Quote: Ferocious Aardvark ".... and beyond. Don't forget we continued in the same vein at the start of the second half, took the ball the full length of the fiedl, and went in for 26 -nil. At this point
a) McNamara's team had been near faultless in the first half
b) McNamara has sent them out from half time in the right mood, as is indisputably shown by the clinical way we got the first score
c) McNamara is not on the pitch, and subs apart, can't do any more for the remaining half hour.

He carries the can - but this is so clear a case of blaming the players on the field, it's difficult to think of a clearer one. At 45 minutes, someone threw a switch and what [icould[/i McNamara have actually done from the sideline?'"


But:

a) Macca has assembled this team over the last few years - it his more his team than anyone elses
b) The Frenchies were dire in the first half even the likes of Ray French managed to see it!!!
c) Macca has had ample time following other collapses against Wigan in the play-offs and Cas LAST WEEK to set the foundations for stopping this happen...

Just for a balanced view in af style icon_wink.gif

Just for a balanced view in af style a) no argument, and it is - on paper ( icon_biggrin.gif ) a bloody good team
b) I know it suits the, shall we say, 'provocative' view to concentrate on the negative of the opposition being 'dire' rather than the positive of the Bulls playing very good, solid, disciplined, mistake-free rugby, but you are wating your time because it is on tape - watch it - you can't argue it. I am not saying Catalans were good in that period, though you are only as good as the opposition lets you be.
c) But WTF does that mean? "set the foundations"? A meaningless phrase. What do you think he did? One-on-one "Do-not-collapse-in-a-heap-when-under-pressure" training? A row of couches and the psychiatrists in?

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg



A one off collapse you can ignore. However as it's becoming more and more frequent that this team cannot hold a lead then there is clearly something fundamentally wrong.

It's McNamara's responsiblity as head coach to insure that the team know the tactics, know the game plan and know what's expected of them. The team this year clearly doesn't. Is it a mental or physical problem? But either way these are things that should be addressed by the head coach. If he is failing to do this (and it looks that way) then the ultimate responsiblity is his and the failure of the team reflects directly on the failures of the coach

Quote: Paul124897 "I just said the same to some family members who hadn't seen the game and were lambasting Platt.

Hopefully he'll keep up the improvements and not be too downbeat - he's actually been good for the last couple of weeks.'"


I haven't seen him the last 2 weeks, but speaking from a neutral perspective I thought Platt was hopeless yesterday. He looks as dodgy under a high kick as anyone I've seen playing full back in Super League, combined with falling on his a**e for one Dragons try and gift-wrapping another. He can be good in attack, but defensively he doesn't look good enough to me.

Sodd off! We've only just landed him!!

Personally I think JC himself would have a battle on his hands and that's sad because Bradford were a team to be feared once.

Why did it take the coach 65 minutes before he went pitch side, it was clear that the team needed a rocket way before that, instead he seemed to come down and look moody on the side;lines, our backroom staff are p1ss poor and clearly the message wasnt getting out, ie calm down make the tackles and take Deacon off the chuffing pitch s he was useless, captain my ass
