Based on today’s changes expect to see Rickett replace Green

Despite everything we were well in the game after 50mins then we seemed to stop playing.

Losing Green was a blow as we were already light on the bench. Why Stephenson was 18th man I'm not sure. Garside or Bustin would've been a better choice.

Forgot about Bustin - where has he disappeared to?

Seems to be out of favour. Played reserves a few weeks back.

One hour of competitive effort - but then 20 minutes of the abject collapse that I had vainly hoped we'd finally seen the back of.

Worrying.

Yeah we competed without looking like we’d win it.

Featherstone weren’t even that good. The amount of unforced errors they made isn’t going to trouble Toulouse or Toronto.

That last 20 minutes though was embarrassing.

Featherstone is not a happy hunting ground for us. We always seem to underperform when we play the Rovers at their place and yesterday was another poor showing from the Bulls.

Chisholm was either going to be anonymous or the star of the show. Fev were also after revenge for the CC comeback win and we never really had enough to match them.

Big couple of weeks coming up with the CC QF, 1895 Cup and Batley league game.

We were poor.

Yeah, that's it, little more to say.

LOL. On page 1 of this thread you were saying how Bradford should "wipe the floor with Leeds' reserves". Now the team that crushed you 42-4 "weren't even that good". Feel your pain, brother.

You weren’t and you’re not. You’re better than us on current form but you’re a world away from Toulouse or Toronto.

I know you’ve signed the greatest player of all time but he’s had more clubs than Seve Ballesteros - none of which have been any good.

Your completion rate on Sunday was 70 odd percent that’s pretty crap.

We were a toe in touch or a knock on over line away from beating Toronto. only needed either of those.

But if we’re so bad as you say then there’s plenty of room for improvement then. Good job we don’t play you again when we’ve got it together and actually play well we could get 80.

All if buts and maybes. Unfortunately for you sports are decided on actual results. Hence why your two points above us and miles off the top two.

Good job we don’t play you again because if when we get players back and don’t have to change the team around 10 minutes before kick off we could beat you for a third time this season. See we’re still on 16 points.

I thought that was Jordan Lilley?

We weren't actually anywhere near our recent best on Sunday in my view, but you telling us how poor our completion rate was after we've crushed you 42-4 probably isn't quite the crushing blow for Fev fans to read that you think it is

Still got plenty of bites though didn’t he.

Maybe so, but getting smashed to a village team isn't half embarrassing.

"Quick, go for the old "only fishing" defence!"

Don't talk yourselves down you won your cup final at the third attempt this weekend fresh after signing a player that once had a few matches in the middle eights for Hull KR!

Gimme six!

Yeah and I could've gone on a second date with Liz Kershaw if she hadn't caught me going through her bins first!

Life doesn't work that way sunshine!

Oh well, that village teams complete capitulation meant we were able to secure a QF place. Given neither team will go up, I’d prefer a crack at getting to a semi and some extra funds for the club.

1-1 in the league which is surprising since you’re a class above and favourites for promotion.

Seeing as none of us are gonna win the cup I’d sooner have a go at going up, finishing as high as possible and earn far more in prize money than a quarter final.

1-1 in the league due to that ref giving that ridiculous try where your player didn’t even nearly score

Agreed it was to say the least very doubtful but thats how the cookie crumbles. Anyway that player is now yours and you seem to be making the best of him - so far at least.

I think the price money is equal this season. Even if its not its nothing like the disparity it was in the eights format.
