Mentally weak. Tactically naive. Also looked unfit. Struggled to complete a set of six all day. All fans ask is for a team to do the basics. We didn't do that under McNamara and we didn't do that today. That said the Dragons played some superb handling rugby. Mind you it helps when the opposition can't tackle a fish supper. Depressing.

How long do Bradford need to remain bad ? At the current rate of progress we'll only get back into the play-offs if they let 12 teams in.

Tore apart out wide everytime, we need vast improvements in the backs.

Just got home....

Basically, not good enough. Poor completion rate, soft in the tackle and woeful in decision making. We are killing ourselves with elementary errors e.g Jeffries allowing himself to be tackled into touch, Diskin doing a forward pass off the first tackle of a set after a penalty.

The backs have zero cohesion, when compared to a well drilled team like Catalans. Whereas they looked like ripping us open every time it went out wide, we looked laboured and clueless. Platt was especially poor in this regard, whilst Ah Van doesn't even seem to be bothered anymore.

We're probably not going make the 8 now, and frankly we don't really deserve to. I fear we're in for another clearout over the close season, with the first half of next season being a run of defeats accompanied by the 'we need time to gel' mantra. Sad really, I had hoped for a sixth or seventh placed finish this year and a very few strategic changes over the winter.

That said, I was very impressed with Catalans. Well done to them.

You do look a bit of a mess.
Position wise you seem to be all over the place,subsequently your defensive line is a dogs leg at times.
Your attacks even worse, you would have swore you were two men down at times.
I think but for the grace of God(Mcmanus?) we could be in your position.
Odsals a money pit, subsequently your player recruitment has steadily gone downhill.
A real lack of quality,and Its hard to see a way out unless you have some very good juniors comeing through?

Could we have just seen possibly the most incompetent performance ever?
The opposition down to 12, so a great opportunity to take the ball wide on every set to make gaps. But no, lets bang it up the middle into their huge forwards so they can smash us. Genius.
And then on defence - they do exactly the opposite, everytime. And we forget to tackle. Pure genius.

One man advantage and what do we do? Keep trying to drive down the middle.

Do we try and get the ball out wide and across the park, to stretch the defence and take advantage of the man advantage? Do we bollox.

Do we look like we know where we are and what we are doing? Do we bollox.

That game was there for the taking. Yet, again, we contrived to find a way to lose. Even if it was against a Cats team that looked well-drilled and knew what they were about - especially out wide.

Can't see us making the playoffs. And we don't deserve to.

That's almost exactly what I said. Great minds and all that...

We dont have a SH capable of getting the ball outt wide. There's your man Marc Herbert again. Get rid of him. Absolutley flat as a fart, no organisation whatsoever.

Are they, Mick? Are they really?

Our mentality is wrong though, totally. We are the Andy Murray of rugby.

dont think the mentality is wrong, i just think some of the plays are mental.

silly panic off-loads, running in touch twice, forward passes from dummy half and more

another thing why do players persist in trying to palm the ball down from the play the ball ? twice we conceded tries on the second set of six because of this. its brainless , the only way the ball is going to go is forward so if we do pounce on the ball its either a knock on or offside
