Strange how the teams with recognised top coaches rarely make those simple errors. Show me a team where players say that & it is usually a team in trouble.

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

If the players are making mistakes on the field that means mistakes are being made on the coaching ground. If the same mistakes are being made continuously by the same players then THAT is the fault of the coaches because they are not properly addressing the faults and adapting the training to remove those faults from the players game.
However, the fault is not solely at the feet of the coaches. The player must WANT to learn to improve their game. Otherwise it's all just a waste of time and that player is stealing money from the club.

Basic errors like not finding touch on penalties and taking a man out whilst he's in the air should not need that much coaching. It's just the players making 'Schoolboy' mistakes.
Sammut failing to find touch was one of the reasons we conceded in the 1st half. Next set, they went on to score. If we are to get anything out of a game against Wigan, these mistakes should not happen.
I'm not going to be as harsh on Tom B for dropping the ball so close to the line, this also led to a try but i think he knows this is an area that needs improvement.
The thing i would like to see more in our play is forcing repeat sets. The 'Great' bulls side used to do this every game, tiring the opposition and breaking them down by forcing them to defend repeatedly.
For the record, those that seem to be concerned that some fans seem content at losing by such a heavy scoreline, this is simply not the case. For my own thoughts, i'm not concerned as it's only game 3. We have a new back line, and at times we had 2 inexperienced props on the field, with a centre in the second row. I do expect to do better in future games and if we lose, i hope it's by not as much. But the team we fielded on Sunday was still missing players that i expect to make a huge difference (Elima, Manese, A fit Lulia, Purtell)

How many players were under Potter last season? 12? I would guess that is about the average for teams, especially outside the top 4.
