On points difference, it's hardly a calamity at this stage of the season.

Listened to the commentary, allowing for the obvious Bradford bias, it didn't sound too bad except we couldn't get across the try line, the commentators mentioned the obvious "Bradford look bigger n stronger"...Olni come back...Please someone lend us yer Props!!!!

Confirmed when little bro' and his two mates returned having seen said game, enthusiastic enough, far too small (as a squad) though in all honesty Bradford were just a tad better.......They insist we did score a try but the ref was having a mare! The Bradford faithful apparently agreed with the sentiment, though in fairness his decisions were equally wrong for both sides.

The boys feel the improvement is there to see, we just needed some biff and not the sort that could've/should've seen four in the bin (two of theirs and two of ours) or perhaps even a red (not that I remember the commentary team talking about punches and indeed even a kick!???? must've been putting the kettle on). Wish I'd have gone but working a bloody 12 hour shift I knew I couldn't get back down the M1 in under two hours!

Correct,that needs to be addressed.

No it's not news, been that way for three seasons, props, props, our club for some props!

But from the lads who went to the game, it sounds like our guys put in a shift, not often you drive that far, lose by over twenty points failing to get a single try and come all the way back home and don't seem gutted, but they really weren't.

we are currently on a minus +/-figure 70 points behind 4th spot. We are averaging 18 points a game at the moment
14 games left with 4 of those against teams 1,2 and 3rd.....we need to start racking up some points against the lower teams.

So 14 games to go. Agree need to start winning games by a bigger margin but no point in being Chicken Lickin this early.

Well they always say there is a second half to the season,but unfortunatley thats a Superleague term.Other teams will also get stronger,lets not forget that.

Only pointing out that the +/- scenario is that we are 70 points behind 4th spot and that we have 10 games where we can realistically make a dent in that. Ideally, we win all 10 and negate the need to worry about +/-

So is 5 Props in a match day squad not enough then these days???!! :/

We need battle hardened mongrels not kids from the U19s and converted second rowers. Besides I can only relate what both the boys who went to the game said and what I heard from the radio commentary team, Bradford, as a squad, looked bigger, and when it came to defending the 10 meter line it was the clear difference between the two sides, thats what those who saw it said.

so. To clarify.....those who were there said it, those who were there supporting Bradford have said it, those who have heard from those who were there have relayed it and yet still, we are light on props?
Not sure who to blame here given that we've heard we are light on props for over 3 years now........maybe the guy paying the wages?

We need props....... Why sign Elliot Kear then!!
