Not sure if it's possible, but we need to make at least one new signing before the 8's if we are to have a chance in my opinion. Any of the 4 SL teams would have murdered us today. Too many mistakes, too many penalties conceded, and letting them get the ball out in the tackle.
Must do better!

[quote="OFFTHECUFF":1xb0p6sn] Wish i could watch a team like Leigh. :CLAP: [/quote:1xb0p6sn] [quote="Steve":1xb0p6sn] Dislike Leigh with a passion, but they are a million miles ahead of any other club in this league, a sad fact. [/quote:1xb0p6sn]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_24148.jpg



Just watched the highlights on LCTV.

I actually think we did remarkably well to come back from 8 points behind in that 2nd half considering the lack of any decent field position compared to Bradford who must have started a dozen sets in our half due to pens and knock ons.

Of our 2nd half tries 3 came from the half way line, our own 25m line and a full length effort (interception).

Did the best with the limited chances we had. Can't hand over that much soft possession in the 8's though. A SL team (or even Bradford with Gaskell) would punish us for it.

Definitely a case of a few flashes of brilliance (Higham and Hock) bailing us out from a hell of a lot of mistakes.

Quote: Nozzy "Was very little intensity today. Felt like a training session and we turned over the ball cheaply all game. We were so sloppy every time we went ahead we threw away any momentum almost immediately with an error or a penalty.

2nd half I don't think Bradford made an error (apart from the intercept) for the first 37 minutes and I don't think we received a single penalty in whole of the 2nd half either. Everything was sticking for Bradford and our repeated knock ons and penalties meant they dominated the territory and possession.

So with all that in mind we did well to overturn an 8 point half time deficit and could have stolen the 2 points with a better drop goal attempt.

We are now effectively in 'pre-season' for the middle 8's and that's how we seemed to play. 36 - 36 says it all. Hopefully we get that sort of error strewn performance out of the way before the big games start.

Poor performance, decent enough result.

Hock and especially Higham were fantastic.'"


Hear hear Nozzy, agree with every word eusa_clap.gif

Thowt we should have won it missel, and not with a last minute drop goal either.

First half reminded me of first half last week v Fev, very patchy, First 15 mins of 2nd half we were brilliant, but then we invited Bratfut back into it with stone cold knock ons, forward passes, lazy defence and especially penalties (nobody can tell me we don't have poor discipline) including one when we had the ball. There's a time for high risk/high reward rugby and a time for five drives and a kick.

Also agree with others re McNally's defence - the way Addy went past him so easy was embarrassing.

Was glad of the draw in the end - the way Shaw was kicking I expected him to nail that last conversion and sink us by 2 points.

The elephant is so ugly he sleeps his head Machetes his bed Kevin Carter kaffir lover forever Some gentlemen prefer brunette's but that's just an arbitrary turn of events - Take me Home Defacing pictures of famous people on the train, standing by the monument just waiting for the rain I'm feeling..............like I'm leaving................everything behind:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3580.jpg



How many times has McNally saved tries against one and one breakaways where he has tackled the Opposition? It's numerous I can tell you and I am sure PR would aswell. In that situation the player with the ball in his hand is ALWAYS favourite. He's saved more than he has let through. That'll do for me.Keep up the great work Greg, best full back we've had in yonks.That position is almost a thankless job and nowhere else are you exposed as you are at full back.

As one who is critical of his defence, (sometimes) I can personally vouch for what you say about how exposed the full back is! It's probably fair to say that someone else has already missed a tackle, before the full back is forced into defensive action.

I would also re-iterate that Gregg is probably involved in more tries we score, than any other player in the team, and that's what we have been paying our cash to see - champagne attacking rugby.

I wouldn't replace him with anyone else.

Please keep up the good work Gregg.................................but maybe work a bit more on the tackling! icon_wink.gif

Quote: Ste100Centurions "Cheers Ant,

You wouldn't believe how down I have been about not being able to attend.

Regards Brierley, offensively he is a Superstar, stand next to him though & he doesn't look like he could tackle in a football match, such is his physique.
For me Ryan needs to be put on a size programme by the conditioner, along with Greg Mc, even if it costs a tiny fraction of pace.

Overall, for Championship RL I think we have the right balance of pace & size in the squad, but should we be fortunate enough to gain promotion then I feel we will have to add some size to compete in SL.'"


At least you didn't have to endure all the steps at Odsal. Give me the LSV any day of the week!!

And, for me, it's more a case of poor tackling technique (mainly) and attitude regarding Brierley's defence.
