If Purtell had gathered that kick it would have been a try of the season contender! So close!

Great play from Bradford that almost ends with a superb try but the kick just beats Purtell in the corner. Bradford finishing strong but beaten by a strong Catalans second half performance.

Final score Dragons 30 Bulls 10

Well beaten in the second half. I think we only had the ball in their half 3 times in the second half. We couldn't seem to stop them down our right hand side. I also think L'Estrange is far better than Diskin. Addy's been poor too.

Hard to say with no replays but some dodgy looking scores flattered Catalans. They were better than us in the second half, but these decisions going their way put them on a roll.

Will be interested to see -
1. Was it a free play?
2. Did the Cats player step off the mark to his right and around Whitehead at marker?
3. Was Pryce held up?

All academic, and Cats deserved to win on their pack's second half effort, but the scoreline doesn't do us justice. Well done Bulls. A decent effort.

A game we were capable of winning but through some poor defence, questionable refereeing calls and some wrong decision making in the second half we ended up with jack.
The positives are that i believe we now have the talent to beat the top sides its just a question of the team now believing that.

You came up on The Chase, did you see it?

You've lost me!

The answer is B. I kid you not.

I thought the answer was c

We played some dumb football in the second half, Sammut and Addy were poor today. Hopefully we will have Blythe and Lulia back for Leeds away too.

On the free play. Whitehead was tackled straight after the kick. We shipped it wide after this.

Don't say I didn't warn you!

The game went exactly according to my script.

We are always going to do it tough against a big side like Catalans. We started off well but then made a few errors in the 2nd half and we just couldn't wrestle the momentum back from the Catalans.
It was another spirited performance though and the tries we scored were good quality. Most teams in SL would struggle without their main playmaker, 2 first choices centres and only 3 Props.

Hopefully a few bodies will be back for the Easter period and hopefully no new injury concerns.

Catalans were without their star playmaker (Dureau) their regular FB (Webb) and their bruising centre (Duport).

I think that evened it out. Unfortunately for Bradford, Catalans have depth, and an interchange French hooker (Pelissier) who is better than the import who starts the game (Henderson).
