I went expecting to lose but am annoyed as I think we could have won that with better handling. I thought our halves we average and Leon wasn't great. Lilley is coming back after Monday so I would suggest our halves after that are Lilley and Chisholm with either Pryce or Keys in the 17. Oh, we dearly need a couple more good forward and hopefully when the Visa problem is sorted we get an announcement of one or even two overseas forwards. Chisholm is signed so all we need now are a couple of extra players. That can't be too much to ask from the owners - who I suspect already know that. Once Easter is over players may become available but we need to sign them and not loan them.
two more weeks for Peltier then it is up to the Physio to give him the all clear.
Disappointed but I do believe we are only a couple of good forward signings short of being a very good Championship team if Halifax are anything to go by.

As someone said, we can see the shortcomings in our young team, so we would expect the management to address these issues as priority..but there are still unfathomable delays.And still no further news on the development of this old run down stadium of ours.Thought Roberts had talks arranged with the council on the subject.(Possibly more on the lines of a community stadium).Feels like someone is marking time.I am grateful for the progress made, but expected a little more to be honest.

Quote: debaser "Well, that was disappointing.

First thought - how on earth are Halifax a top four side? Some solid defence, but nothing much else to trouble anyone, that just shows how bad we really were.

We badly missed Lilley today and with him and Murray for a bit more grunt up front, I think we could have won. (Depending on being able to hold onto the ball of course and not concede stupid penalties following tries, etc, etc.) We have to learn to manage games better, we are too soft in the tackle - Halifax niggled all the time, yes they gave away penalties, but so what, they slowed it down all the time to give them time to get organised. When they were down to 12 men, and we were on the front foot, what happened - one of their players collapses on the floor to give them time to get organised, and to get a breather. It's not particularly sporting but its legal and we need to start playing on the edge a bit more. I guess that will come with experience.

I didn't expect a win, not with the team we had tonight, but disappointed that we could have won and pretty much messed it up. One of the worse performances from us this season I think.

And 250 Halifax fans for their biggest away game of the season? Very poor.'"


How sour are those grapes? Players collapsing on the floor? Was that the one with the broken arm or the one with the head knock? If we continue to average only 18 points against us each game we will make the top 4 so you are right about that. You really were not as bad as you are making out you are just disappointed with the result at the moment and if you watch it back Im sure you will see you did OK. Once again Fax's discipline was very poor but when we can defend like we are doing we can get away with it still we need to cut out the silly penalties.

And finally a dig at our fans, Im sorry they didnt turn out but Bradford simply no longer holds the appeal that they did the last few seasons.

Quote: Bully_Boxer "Plenty of effort out there but as expected we were lacking in the forwards. We will have to find some permanent pack solutions before too long otherwise the season will slip away from us.

Frustrating tonight as we never looked like winning despite Fax being very ordinary. They did however make good yards and Murrell kicked us to death. A couple of forwards and Chisholm and it would likely have been another story.

Pryce looks shot at the moment, he looks to be playing on one leg. Can't see him going around again on Monday so I hope either Lilley or Chizzy are available. Though I'm actually dreading Mondays match, I fear we might be in for hiding.'"


Chisholm would have made no difference tonight, we simply trampled your forwards which like had been said before the game was to be expected. I also agree we were pretty ordinary but I will take been ordinary and getting a win away to Bradford where I expect some of our rivals may slip up. Don't be too shocked when you run Fev close on Monday.

You need forwards, anyone can see that. First off you have to find ones that are available that are better than you have then you need to find the money to bring them to Bradford. Firstly there really are not that many good forwards available that are better than what you have and secondly your owners do not have the finances available to them to even think about it. You are expecting way too much, and survival should be your only aim this season. If you do that then that would be an excellent achievement.

Back where we were 2 weeks ago in the mind set, if we had the concentration like last week it may have been a better game from Bradford's point of view, i have to comment on the officiating staff the RFL should really look at the people they are getting to officiate these games a linesman who could be well into his 60s with bad knees or hips as it looked is i would suggest not able to keep up with the speed of 21 year olds and should not be on the pitch.

Credit the Bulls fans they did engage in a bit of banter by booing the officials from the pitch. icon_wink.gif Personally I think you guys would do alright if you had them every week. icon_biggrin.gif

So just a observation from my point of view. Halifax were solid defensively, Bradford got 2 tries but other than that didn't look like scoring. The only times you got near our line you either bombed the chance or didn't make the right decisions at the right time! Halifax offered zero in attack today compared to previous weeks but we still scored 22 points past you. You seriously need to sort out your defence and just hope you can either bring in some more attacking/clever places who know what to do with the ball at the right times. If you can't sort defence out I seriously think you will go down this season!

As I say, Chisholm and a couple of forwards.

I wouldn't be in the queue to blag Halifax. They did enough to win without knocking themselves out presumably because of having another game on Monday. Defensively they were solid and in attack all they had to do was one pass and a drive. And the main thing was no errors. Our first aim should be to play like them.

No mate, no sour grapes at all. I didn't expect to win last night, in fact I expected us to get smashed, but you really weren't very good. That's why I'm disappointed because we bombed too many chances to give you a game and had we played like we did against Sheffield, we could have won.

Of course it doesn't have the appeal. It doesn't to us either. But still a poor turnout.

Halifax did just about enough, but there wasn't a lot in it.
You could tell the bulls pack was made up with second rowers, but despite this Halifax scraped home with three tries from kicks and one awful try where the entire team switched off after the sinbinning.
I thought the game was fairly evenly matched, Halifax just had that extra little bit of size, experience and luck. The bulls didn't have anyone in the middle last night who could turn it around for them
Put Chisholm and Murray in that bulls side, and I think we could have been looking at a different result. We got over the line three times and couldn't get the ball down.
