| Our destiny and our plums are in our hands, London's hands and Featherstone's hands, it would be bloody typical to excitedly limp into the Top 4.
Anyroad, I'da thunk this was a perfic chance for a spreadsheet FA.

Well if we'd won today, we'd only be 1 point off a top four place with both Batley and Halifax having to play one or both of London and Leigh as well as both playing Featherstone so either of them losing a game would give us a chance of making the top 4.
After losing today, it's a much, much harder task, especially as the outcome is not in our hands solely.

| After seeing you 3 times vs Leigh this season I really don't understand how you are where you are!
A draw at Odsal and 2 late Leigh winners at Summer Bash then again at the LSV.
There hasn't looked much between the sides at all and yet Leigh are 13 points ahead in the League Table.
Is it just a case of Bradford raising there game when they play Leigh? As I think you would have beaten pretty much anybody else in the Championship on today's showing.

| Well against my better judgement I decided to brave the match today. Frustratingly a huge improvement on what we've seen for the vast majority of this season. Why couldn't we have shown that much effort last week or indeed a little more often throughout the season?
Lacked quality in attack on their line and blew a few good positions in that 2nd half to win the match. Probably deserved at least a point from that performance but I guess that's what you get for not having halfbacks. Scrambling defence was good in the 2nd half and Moss looks like he will be a great player for us.
Relying on a lot of luck to make the top 4 now, mathematically still possible but realistically we need a lot of results to fall our way.

Take a tip from a Clown, never walk into a Lions cage backwards, there is still hope,remember April Ashley.

| Let's not get carried away, it was a better performance not a good performance. Yet again decision making at key moments let us down, composure when it mattered dribbled away - oh for a play maker. Unfortunately l also have to question why Rohan persists with Addy in his customary role, trying too hard or simply not good enough - the latter on today's performance. Unusually as others have improved Addy has got worse, also don't think fully fit today. This season could have been so much more with a little application and direction. Shield games look likely....the bell begins to toll.

| Best 2 things addy did where the grubber for mellows try and the hoof which marched us 40m down field after a penalty.
Thomas had a good game and his kicks to the touch line where we'll judged, though haggard you put some decent kicks in also, can't wait for Chisholm to come he and Thomas could work well together, not sure if we will miss addy past2 weeks be has not played well.

His long pass for our 1st try was sublime to be fair.

| Don't post often but I thought we annoyingly played well today! Annoying considering we could be home and hosed if we played like that, or even 80% of that, every week.
As I said earlier in the season, the HB was always coming just in time for the middle 8s... As the Bulls said last season, we learnt lessons for the mpg loss and would implement them over our 23 game pre season. Unfortunately us fans have suffered by this pre season mode and we have shown we don't have the quality to coast which ultimately cost Jimmy his job.
We are now putting together a decent looking side, and with some luck on the injuries, we may have sneaked the mpg again but we have left ourselves short of the top 4 and might pay the price of resting on the laurels.
Thought the lads gave everything today. We shouldn't be so far behind Leigh but we are! Addy started poor but got better until he had his right eye completely shut for him and was clearly struggling to see ie why he stopped and did the 360 turn.
