Fleming and Thomas miss out.

At least the weather has picked up a bit, hopefully their pitch isn't in too much of a state and we can actually play some rugby on it.

It's been fairly dry all week and looking at the current weather report on BBC, it looks like Sunday might actually be a nice day for a change.

Let's hope the sunshine in the sky is matched by a dazzling Bradford performance on the pitch

Nah.

But his winger would get 50.

Looking like it's going to be a lovely day today. Should be a good test for the team. Looking forward to it.

i can only go from the BCB coverage but it sounds like we were robed by the ref!

Seems a like we threw a win away, stupid play and some decisions that went against us.

Need a SH sounded like we struggled again

Sounds like Gaskell didn't have the best game. We bombed 3 trys from forward passes, also didn't help.

Crap.

If the game showed one thing, it is that we need a proper scrum half. Will the lesson be learned at some point? Gaskell was asked to do it all and ended up playing pretty poor as a result, we could never get a grip on the game, when with a Deacon to take charge, we would have taken control and won easily. Playing yet again without a 7 is becoming total lunacy, and is going to cost us dear

Sounded like we lost our way a bit when OB came off and Thomas came on. Presume Addy moved to hooker and Thomas played in halves?. Point dropped rather than one gained but not a total disaster.

Should have gone for the DG. Nothing but poor management of the game threw that point away.

It might not be a disaster but it does show that we are still struggling to beat championship teams. Stay here long enough and we stop being a SL team in the championship and actually become an out and out championship team.
We all knew it would be tough today but you really must beat a team that didn't get into the top four last year if we have any hope of going up.

Not a disaster? In terms of the result I agree but the performance is a total disaster and shows we are no where near SL

A team coached by Lowes with poor game management? When could that ever cost us?

But I also see from Facebook (so take it with a pinch of salt) but Lowes has again being getting into bother regarding his interactions with fans
