Well heading into a Fax derby with an untested halfback pairing is far from ideal. Only bonus is that Halifax won't have a clue what to expect either!

I suppose if you're going to stick short term loan players in Prop and Wing are preferable positions. Wood is definitely class too I agree.

At least Ott has been training with the lads for a while (and hopefully at half bck with this in mind).

Just been watching the academy highlights from last night and the pitch looks very heavy.

Apparently club is cancelling all the juniors games they have planned for pre match and the LDRL game at half time. The weather has pretty much been as forecast this week, so surprised they have left it so late to cancel.

Last night was horrendous on that pitch. Really surprised they played an academy game on it last night, with a game on tonight as well. Didn't look great at the end at all.

Davies at stand off tonight. That's a bit out of leftfield

A bit leftfield but a good shout.
No Lawernce though

It's a strong looking squad and team, but just feel it's very disjointed and unbalanced. Loan players coming into the 13 and on bench. Davies in the halves? Debuts for Fulton and Ott how up to speed will they be. I worry for the creativity and attacking fluency to really test Halifax. They look alot more balanced with Widdop and Joufrett, Eden on the edges and Keyes on the bench as well as a good option. Not expecting anything pretty, but a win is vital and that's all that matters.

Doro starting despite looking like he tweaked something in the warm up.

Great result that, couldnt get to the game so not sure on the performance, but a vital and very much needed win.

Who do we think went well? And how did Fulton, Ott, Wood, Wilson and Carr look?

Very impressed with Fulton, he looks like he will be a real handful. Ott didn't get much time on the field but didn't let anyone down either. Thought the loanees all did well, especially the forward from Wire. Hope we can keep hold of him for a few more weeks.

Really impressive defensive effort from the Bulls, they scrambled back countless times tonight. Halifax on the other hand looked vulnerable in defence and I suspect if we'd had Gaskell on the pitch they might have been on the end of a bit of a hammering.

Side was more than a bit makeshift but they looked eager and played some decent rugby in tricky conditions.
