Isn't TNW still at Leeds, anyway, I wouldn't consider including him if he is going to keep getting recalled? I'd bring AJ back, give Brown a rest, otherwise I'd leave the team as it was on Sunday, with Ata on the bench if he is fit.

I'd second that Andy. Yesterday we had players playing in their proper positions. Jimmy K., Myles and Lineham knew their roles, and didn't get dragged out of position. This was really noticeable early on when Bradford were moving the ball out wide quickly but couldn't find a way through. Also, Josh D when he came on as replacement hooker looked far more comfortable than he did last week.

No doubt Bradford will blame the referee. I really thought they would be better than that, but we never let them settle. Brilliant today

They had their backs to the wall in the second half, but those girls dont know when to give in. Magnificent defence, and some poor refereeing, but they stuck at it, and got what they deserved at he end.

Terrific respose from the Valks at the end. A game of two halves without doubt, but The Valks don't know what defeat means. To be honest, I thought the referee was poor, his idea of head high tackles seemed a long way from what they actually are. still it seemed okay if you had a white shirt on.

That was outstanding, we made Bradford look very ordinary. If we can play like that every week, we'll soon climb up the table.

The Valkyrie have recruited very well, and have good cover in every position. Most of the squad are versatile and can cover two or three positions without noticeably weakening the team. Sinead and Elisa Akpa missing today, but it is still a very strong squad. Today should be a cracker with both sides wanting to lay down a marker for the weeks ahead.

THe Knights are priced at 5/2 with Skybet to win outright, and get a 12 points star on the handicap coupon. The Valkyrie are 2/5 to win outright with Saints ladies getting an 8 point handicap start. Interestingly both the Valkyrie and the Saints are priced at 5/2 to win the Challenge Cup, with Leeds the evens favourite. I think the Valks are a good shout at those odds.

It is excellent, although I wouldn't class episode 2 in that bracket by a long way!

You'll not be "Nearenough" to get a good view.

The Knights website now has tickets for the Valkyrie semi final available in 2 areas of the ground. Block E is fairly central and where most of our fans sat in the recent Championship game. Blocks 45 and 46 are tucked away in one corner. Hopefully we will get a good following, and all get sat together. I'll be going for Block E.

I thought there were rules which prevented semi professional players playing amateur rugby of either code? He obviously didn't want to play for the Kinghts, and I wasn't sorry when he went, but we could do with him now.

The mens' semi final venues have been fixed, and although it isn't confirmed, it looks like the Valks. could be playing as a double header with the WIgan v. Hull KR semi at Doncaster on the Saturday 18th May. Fingers crossed it stays like that.

Outstanding again. The real stuff starts this weekend, a massive game against Saints, and a rehearsal for the Challenge Cup semi. The girls willbe battle hardened by the time that comes round, they play Leeds the previous weekend.

Thanks for that Andy. There's a lad about that size drinks in our local pub, could it be him? Seriously, I think we need a centre if Dee and Keinhorst are going to be out for any length of time, and also be wary of taking anybody on loan if they are going to be recalled at the drop of a hat. Neither Leeds or Hull had a game yesterday, but allegedly both recalled their loan players who had been named in our match day squad.
