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!!

To a degree we need props but frankly that is not the main issue.

I think Everett is developing really well, Thackeray does the business, Dollapi leaves nothing on the field. Dave W is a Skolars player. Yesterday Rhys L (in fact both Rhys) had a nightmare, worst game so far.

The issue, half backs who can dominate. Potential is there, but in Oscar and Joe we are putting too much pressure on these guys. Tom G played yesterday but didn’t shine and anyway, he’s on dual reg.

Macani was awful yesterday, Ben H not playing to his best and Ben F, I don’t get this guys misses too many tackles and always shoots out of the line.

Dwyer had his quietest games, Minchella, Harrison and Garside competed well.

We went over their line 2 or 3 times but were held up.

Conditions were awful, but that’s no excuse for the display we witnessed.

I don’t think Bulls were far off their first choice side, we are missing a few key individuals, and we need to address the areas that need strengthening, quickly.

For me Ryan Bailey and Tony Puletua would be fine additions, plus a quality half.

Spot on!

Bulls had several missing from what I would consider as first choice side.....but squad is large and so it's difficult to pick 17. London pack struggled and would do against several other Championship sides .... need some added beef and soon. Size and experience is the way to go.
