| If Harlequins win this evening we will be 9 points off the top 8 with only 7 games to go
But no doubt our coach will assure that we have a great chance of making the playoffs

Done. 25/01/17.: |

| I'm glad Newton is going, terrible passing, cost us the game IMO. Quite why he was brought back on when we'd had our best spell of the game with Godwin at hooker, heaven only knows.
We could have done with a bit of luck this afternoon as well but you rarely get that when the chips are down.
A better effort but still way off and tactically McNamara has been shown up again.

I also find his post game comments funny.
I like the "we are not far off" line he was using at start of the year.
Do you guys think he will be bulls coach next year?
With the few signings you have made, I'm sure 2010 will be a lot better.

| Its gone now, it was gone last week imo. You just have got to hope your team keeps fighting and dont keel over and embarrass themselves with some big losses.

Must Bulls fans know realistically it was gone weeks ago.
12th is pretty embarrassing anyway.
Why was Jefferies dropped and not Deacon?? injury issue?

| A par performance. Not as bad as some displays this year but not good enough to beat an equally up and down Wigan team. Probably sums up how ordinary we are.
The half time presentation to the service men was superb though.

| I think it's fair to say we had enough ball to win the game but lacked the imagination to get through the defensive line for me. I do however think we were hard done to by the tries that were disallowed, 1 at least looked good to me.
Our kicking in general was better but i think this was something to do with some of the responsibility being taken off Deacon (about time).
I don't know what else to say really, am i surprised we lost...no not really, I'd be surprised if McNamara doesn't say something about the tries and it being a different game if they were given.

| The worst Wigan side to visit Odsal in my 35 years of watching Bulls/Northern and we STILL couldn't beat them!

| Under the cosh constantly in first quarter but did not yield. The better side by a bit for most of the rest of the game, albeit against a Wigan side who hardly looked world beaters. Then that Newton screw-up (again) with a few mins to go, momentum lost, they get all the ref calls when it matters and you know the rest
Not a bad Bulls effort IMO, but in the end still not good enough. Think we looked to have had about four potential tries ruled out, and had a long spell when we were camped on their line with repeat sets but could not break their try-line defence. They had few chances near our line after the first 20, but seemed to score of every one. Guess that was the difference. That and Paleasina when it mattered - what we would give for Big Joe now, eh?
Was it just me thought we looked far better when Godwin was on for Newton? Thought Platt was going to blow it again after a bright start, but he settled down and seemed OK to me thereafter. Our kicking in general was not too bad this time out, I thought? Sykes is surely more effective at 6 than in the centres? Youngsters seemed fine. And at least we did not do the defensive collapse. But that's just how some things looked to me, and there are others far better qualified to comment whose views I look forward to reading.
I won't suggest the ref cost us the match - usually when you say that, the replays make you look a wassock. But I'd sure be interested in seeing how the ref arrived at some of those calls late in the game, especially the knock on to...Wigan! And those no-tries. Be interested in views of others who may have seen those incidents more clearly. But it would have been academic had we turned all that possession and field-position into more points.
Still lost though, and that's the playoffs gone for sure now, I'd say?
Bloody marvellous to see the lads from the army, and the fantastic reception they got. Great to see RL fans know real heroes when they see them, and show their appreciation accordingly.

| That little kick thru by Deacon that was chased by Langley, it was clearly a worked move as they tried it at least 3 times. However, it was let down by Langley's lack of pace. If it'd been tried with Worrency it might have come up with a few scores
