Widnes back in front. The Bulls withstand repeat sets and stand tall. Defence much improved from the first 15 mins. 3 mins until half time.

Flanagan wins Bradford a penalty on halfway. Minchella opts to take the points with 2 mins to go. Bradford throw the ball around after the hooter looking for a miracle score.

Half time score: Widnes 18 Bradford 14

Decent first half.

We’ve looked fairly fluid to say all of our 3 halves are out.

Felt we let them off the hook a little bit, the momentum was with us at 12-12 but a couple of errors and giving a penalty away led to their 3rd try.

A very sloppy start but we have responded very well. This game is definitely there to be won. Big 40 mins coming up!

Agreed.

Shows the fight in the side to go 12-0 down against a good team away and not to let their heads drop.

We still need to work on our panic play. I don't know how many times it needs saying but we don't have to score every time we have the ball. Sometimes it's enough just to play a decent set.

Fair point.

I think having our halves fit would help with that but can’t fault Willie and Minchella so far.

Killing ourselves with our kicking game here. They’re starting every set on halfway.

God only knows how Gelling didn’t get sent to the bin for shoving Flanagan?!

Excellent last gasp tackling from the Bulls.

Absolute housery from the Vikings. How they still have 13 men on the field is beyond me.

Robbed.
