Even Bentham did, why else did he run out to stand with the Catalan line unless it was the hand-over?
The man is a disgrace. A professional ref who can't count to 6

| Add to that stopping us from taking quick taps but its fine and dandy when catalan did it, used to like catalan but with fray-bentos in charge they are a dirty bunch of players.
How bentham missed what was going on us beyond me, has to be so they don't miss out on the playoffs, hope leeds, wire and wigan knocked 7 shades of crap out of them now.

| Was L'Estrange targeted? Sure he got taken out a couple of times. And I also counted a seven tackle set of six from Catalan.

| Well done Bulls, you thoroughly deserved to win, and were the better and more committed team. Catalans unfortunately were given everything, and sadly it just proved too much in the end. No calls for the Bulls, everything conceivable and much that wasn't conceivable given to Cats, including extra tackles, missed basketball passes, alleged charge downs from 50cm, sending off Kearney for the last 7 mins, and of course disallowing the winning try.
Rarely has there been such a one-sided one-eyed officiating performance. Catalans, who disdain the notuion of playing the ball either anywhere near the mark, or with the foot, were not offside once in 80 minutes, nor did they strip the ball, nor did they hold down a single player. So credit to them for such wonderful discipline.

| I suspect a lot of discussion will centre around Phil Bentham's performance but I think the players deserve a lot of respect from today.
Massive amount of effort and really put their bodies on the line against what was still a big Catalan side. Really disappointed with what the result means for our season but at the same time so pleasing to see so much pride back in our shirt. Thought Lulia and Purtell had possibly their best games so far this year as well. How we came away with nothing from that game I don't know but we had chances to kill the game. Hopefully in 2014 we will make a few personnel changes that's will see us winning a few more of these tight games.
Also try explaining to a newbie why Brent Webb can foul an opponent (L'Estrange) with a cheap shot but stay on the pitch but BK commits a technical foul and goes for 10 at a crucial point. Doesn't seem fair does it, but those are the rules!

| Thought the same charge he was taken out off the ball a couple of time, but they didn't happen obviously, wouldn't say he gave them everything, we did get some calls, can't believe the amount he missed funny how I don't think we got a penalty in their half so we could kick for goal.

| I think something extremely dodgy just happened out there. Or something extremely incompetent.
Well played to the boys though. They can go out of the play offs with their heads held high. Proud of the effort today. You can't compete against some things.

| I am aybserloutly gutted for the team the management, and us as supporters. Again the game has been spoilt by an incompetent refereeing team who have no idea of the rules or so it looked. Off the ball incidents, blatant off side, moving off the mark, 7 tackles and as always forward passes.
The RFL may wonder why the support level for League is going down and why they cant get a paying sponsor to support SL for the past 2 years. LOOK at the standard of referring as it is killing our fantastic game.
Bradford deserved much more today and have every reason to feel P*)&^D off the ref has decided that we will not get to the top 8, too many teams have seen their game spoiled by crap and incompetent refereeing.

| Can't help but think that Catalans moaning about disciplinary helped them today. Bentham wouldn't give any remotely contentious decisions against them. No real complaints about our performance. Just one of those games where bloke in middle had a massive influence on result.

| Quote: BullCharge "Was L'Estrange targeted?'" Potentially. I think he was often in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was on the end of 2 or 3 hospital passes during the first half which didn't help.

| I thought we had done enough to win at 22-16 up with 11 mins to go to win but we blew it a bit. Sure, we didn't get the rub of the green in anything from the ref but our inability to close the game out cost us. Our start to the second 40 mins was predictably slow and we let a crucial soft try in. The sin binning was probably justified but I didn't think it had a massive influence. In the end we lost it up front where we lacked the size in the pack to compete for the full 80mins. There was hardly anything at all between the sides though.
Some observations
1. I'd like to see the challenge on L'Estrange again as it looked a bit late and a shoulder charge.
2. Amazing to see not one offside at the PTB or scrum with both sides stood offside all afternoon. Does this rule no longer apply?
3. Does the flop rule no longer apply either?
4. Someone should tell Leon Pryce how to be gracious in victory.
5. Henderson is a world class whinger.
I thought most of the team had good games. We missed L'Estrange after he got taken out.
