| Langley was superb today. I didn't count his states but seemed like he was in every other tackle, and he won all his collisions taking the ball forward, with a couple of good offloads thrown in.
Overall though hugely disappointing, and there surely can never have been a better team at shooting itself in the foot. Probably 6 out of 7 Salford tries were handed to them on a plate when WE had possession, and we were at our most worryingly profligate. I will reserve judgment on why they then looked 5b yards faster than us. But overall no lack of effort, but some lack of respect, a lot of overplaying, and a huge amount of dumb choices by a variety of players.
Depressing.

| I'm convinced Jeffries was injured in the first minutes as twice he passed on the 5th instead of kicking and was terribly laboured. Overall we looked a tired, injury hit team who'd put a massive effort in last week. Wholly agree with those questioning the Sykes at right centre theory, particularly against Joel Moon. Walker did OK there at HKR and Platt is stronger defensively.
However, there is a major issue which has been glossed over by some good wins and that is our complete inability to pass the ball left. Sammut was on the left and never saw a pass for half an hour in the first half. Langley carts it up and makes tackles. If we want the ball wide we should miss him out and bring Kearney into the play. What is the point of signing Keith Lulia? Even Bateman needs to let the ball go. If we want to progress as a team we have to play some rugby. Salford put the same cross field move on in every set and we struggled to deal with it.
I don't like to criticise referees and he wasn't the reason we lost but he pretty much abandoned the offside rule. The reason it appeared biased was because they stepped up aggressively and we didn't.

| Quote: KMT " Btw your fans are becoming a bit of a joke with regards to forward passes, I saw one today that was avoid 2 yards behind and still half the stand shouted forward! U need to worry more about your team than the ref. Penalty count was 11-11 so don't try and hide behind that!'"
No-one is mentioning the penalty count are they? Only you!
The forward pass thing is a joke, we are getting sick of metre forward passes being ignored. In the last few weeks, both Saints and Warrington scored from stupidly forward passes. Yesterday, there was a few classics too, especially the one right in front of the touch judge and the ref in the bottom corner. Yet, the one they spotted was the one to Pryce, so excuse us if we are a little sensitive about them!

Bradford fans have shouted FORWARD almost every set for years. I remember going a long time ago and they did it then. I think refs know this and don't give them because they know the fans don't have a clue

Do you know a set of fans anywhere that don't yell forward when there is a forward pass?
Is it just Keighley where they don't?
It is quite a long word mind, I imagine that could cause some problems.

| From the game i watched yesterday I didn't think Sykes and Pryce played particularly badly. All the tries yesterday came down our left flank or down the middle. Sykes did his bit in defence coming inside swapping with Jeffries. Pryce did look a bit uncomfortable at times though, Sykes put a nice little pass through to him 5 yards out, he should of steamrollered the guy on the line but failed to score
Langley did his bit but we definitely missed Elima.
Beter defence next week please BULLS!!

Only bulls fans can come on here and talk about the positive Bulls. If you support any other team and don't post happy Bulls. Don't speak fellow Bulls.
