Great win. Great character. Well done to all involved, especially Coleman who had to put up with a lot at the start of the season.

The players deserve a big crowd next week, they are a group worth getting behind. On all of us ‘regular’ supporters to do our bit too and try and bring someone else along.

Great result! Didn't expect that fight back, and it should put a few more "bums on seats" next Sunday 😀

Could only listen to West Yorkshire radio - no idea why 

obviously biased commentary but we did well to win that

not sure of mom as commentary didn’t give a lot away 

suspect it could be fozzard/ Gilmore §?

Just got back from the game, with very few finger nails left.

The effort today was immense, but some of the decision making was poor on our side. I do think we were hard done to with some referee calls. Anyway, two points on a difficult day and the character of this team was there for all to see.

Players that stood out were Owens, Lloyd, Johnstone and Lyons for me.

The gains Llyod made after first collision were really impressive.

Next week will be interesting with Wakefield playing Sheffield.

Well done to all those that travelled.

Brilliant win, everything seemed to be going against us and to turn it around and win in that style just makes it x10 better. Looks like we might have to borrow some wire players soon with langtree and Gregson out now, hopefully we can keep the good form. UP THE VIKINGS!!!

2 wins in one season at Odsal is always pleasing!

Very promising start to the season and a bit of a buzz back now which is imperative!

Hope they are not out for too long especially Langtree. Move Roby into centre and Lloyd to back row for now. This dual with Warrington is shite.

@pascal just seen Coleman’s interview both have shoulder injury’s and look to be out for a few weeks so he expects us to be using the dual reg for centres.

I will listen to it later. Seems he not a big fan of Roby, but hopefully get some quality dual to cover for a few weeks. 💪👍

Great win, but if our decision making in the Bradford 25 would have been better it would have been comfortable.

A win and a narrow defeat away at two of the Yorkshire big guns shows us what this team/ group is capable of. Let's keep rolling forwards.

The game hinged on the incident twenty minutes in when a professional foul deprived us of a certain six points. At 12 up we could have breezed through the rest of the match. As it was Gilmore fluffed the easy pen and we failed to capitalise on the sin bin punishment. For the next forty minutes we were on the back foot. Somehow we seemed to find a new gear ten minutes from time while Bradford wilted. Top marks to the fitness coach and to Gilmore for redeeming himself with two cool drops (he also fluffed a short kick off when we were desperate towards the end). Bradford must have been gutted. 

We missed Langtree after his early departure but also the absent Walker. Murray was again impressive.

Great win, thought we were going to lose at 13-6 down with just 10 minutes to go. But we hung in there and didn’t give up, unlike previous seasons, and scored a good try, and 2 drop goals from Gilmore, the second one was really good, from 30-40 metres out, with 2 minutes to go. 
The Bradford fans can’t blame the ref, he disallowed a try for us for a forward pass, that didn’t look forward, and gave us 2 penalties all match, I lost count of how many Bradford were given, and losing Langtree after about 10 minutes.
They were saying afterwards that he had gone to hospital, and they had tried 3 times to put it back, but hadn’t succeeded. Hopefully they managed it. Think it shows our never give up attitude this season. 
We should win the next 2 matches at home, giving us 7 wins out of 8, a lot better than quite a few people thought.

The home games won't be easy, Doncaster have a fair squad tbh. I don't know how heavy Ollie Brookes is these days but he did play second role iirc and he looks considerably bigger these days and would still be quick!

The danger with Langtree is that it becomes a repeating injury, sadly. Need to get our recovering prop on the as scene soon as!!!!

Can Brookes play centre? He's big enough.
