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
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.
