted his feet. Everything does run through Pryce at the minute although I think Keyes will have more of a say as we play a few games.

All in all. Good run out for the lads. Need Joseph and Foster! All loans should be forwards. And it was a good chance for Toovey to assess his squad.

Pleased for kitty was speaking to him last night. He is a better player than halafihi his distribution from acting half is better than most even super league hookers when I say that. Left or right always to hands. Glad he played well even at the expense of us

He upped the tempo of the game (which you and I have known he does for years!) and as you say distribution was spot on. Well taken try as well, showed his support play which has always been top notch! Agree with you, pleased to see him play well even at the expense of us haha!

Halafihi was so poor today. And I do worry that he's our back up to Joe Lumb! I wanted him to go well today too and prove he can be a solid back up. One of them needs to develop a running game though otherwise both will be predictable. That's what we lack without O'Brien, the runs from dummy half which put us on the front foot a lot.

I'm not gloating about anything.
I just thought it was disrespectful to try and cancel the game because you wanted tougher opposition.
Thanks to all the fans that traveled which will have put money in both clubs pockets as it was a shared gate.
I hope we make the championship and you stay there but I said I thought it was a tough ask.
The reason I would like to see both. Lubs in the championship is bigger gates and better standard of rugby.
Good luck to both teams for the coming season.
