You know this is a rugby league forum, right? And that event the day before yesterday was a rugby league game? Which part's weird again? All I've seen you do is talk about people who talk about rugby league.

grapes and sour spring to mind........

Here here !!!!

In his post-match interview, PR refused to criticise Joe Cobb, (unlike his opposite number at the Bulls) saying that it was a difficult game for him to control, and that players of BOTH sides contributed to that difficulty.

I actually stated beforehand that a lot of responsibility should lie with the players to ensure the referee gets the opportunity to do his job properly

Typical fans forum then.

But don't you need a ref with the b*lls to do it in the 1st place? That game needed an experienced ref. Sadly, it didn't get one ....

.....and now Adam Sidlow joins in with accusations of 'dodgy' tactics including illegal tackles to the knees www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... e/?ref=rss So 1 coach and 3 players have now publicly stated their views, come on Ross Heppenstall - Bradford Bull***t Reporter give us some more. Or maybe report on why the RFL are investigating the Bull*****ers

That's good news for Bradford, they tried to rough it up all match and couldn't handle Leigh when we played expansively.

At least he's come up with something specific, rather than the stock "niggle" accusation.

There was definitely one dodgy tackle to the knees, Acton was sin binned for it, and rightly so.

If they think we were 'amateurish' just wait till they play the rest of the league.

Biggest load of crap iv ever heard in my life, its rugby league not a game of chess, anything thuggish the ref sorts out end of. Its down to each team playing to there strengths and the opponents to combat any tactics used. Sour grapes and Prima donnas spring to mind. theyv some more to have week on sunday that I can assure them

Well said Gingy.

I think Jamie's tackle was over zealous at the worst. The new rules on cannonball tackles are that if the tackle forces the knee to bend in it's normal way then it if fine. It is when these tackles come from the side that they are a sin binning. As stated by Mr Cummings on the SL game last Thursday. My personal view is that all these tackles should be banned unless the initial contact is just below the butt cheeks. A lot of weight any lower forces the foot to bend in a abnormal forced direction and could potentially damage or snap the Achilles. Another ambiguous rule that is so open to different reffs opinions. Why can't they make it more clean cut.

But the specifics he came up with are "a couple of tackles through the back of the knees" which according to the rules is Not "dodgy".
As for his theory on this league being less expansive, I would suggest that the second half display from our boys makes that comment seem idiotic. Expansive is exactly how I would describe our play. Tries from sets that almost all started from well in our own half, and were scored out wide on both sides of the field.
I await the next pearls of wisdom from the the obviously far to superior for this league Bradford. Some of the comments aimed at this league in general in the last three days have been plain ignorant and rude. But good on em for making every match from here forward harder for themselves.
