widnes drubbing, herculean Toulouse win ... this is a reality check, should never have been a draw. this championship is a monster of a competition

York away next week ... this is not going to be easy, widnes team or swinton team, really dont know which is gonna turn up. deflated is not the right word on this result today, im sure swinton will be bouncing off the walls

Why was Webster sin binned? They are dirty are Swinton. With the points difference against fev’s a point is almost as good as a win there provided we don’t drop points elsewhere. On paper you’d expect Fev to win next week and is to lose.

Just made it 20% harder for ourselves. Gonna have to win the rest now I think.

Poor performance by Bradford matched by a spirited one from Swindon. We were lucky to get the draw TBH.
16-0 down and a sinbin before we bothered to start playing. You're not going to win matches with that sort of performance

absolutely ... had too much to do to win it, a draw we shoud have never been involved with. huge step back, all will be forgotten though if we make the 5 but these games we SHOULD be winning. Swinton though, great character and determination

if it wasnt for duel reg or loans, swinton would be no where near. makes results so lopsided. look at york, they are there on merit and dont have to rely on handouts

if we'd nicked the win ... im sure we'd be glossing over todays performance.


drawing board and back to springs to mind

It would have been 2pts had Oakes not been a greedy git and passed inside to Pickersgill.

Totally bombed a decent chance of us getting the win.

Team selection was a strange one again today... back to playing three props and rotating back rowers into front. After two great wins we resort to type playing crappy percentage rugby.

Next couple of weeks could be make or break!!!

Well with our poor points difference, a drawn isn't that much different to a win.

Really disappointing from us. Schoolboy errors, some awful on 1 on 1 tackles (Pickersgill & Garisdes both being shockers) dumb plays again (Kirk's sin-binning) just so frustrating. Same soft defence in the middle late on! It's becoming a habit.

As I said a point isn't too bad, but really need a win next week as that will put York under pressure. 1000% improvement needed though.

Surprised Wood was left out today.

we are not big enough for the championship ... we've seen wins with 3 forwards(props) on the bench. from the team sheet today we were looking light

No handouts at Swinton. Just astute management and impressive coaching. Swinton wont go bust as certain teams have in the past few years.

I just don’t get it - we get a winning side together then start putting 3 hookers in the team? Interchanges were a nightmare today, moving everyone around again. It beggars belief, why can’t we just stick with the same team in their preferred positions. I almost think he has favourites and does whatever is necessary to keep them in the squad - in position or out of position and everyone else has to make way! Saying that I thought Hallas, Kirk and Webster played well!

It's a strange one. My recollection is that Kear has generally favoured a big pack of forwards - 4, sometimes even 5 props in the 17.

Yet we keep reverting back to playing with three props. I know Green and Crossley are injured, but we had Bustin and Wood to call on today.

Kears post match is brutal ... this should ringing in the dressing room ... 6 games to go and its still in our hands
