Quote: Fully "Whilst it was a superb achievement finishing 7th in 2009 (corrected), I do believe that the reason we finished so high was due to the fact that Wire and Hull were particularly awful that season.'"
Agreed. You could equally say that Bradford have underperformed for the last couple of seasons and if they get their act together they will be in the mix for the top 8 next year so we could have a solid season but find ourselves in 10th without doing a great deal wrong. But that's being overly negative
I guess you have to look at our season in context and realise that we have done ok. We had a huge slice of bad luck with the number of injuries we had in one position - prop - which was undoubtedly the big difference between our results in the 1st half of the season and the 2nd.
