Bradford have taken full advantage of a favourable run of home fixtures to generate a feel-good factor at Odsal. The exciting part is that the biggest nights are still to come yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

@Giantsrl Asking the same questions week after week? Leroy playing? He told you last week. No question about whether his position is in jeopardy? No question on injury management? Just poor.

We'll take the point and never speak of that game again

Johnson should have been booked three times. How is he not off. That third one was far worse than Gudmundsson's second yellow

Moments after Dominic Calvert-Lewin's missed penalty, Gabriel Gudmundsson is given his marching orders! 🟥

He's only booked him because he thinks it's a first caution. Never a second yellow. Embarrassing for the ref

@joekirrane I take my hat off to you. I agree. It felt as if they had a real springboard after 2022 as well

@JamesOBYP Thank you. We are in desperate straits. As a season ticket holder living in west London I try to get to as many games as possible and it’s the worst I can remember. We were dubious about tickets this year but remain loyal. There are lots of questions to answer.

@joekirrane I'll hopefully get the chance to do a Q&A with Kelly/Thewlis soon

@JamesOBYP Well written. Have wanted some of these questions answered since last year. Who buys injured players (Evalds)? Or injury prone players (Sutcliffe)? Which club would launch investigations into training surface but not release the results? Biggest salaries? Burgess? Value? No.

This is a miserable experience. We can't see one Huddersfield fan from the back of the main stand and there's only a few hundred below us in the lower tier. Fair play to the Hull KR fans who have made the trip. Rovers lead the injury-ravaged Giants 30-6 at half-time

It had all the makings of a classic Challenge Cup story. Instead, Goole have had to give up home advantage because of delays to their stadium redevelopment, much to Scott Taylor's disappointment yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

Daryl Powell admitted his heart was in his mouth when the Belle Vue floodlights went out before Trinity ensured the delay became part of a memorable Challenge Cup story. Brad Arthur, meanwhile, couldn't think of a single positive as Leeds crashed out yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…

If we're being overly critical, Lachie Miller is too deep for the last play of the half

Very good half of cup rugby in the end. Leeds appeared to be in control heading into half-time, only for Oli Pratt to score on the hooter for the second week running. Rhinos lead 14-12
