I think we’ve overachieved this year to be secured in the playoffs with two games to go. Especially after that first game getting tonked at Sheffield I think most of us thought it was going to be a very long hard season.

The aim now has to be to get 3rd or 4th and a home tie. Widnes and Haven will be very tough but we can beat them both. I’d say we were very wasteful vs Widnes at odsal and could have won that game if we respected the ball a bit better. Haven are on fire but they have to travel to us so again it’s winnable and in our hands.

All this depending on the team we can cobble together of course. We will need a lot of bodies back from that Toulouse game to have a chance of beating Widnes or haven

Players talk, there's a reason why Sheffield overachieved in their first few games.

I heard some clubs may not have stuck to the Social Distancing rules early season. Wonder if Sheffield were one of them.

Social distancing rules back then meant that teams couldn't practice on mats, couldn't practice contact, couldn't practice ruck control. RFL were doing spot checks - although likely teams closer to the M62 corridor would find themselves checked a bit more than other teams.
If you think back to that first game, one team had obviously practiced all those things and the other hadn't...

Yeah I think anyone with a brain can work out what went on. They beat us, York and drew against London in the opening four rounds. Theyve won 3 games since then, all 3 against the bottom two and all 3 by narrow margins. Throw in Batleys comments as well, it's disappointing.

Practicing before a game. Absolutely not on but since we started doing it we got a lot better.

Indeed, though I think the point was that the covid regs at the time said they shouldn't have been.

Anybody got a link to the Widnes site to book e-tickrts, nothing obvious that I can see? Or is there another option?

im so really tempted by the above thread to buy into their AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++ undetectable uber forged bank notes (happy days). would mods kindly remove this must 'win' thread.

now below as i just posted (silly me)

cheers .. but i thought i was on to a winner there lol

Are we all buying tickets for the north stand then? Robbing pr1ck5

Very cheeky of the Vikings to slash the prices for home fans but charge the Bulls travelling fans full wack.

Game day. Elliot Kear will slot straight into FB I would think - any other thoughts?

I think kear could have a field day at full back today, I reckon this is pitch perfect for him to run off Danny boy today

Honestly don't know how this type of nonsense continues to happen. And we wonder why crowds are falling across the sport.

On the game I wonder if be might go with Joe Brown at FB and Kear on the wing?

Kear at fb for mine and Myers on wing

Sounds like plenty of errors.

Bulls draw things level as Lilley goes in under the posts.

Vikings 6 Bulls 6

Brough with the drop goal.

Vikings 8 Bulls 9

Dan Fleming...

Fleming concedes a penalty for leading with the elbow and Widnes slot over the penalty. Game over.

Brain Explosion.

If that's the right decision by the ref and Fleming led with the forearm I would not play him again this season. I wonder what his teamates think about that. Bl**dy idiot.

He's been on the edge all year with his discipline. 100% agree, shouldn't be seen again this year.

We sounded absolutely abysmal against an equally poor team. Cannot believe we've managed to lose that.
