A much improved performance, roll on next week.'"
One try was his fault and the kick-off mistake.
Apart from that he was his usual self in attack and set-up Kearneys try superbly. You've got to remember aswell, even if he's quality there, he's still out of position in the centres.

| Quote: Bully_Boxer "Well that was a massive improvement on the last 2 weeks. I thought that was a real gutsy performance from the Bulls and I thoroughly enjoyed the game. I thought our senior players really stood up today and all our young guys made a positive contribution.
McNamara will be disappointed with the two soft Higham scores, we really did deserve at least a point from the match IMO. The defence could still do with some tightening up, I hope Langley is back soon because he will make a difference.
I thought L'Estrange was by far the best player on the pitch today, certainly not the 'average' player some of the 'experts' on here would have you believe. He's been an excellent addition to the squad and is undoubtedly one of our best players.
Agree with all of that.
Langley's column suggests he will definitely be back next week.
L'Estrange was class today, as you say he is one of our bast players.
To be fair, I thought it was a fairly good turnout today considering the last two results.

He should have done better on three of our tries and I certainly wouldn't say he was his 'usual self'. In fact he looked tired and not himself, wish we could give him a week off as he deserves a break. He knew he had a bad game, he didn't even come over to the fans like he does every game.

| Just another couple of thoughts.
Elliot's offload for the Nero try was amazing, this kid is an absolute joy to watch.
Southernwood played a part in 2 of our tries at least today, he'll only get better with more game time and we might as well let him play 7 for the rest of the year.

I wouldn't have a problem with that, i'd do what happened today and start with 2 hookers and have LE'strange helping him out to take some pressure off him.

| To be honest you played as well as you could under the circumstances, injury's. Although Wire played at a modest 60% and still put 40 past you

| Result
Bradford Bulls 28-40 Warrington Wolves
Good reponse and a much improved performance from what we have seen over the last three weeks, the passion, pride were all there but it's the same old, same old story.
Plenty of effort and endeavor from one to seventeen but the fragile defence and lack of concentration are leaving us just too much to do and with that the game goes.
That said I'm proud of the players and if we keep playing like this, we'll win more than we lose and it's Castleford up next and the chance to build momentum for the play-offs.
Nick Scruton has suspected ligament damage which if true would be a massive blow, if we have room for anymore.
The effort from the Bradford youngsters playing, covering for the injuries was outstanding and take a bow young Southernwood.
Just look at the eight British youngsters who have come through this season or last: Southernwood, Kopzcak, Whitehead, Crossley, Addy, Olbison, Wardle, Donaldson and that's before you mention the Burgess brothers who will be ready for next season.
There is exciting times coming our way.
Tonight we saw a performance where we can wear the famous red, amber and black with pride.

| A very enjoyable loss - if that makes sense?
Plenty of effort by the Bulls against a team that can (and did) score tries from nothing and anywhere
Kopczak had his best game for a long time, hopefully he can maintain this form into the next game. Good to see Crossley have a bit of game time, he should take a lot of positives out of his performance - took some big hits. Whilst Addy was only on for a bit, he looks to be a very skillful player who can only be an asset for us in years to come
The imports all put there hands up and we scored some cracking tries too.
How many Bradfordians were out there? I counted 5 but not sure where Addy is from? Olbison's a Leeds lad I think

Well considering we're on here seeing the positives in good performance from an extremely inexperienced squad. And your mate comes on here looking for bites - seems fair enough to me pal

Maybe a bit harsh but it needed to be said.

| Well done tonight, it was a very good effort in the cicrumstances that you find yourself in with injuries. We were very poor, probably as poor as I've seen us this season but some of that has to go down to the way Bradford played, you just didn't let us settle into the game. However I do think if Riley had caught that ball and put it over the line to make it 16-0 It would have been a different game.
You should have enough to get into the 8 with Langley and Lynch due back soon enough?

"Interesting note. A quick totting up of rough salary cap values of today's teams, Warr prob around double that of the Bulls"
Connor's latest tweet. I think we did pretty well, considering.
