Thanks

Unbelieveable defense from us there, incredible!

We're actually making a decent fist of it

It's only our defense that is keeping this respectable. We don't look like scoring, I think you can count on one hand the number of times we've been in possession in the Toronto half, but that's to be expected really given the strength of Toronto's squad. Not exactly a level playing field.

I spoke too soon about our defense

Even so, with 5 minutes to go and we're within 3 scores of Toronto. We've not played poorly against what is arguably the best team in the league

Lol!

Thought it was a very decent effort. Obviously we struggled in attack but plenty of tenacity and scrambling defence. Certainly made it a contest without ever really looking like we would have enough to beat them today.

A game we were never going to win but the lads gave it their all I think we did well

That was a good effort up until the last 10 mins. The defence was very very good, we just lacked a bit of size, a bit of class in the halves and maybe a real speedster.(?) Overall a very good showing, great experience for the younger lads and will set them up for the rest of the season. Now they know that they can compete at this level in the top four, and with the addition of one classy older head, we should stay in the tip 3 or 4.
Would be good to see a very good experienced centre come in so that Minichello can dictate from the middle. That might be the difference between top four and below.
Well done Bradford Bulls.

Despite the loss I think that's up there with the best we've played all season. Fantastic defense, a very high completion rate and we even looked relatively competent with ball in hand!
There were cutout passes! Dummy runners! Offloads! We even scored a try from further than 40 yards out!

If we can play like that every week we will win a lot more games than we lose and I will be a very happy bunny.

Very pleased,Great team effort and never gave up.Roll on next Saturday.

Everyone has a opinion, and I think yes they played well and didn’t deserve that final score, but to nullify our most lethal player by playing him in the centre didn’t give me any confidence pre kick off, and it certainly justified my thoughts after

Watched the game on Sky. I agree the defence was excellent for the most part until I assume tiredness or momentum took over. The effort that went into that defence was really pleasing to watch.

As far as the attack goes, I now get what people on here who still go to the games have been saying. Whilst I understand that the kick for touch on the 5th is about territory and having patience, I do think that had a large factor in the loss. Being happy to constantly play for territory when it's a close game is fine if it stays close. But if they'd have chanced their arm a few times, tried something a bit more positive, they may have had more points on the board when Toronto started to take over and made it a different game.
The attack didn't just look poor in quality, it was really negative. Perhaps out of necessity if you don't have anyone out there who can create good last tackle options, but even if that's the reason, it's very concerning.

Losing to Toronto is nothing to be ashamed of though. They are the best team in the competition by an absolute mile. This season isn't about beating them to promotion, it's about consolidating the place in the Championship and looking to build towards promotion in the future.
