Listening to BCB I got the impression we did compete for stretches, though without troubling the Fax defence.
I note that coach Toovey is quoted in the T&A saying that the last two tries just 'put a gloss on a poor result', but I'd question that, to be honest. It may be true that we were mostly outplayed during the game, but far too many times this season we've been in the same sort of position, 20-8 (or similar) down, late in a game, and it's been the opposition who have stormed in to score late points. This time it was us, and much as it was too little, too late, it must be some kind of positive.

Highlights now up. We were a bit unlucky with the second Fax try with Peltier turning his ankle directly in the PTB directly before it. Had he been in the line it might have been different. We looked a bit soft up the middle in the second half too where Fax scored the try that won it for them. In the positive side of things we didn't give up. Butterworth handled the step up alright. Had we started better we may have won this. Fax bombed a few chances of their own as well but not the hiding I was expecting.

My honest assessment was that for about 65 minutes Bradford were the worst team that we have faced at the Shay this season, missing your best players and full of kids. That game speaks more about Fax than it does about Bradford, the worrying thing for us is that our coach said we were very good in the first half. Talk about setting the bar low.
