absolutely ... had too much to do to win it, a draw we shoud have never been involved with. huge step back, all will be forgotten though if we make the 5 but these games we SHOULD be winning. Swinton though, great character and determination

if it wasnt for duel reg or loans, swinton would be no where near. makes results so lopsided. look at york, they are there on merit and dont have to rely on handouts

No handouts at Swinton. Just astute management and impressive coaching. Swinton wont go bust as certain teams have in the past few years.

I just don’t get it - we get a winning side together then start putting 3 hookers in the team? Interchanges were a nightmare today, moving everyone around again. It beggars belief, why can’t we just stick with the same team in their preferred positions. I almost think he has favourites and does whatever is necessary to keep them in the squad - in position or out of position and everyone else has to make way! Saying that I thought Hallas, Kirk and Webster played well!

we are not big enough for the championship ... we've seen wins with 3 forwards(props) on the bench. from the team sheet today we were looking light

It's a strange one. My recollection is that Kear has generally favoured a big pack of forwards - 4, sometimes even 5 props in the 17.

Yet we keep reverting back to playing with three props. I know Green and Crossley are injured, but we had Bustin and Wood to call on today.

Kears post match is brutal ... this should ringing in the dressing room ... 6 games to go and its still in our hands

In All the time i have been to Bulls home and away matches i have never had any confrontation with the opposing team, until today.
As i was walking up the terrace where i stand every home games past the Swinton supporters a supporter grabbed me and about 3ins form my face said "how far forward was that F£$^ing try, to which i replied "there has been forward passes all game mate don't let it get to you" and continued to walk up the steps.
Close to the top of the steps another supporter stepped in front of me blocking my path and said "you have been embarrassed to day" to which i replied "we weren't the team who were 22 points in front and ended up with a draw and pushed past him.

So to all the Swinton supporters at the match today you have made a lasting impression on me and NOT a good one.

Which players were on dual reg?
Their kid who went the length of the field near the end, Matty Ashton, was very impressive. I assumed he would have been a dual reg player but I don't think he is, only 20 years old and has already signed for next year with Swinton. Wouldn't have minded signing him but fair play for staying loyal to Swinton.

As someone else has said, York dropping a point today has meant that the draw isn't that much of a disaster. Out of the 5 teams above us I think York are still the ones we're most likely to be in with a chance of catching because their run in is so brutal. However everything is going to rest on next week's result - if we go and get a win then I think we'll do it, but if York beat us then it's most likely over with a 6th/7th place final standing.

You know what's going to be happen don't you? We'll hammer York next week - then blow it by losing to Rochdale!
