Scientifically unsound appraisal - had the first call that went against you been given differently, it's not logical to say that all the same situations that followed would have even happened as the game would have been restarted in a different manner.

I'd have gone for 'mentally unsound appraisal', but there you go.

this is an embarrassingly bad post.

Get over it. Can't count how many times Wire went down to the Bulls in similar circumstances when your '[ilarge international playing squad'[/i regularly got the better of us. Riley has every right to back up his centre and stay in a position to take a pass, wheverer the Bradford defender was.

I watched the game back on "tape" expecting decision after decision going Warrington's way.

Beyond the Hodgson pass, which is no worse than a multitude of similar ones we have seen for tries already on Sky this season (and did later in the game for Bradford's second try) and as Clarke said on Sky does appear to be passed backwards out of the hands - which is what the decision is made upon, what were all the other decisions Warrington that went Warrington's way?

Video ref's take the doubt away - how people can suggest there wasn't a toe on the line or that Sammut wasn't offside is baffling. The desperation of Bradford fans to have somebody to blame apart from their own shortcomings was summed up by the booing of the decision to award the Waterhouse try - video replay at the match clearly showing a perfectly good try is then met with a chorus of "haven't we been hard done to" boos. Smell the roses - the mighty Bulls are now, at best, an aiming for eight spot Super League team. Get use to the likes of Wigan, Warrington, Saints and Leeds coming to Osdal and rolling you over with ease even when mis-firing, you've got years of it to look forward to.

Finally for anybody to even suggest that the Atkins try should be dis-allowed is embarrassing. Kear(?) took the easy option of pushing Riley (and by the letter of the law should have been binned for taking out a supporting player but I wouldn't want to sink to the level of desperate Bradford fans and suggest that) rather than continuing to chase Atkins to force him wide and make the conversion more difficult.


ps thought young Bateman had a great game for Bradford - perhaps if he was a foot bigger, five stone heavier, have some famous siblings and be half the player he is he'd be getting the plaudits he deserves.

No, you would have won the game if you'd scored more points and defended better. But that didn't happen because your not very good at rugby anymore.

Where's your bullmania now ?

You mean you don't want to see Ben Jeffries doing a short drop off pass to Jamie Langley again and again and again? Cos 50 more times, that might catch us out

wire were lucky to get 2 trys and that is being generous because waterhouses try was a double movement. All you wolves fans must watch a lot of NFL because your passes were a mile forward. you were lucky not to get a yellow card. we could have a case that at least one of our two trys chalked off should have been aloud. im not one to blame the ref but we were the better team. good luck for the rest of the season.

but why did you lose by 3 scores then? Surely the better team would have been closer at least.

it doesn't matter who is the better team, just the result and we won and you lost, we got 2 points and still top the league, were are you?

Waterhouse just reached over the line. The ball carrying arm never touched the ground until the ball was grounded.
It's foolish to even suggest it was remotely questionable. More embarrassing for you to be honest.

And which video ref non-try could have been awarded to Bradford? The one where the player was undeniably in touch or the one where the player was clearly offside by 3 meters?

Good lord you guys make me want to cry! I actually enjoyed the game, bulls really put in a good effort and had some belief against a top team for once. I cant believe how bad our attack is tho it is shameful! The game could have gone wither way, bulls had 2 close tries dissallowed and wire had 2 'lucky'? tries. Finally, Wirefan you have no idea what your talking about, i'm happy this is the only post i have seen out of your 3515 posts..... Platts try should have been given fullstop. Sammut was offside yes....but not by 3 meters perhaps 1 to half a yard!

why?

Just to clarify: with his foot being on the touchline before the ball was put down why should Platt's try "have been given fullstop"?

Give me a chuckle and refer to a "shadow" being visible under his foot.
