Second half was a real disappointment. I know the heat must have taken its toll with players going off, but I thought we lacked ideas in attack - at times it looked like they were just trying to fall over the line. Defence wasn't good either but all the magic weekend games seem to be high scoring.

Unfortunately once again our attack let us down a little today. We've struggled to put big scores on teams all season bar a couple of games. We had a long spell down in the Leeds end but still failed to cross the line. Gale had a bit of a nightmare today and we just looked lost for ideas near their line.

The injuries were also a huge blow to our chances, to lose a player with the first carry and then 2 further players during the game in those conditions was a killer.

Still plenty of work to do to finish in the 8, 1 point from from the last 2 games has eroded the little bit of breathing space we had and we're now out of the play off spots. With Cas, Saints and Wakey up next.. We need to aim for at least 2 wins IMO.

Think Gale directs play quite well but theres just nobody outside him to make that killer pass to the rampaging back rower or a centre in space. We need a really good stand off.

The return of Gale has also had a massive impact on the performances of Jefferies. Once Sammuts back drop Gale.

Looking at the table if we beat Castleford which I think we can and the results go our way wigan beat leeds, hull fc beat saints and wire beat kr then we could move up to 6th above them, then we have saints the week after that.

Jeffries is the same player he has always been. He plays well for a few games then goes missing. He's been in super league for nearly a decade and has never looked consistent enough to be a decent half back and at this stage of his career it's unlikely that he will ever find the consistency needed.

It was an ok performance. Don't think Leeds had to play well at all really to win it.

Gale is looking a real disappointment but i get he's coming back from injury.

Not much else to say about it. A typical Leeds/Bradford game from the past few seasons. We probably perform better than expected but they have too much class and beat us with a few big plays ( though i know we won the 2 before today). Burrow always seems to do it too us.

Gale wasn't the worst of our players!

Did you get their.

None of course it goes on in every game nowt in it !! sour grapes or what.

Two very poor teams fighting for West Yorkshire bragging rights.

Of course we were there!!

Very disappointing. Dont think the 3 injuries were an excuse as Alibert made sure we stayed in Leeds half. We just had no direction at all. Gale & Jefferies looked clueless. How hard is it to create an inside runner. If you running left, and the rest of the team run left, theres only one way your going to go and you'll run out of space. Leeds never got out of 1st gear as another poster said. Very very poor, especially form the half backs and i'm wondering what we are going to do for half backs for next year as Jefferies isn't consistent and Gale hasn't really stood up yet.

On another note, Karl Pryce is stealing a wage.

Don't think jeffries did too much wrong.Gale tried to score every time he had the ball. He needed to show more patience. Jeffries is in his 10th year of Super League and has played in the top grade all that time, so he must be doing something right.Bradford need his experience.
