1 win in 5 games. Whitehaven struggling on and off the field.

Lawrence, Doro, Taufua and Myers look set to return. Big response needed from the Bulls.

I want us to put a cricket score on them. Might sound arrogant, but our lack of killer instinct is why we let teams back into games. Others manage it. Whitehaven are sturuggling to even put a side out, we're at home and need to reset the season.

We look to have some experienced players coming back for the crunch part of the season, so if we can place ourselves in a good position in the play-offs, we can have another strong year.

No surprise to see Gill out, he looked crocked in the Barrow game and think we've been playing him injured.

With a few more back from injury we ought to show a lot more improvement. Will be interesting to see if the players have the discipline to stick to the gameplan rather than go off the boil when they think the job is done.

I really hope we do see some improvements this weekend (tighten up our defense and keep our foot on the gas in attack..... With no infuriating collapses!) We have been pretty disappointing against teams further down the table and a big score tomorrow is long overdue. Looking at the league table, (aside form Wakey) it's very close and our points difference could be the difference between a home and away fixture come the end of the season..... As usual anything could happen.

Whitehaven have set up a GoFundMe page for anybody that would like to donate and support during this difficult time:
GoFundMe Link

I am also led to believe that the Bulls will be doing a collection during today's game as well.

Peopshi featured for the reserves yesterday so he's out for today. Whitehaven have only named a 19 man squad with quite a few loan players.

I'd go with:
Holmes
Lehmann
Myers
Okunbor
Taufau
Sammut
Lilley
Bayliss
Souter
Doro
Fulton
Davies
Lawrence
---
Appo
Pele
Ott
Mason

Men against boys from start to finish.

After a few weeks of below par performances against Widnes and Barrow it was good to see the Bulls get back to winning ways in emphatic fashion. We secured a comprehensive win against a Whitehaven side that’s been having a tough time both on and off the field. Our forward pack was nothing short of dominant and set the perfect platform for our backs to shine. Pele, Appo and Doro were devastating against a tired Whitehaven defence. Their hard work up front created all the space we needed to run our plays and put points on the board. I'm adamant that we play so much better when Lawrence is on the field as well. His return is very much welcome!

Sammut looked good and created some good opportunities and took his try well. Taufua and Okunbor were like a pair of extra forwards and helped gain us some decent yards coming away from our own line. Towards the end I felt we overplayed slightly in an attempt to chase the 60 point margin but overall we played well as a team. I was also very happy that we managed to keep them scoreless, a first for us this season! If my stats are right, that is the first time we've nilled a team at home in 5 seasons (Bulls 62 -Widnes 0, June 2019).

MOTM: Doro

Let’s keep this momentum going against Featherstone!
