The feel good factor was indeed sky high and is now very much on the wane.... It is early in the season but we need to be thinking long term consistency and how we achieve that...(Well the coaching staff do). I keep having the same thought of replacing Meadows with Lilley (But ultimately I've found Lilley's attacking prowess frustrating) so I'm not sure that really is the answer....  I like that fact Nobby has put a squad together with a bit of size yet we aren't dominating down the middle and i don't really know why that is.... Hopefully on Monday we can all wax lyrical about our pack's dominance and the deft handling by our halves to release our pacy backs out wide! 

It did cross my mind whether Waine was here because of Appo and losing him unexpectedly has unsettled him. I was expecting him to be a real handful but so far he has been pretty ineffective.


Key for this week is attitude, are the players prepared to try and win every little battle and 1% effort areas? 

Waine certainly doesn't run the ball in as hard as Appo.  Liu looked OK when versus Hunslet before he had to defend at centre.  He runs good lines so I agree,  maybe he's worth a shot.  Do you drop Fulton or Gee?

Bulls 21 man squad:


Guy Armitage
Logan Bayliss
Waqa Blake
James Donaldson
Zac Fulton
Matty Gee
Kieran Gill
Sam Hallas
Luke Hooley
Joe Keyes 
Michael Lawrence 
Jordan Lilley 
Bayley Liu 
Nathan Mason
James Meadows 
Ronan Michael
Jayden Okunbor 
Franklin Pele 
Ebon Scurr
Mitch Souter 
Emmanuel Waine 

Still looks a good team on paper, just translate that to the pitch and we'll do alright.
