I think we just need to face the fact that this season won't work out well for us and neither will the next if we don't recruit properly. Last night was a better effort than Salford yes, but both teams were very very average. It's sad that not that long ago a game between Bradford and Leeds would have been the best match in the whole of Superleague.

I can accept this team is a "work in progress", but I think our youngters are not anywhere near the standard I think we have been led to believe.

I just feel deflated after last night. We don't look fit enough and lack the ability to kill off a game and come from behind to win. not good enough.

I like our youngsters but at the moment they contribute virtually nothing to 1-7.

Hasn't that been the case for years. Especially In terms of real quality.

Where's this legacy of youth SM left?

Fact that we've got virtually nobody to step in speaks volumes of Maccas legacy.

Loads of Props/Second Rowers and Loose Forwards but no Centres or Wingers. Crookes and Finigan are okay but not good enough yet.

I wanted to see a big improvement after last week and I did. Performance was pleasing but disappointed with the result.

Need to get 2 points on monday though. Desperately.

Is this a problem created because our last couple of head coaches are ex forwards and maybe concentrate more on bringing forwards through the system?

IMO, the problem runs much deeper, possibly to junior level. Big lads are automatically assumed to be forwards and are sent to the pack leaving the small guys in the backs, when in reality they could be blockbusting threequarters. IMO it's important to have big strong fast backs, and levels all across English RL should concentrate on trying to develop some big, fast, strong and skillful backs instead of thinking all big guys are slow and little guys are fast.

I dont really watch much rugby at junior level, but from what I see of the mini games at half time the game at junior level consists of the biggest lad in the team just runs through everyone. I appreciate bit of a outside comment, but from what I see it just seems all about size.

I wonder if inglis was born in england if he would be a centre still or in the pack.

Theres plenty of quality backs coming through, just not at Bradford. Jones-Bishop, Lomax, Foster, Charnley, Briscoe, Watkins, Evans, they look the part so far, let's just hope they continue to, for the sake of England and Super League.

gutted about the result. Leeds didn't even have to break out much magic to beat us. We seemed to take our foot off the gas and got punished. I thought Kopczak looked great and was a bit concerned that our forwards are mis timing runs quite often. we seemed to be receiving the ball stood still and that's never going to gain loads of meters.

McShane for Leeds seemed to be their gamebreaker. A pain in the Bulls bum and they looked much better when he was on the pitch than Buderus.

1 win in 11 against Rhinos. They really didn't have to play that well to win last night imo. Good effort from bulls but still a big reminder we just ain't good enough. I had expected more wins by now tbh but not calling for anyones head.

Got to agree about McShane he changed the game and was right in our face from the minute he came on. Great hooker play and he's clearly the reason Leeds were happy to let Diskin go.

We looked far better when Ben Cross was on the pitch. What a simpleton he is.

I think even the biggest macca fan must be thinking we've been sold a pup on this one ( although we have had hellewell and wardle poached)

1 thing that did us

Leeds- moved up 8 meters when defending
bulls - moved up 2
