Had we got all our conversions there would have been a 6 point ball game. Perhaps very flattering but we'd still have been in the game. While there are some concerns it's not quite as bad as all that.

BTW the final Reardon try was not 50/50 at all. It was clearly a try if you keep your eye on the ball.

'Had we' is never ending really, at the end of the day we didn't get our conversions and as I said we were never in the game. Hudds also bombed two chances and the final score could have been much less flattering. We had our chances but weren't good enough to compete on the night.

As you say coulda, woulda, shoulda. We lost by 12 - not a cricket score. I'd say we were in the game when we pulled back to 16-8 this wasn't a quins/wire style thrashing. Unfortunately in the second half we came out of traps like a 3 legged asthmatic tortoise and conceded the Fa'alogo try but it didn't end the game as a contest, we competed until the end otherwise Hudders would've won by more wouldn't they? We only lost the 2nd half 8-4 and I don't recall Hudders bombing many chances and being all over us. If anything we cocked up more than them!

No you're right it wasn't a cricket score and for me it wasn't about the score, more the performance. I am an optimistic fan but I can honestly say that after our good 10 minute spell at the start I could never see us winning the game. Even in the second half when we had repeat sets I just couldn't see us scoring, it felt like hudds were still in control even when we were attacking. When I say bombed chances I mean when Hodgson failed to drop on the ball and also when one of their players ( sorry can't remember the name) knocked on trying to put the ball down.

Anyway that's behind us now, looking forward to a better performance on Sunday.

Should have been 24



But he didn't, so why bring it up ?

because they were getting over your line with no reply 3 times! hodgson was stood over the ball unopposed over the line it was only a no try due to a massive brain fart and a dodgy bounce! So the broke you down 4 times before you got over there line. At 3 scores up hudds were never really under pressure even more so after the forth try! As a genuine contest you were never really in it! if some of you don't agree then fair enough

When McNamara actually does something that suggests that he is capable then I will lay off him. But he won't do so. He is taking us backwards at an alarming rate and should have been sacked ages ago.

He is just a joke of a "coach".

Have a missed 9 Bradford games this season?

That's what I was thinking tigs (but with better grammer)



For shame ME, for shame



I wipe the slate clean with Macca after last season and with all the new faces it will take time for them to gel. Especially against a well-oiled outfit like Hudds. So I'll be sticking to the famous 10 game rule.



Out of curiousity ME how many wins are needed of the next 9 to restore your faith in Macca?

Would that be grammar?

Good to see your back on the ball as usual tigs
