| At least Hargreaves put a bit of effort in this week, at least by comparison with his recent performances. He still needs to be more aggressive in attack for me, but I thought he put plenty into his defensive stint
As others have said, Scruton is doing nothing at the moment - laboured in attack, hiding in defence. Burgess needs to learn ball retention, and Joseph looked out of his depth, frankly
The other forward who needs to sort himself out is Whitehead. He was anonymous today in both attack and defence

Agreed on all fronts. We can check the stats when they get done. But for me.
Koppy is probably our best all round prop currently (top metre maker?), good work rate/metres per carry, so great going forward and very solid defensively.
Hargreaves absolutely solid defensively. One the least missed tackles in the team even tho he's towards the top end of the tackle count, and with hardly any errors (0 in 3 games?). Could do with alittle more agression in attack/ another metre per carry.
Scruton. Needs to up his game massively on all fronts.
Burgess. Absolute wrecking ball when he keeps hold of it!! But alot to learn, he's still very young. Too many unforced errors at present, poor defensively with too many missed tackles, appears not fit enough (but is that a trade off for so much power/impact in attack though? He's a completely different type of prop to Hagreaves for example and used more in a 15 min impact role)
Jospeh. Indeed looked out of his depth yesterday. And when I saw him in the bar after....possibly one of the smallest super league props going?
Whitehead indeed went missing yesterday. But generally plays well.

23997_1287161421.jpg [quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

| Like whats been said your a new team near enough and to have us and wire in your first 3 games is pretty tough
Your goal this season should be to fight for wins around the 6-10 spot and i do think you will make the playoffs this season you just got to gel i thought we was pretty brutal at times yesterday and no team would have coped with that
Best of luck for the season and see you down here soon

| "Bradford were once again left frustrated and disappointed at Odsal Stadium as the Warriors hit some red hot form to beat the Bulls 16-54 in Round 3 of The Stobart Super League." taken from bulls website
From MOV wigan didn't seem to get out of 3rd gear if they had hit top form we would have lost by at least another 30 points, it used to be that teams had to give 110% in order to beat us no its like 11% where has our fight gone.
Going back through the seasons it seems like when we played wigan in 07 when we lost 31-30 in the playoff from being 30-0 up at HT thats the moment teams began not to fear coming to odsal and since then we have failed to decieve.
I know from reading wigan forum they think us like salford and london where their team just has to turn up and we will roll over a guaranteed win as it were.

| thanks KW for your perspective. This week is purely preparation for next week and two points we could and must get, if the turn around is similar to the Cats to Cas game thats all that matters to me.
Lulias defence: I thought that the comments at the time of signing were that his defence had not been as good as it should but that he had worked hard to get it better. so yes, he again needs playing time to get where he wants to be with his defence.

Pretty much sums it up to be honest.

| What sums it up for me is the lack of trolls we get on here nowadays. The sympathy from other fans says it all really!!

Ganson had a good game, he policed Wigan at the ptb pretty well and even did Lockers for a high shot. Just a pity he couldn't give our penalties a bit nearer the touchline.

i'll be going to what I can, I don't think I can make the Warrington game though. The wife is out and I'll be looking after the kids.

| I thought ganson had one of his better days its usually when hes on sky he cocks up as you can see the replays and what he has got wrong but when the game is in play you cant rewind to see what he has done and if the call was correct

Clearly proof, if any were needed, of his anti-Bulls bias...
