Good job I'm typing this as I've pretty much lost my voice. Superb effort from the team. And a great atmosphere, you could just sence the feeling of possibility growing throughout the crowd as the game went on, for the first time in a very very long time I had every confidence we'd get that last try, fantastic.

Also, as othes have said, stuff wakeys results, keep winning what we can, only worry about what we do (like improve defensive line speed, cut out silly mistakes but keep the enthusiasm and belief from today) and we might bring some other teams back into the reckoning. If we show that level of desire and heart, mixed with some smarter play, that will hopefully come with confidence, then we'll give ourselves every shot at avoiding the drop, and make turning up at odsal enjoyable again like it was today and last week. Great stuff.

http://www.superleague.co.uk/report/9977 Massive stats from Sidlow. Is Danny Addy actually a big stand off? Judged over the last 3 years he might just be our best half back and I wonder if he isn't well worth sticking with as probably the most creative ball player in the squad.

I thought Sidlow ran his blood to water. He could hardly stand after being or making tackles before he was taken off, and you could see he would have stayed on if needed. Also thought Diskin burst his lungs with his break and needed oxygen, and like Sidlow he kept making tackles and carries. Addy always plays his heart out where ever he is played. He very rarely finishes a game in the position he started it.

Always Liked Sidlow.He's the type of player you need in your squad put's in a full shift week in week out.
Unbelievable turnaround in the last two weeks and FC must take credit as he took the stick(Quite rightly so imo) when we were getting whipped not that long ago.Another couple of signings--PROP----Three quarter with pace----and we may get out of this mess.
Gaskell now showing his talents augurs well for the future.
Well done all at the Bulls for the last two weeks.Great stuff.

Agree on sidlow puts in a decent shift each week, only thing thats seems missing from him is size, he is tall but not as big as a lot of other props.

Couple of new players, keeping up the momentum, and getting guys back from injuries Nas/jamal, Donno the tackle machine and a few others we are hopefully well on the way.

I didn't see this performance coming, not after the defeat at Wigan two weeks ago. But it was like watching a different team yesterday. We're playing with far more confidence and our error count seemed lower than normal. Our line speed was better too, restricting Warrington's metres in places and there were some hard hits as well. Gaskell was superb.

As I said at the time of the Wigan defeat, these things can go either way and it's to everyone's credit that they've turned it into a positive, though I guess chiefly Franny. I don't think for a second we're going to carry on winning every game but I'm confident we'll be a force to be reckoned with in games.

Of course, other clubs will have noticed the new attitude and will try to compensate, starting with Saints on Sunday, and just as I said before the game against Wire, it isn't a game I have down as one we're likely to get the points from..

Re: vs. Warrington Wolves - Round 11 : Mon May 05, 2014 2:08 pm  

Three plays for me showed that Bradford had changed.....

Gaskell half going for the dummy runner which allowed him to smack the ball from Highams hand.

Diskin with his one on one strip.

Mellor and Bates tackling Waterhouse? One high, one low prevented a certain try, I think Mellor forced the player to knock on.

On another note I saw the young bench and feared the worst.....Mellor and Bates proved me wrong...both were outstanding going forward and in defence too. Give them more game time! They never took a backwards step.

Isn't it great though to finally have a thread like this ?

But the 6 point deduction applied to OK Bulls ltd, not BB2014!
