| Well played today. We failed to shut down Tim Smith all game and it cost us. After Gaskell went off we failed to regroup and you ran us ragged. It was a good performance from Wakefield, but we were terrible. I've seen us play better than that this season but these are the games that matter after all.
Your next game, away at Leigh, is massive. Beat them, and you should be comfortably in the top 4.

| Found it frustrating that there was no big screen at the game today.

Very disappointing really. I was expecting at least 6000 due to Bradford bringing 3000 of their own. Wasn't that what Marc Green promised us?

| Very competent all round performance, the gulf in class between the two reams was obvious, albeit helped by them losing Gaskell and having to use Siejka who is still utter garbage. I predicted a win by 22 on another thread, i was being conservative! I though Simon was excellent and continually made huge dents in the defence as did Anderson, Scruton & Mullaly. This gave Tim Smith the chance to finally show his true colours. As poor as we have been there is nothing better to replace us and we will be in the top divison again next year even if it is via the play off.

| Fantastic win for the boys today.
Bradford couldn't cope with our forwards or game speed!!!
Was expecting a tough game today and hopefully we can build for next week.
To avoid the "million pound game" we will need to beat Widnes and KR unless there are some surprise results but,
on todays performance, we should have no fear, even if we end up playing the decider vs Leigh or Bradford.

Indeed. They sold 600 tickets and brought around 1,000.
Still, more than a lot of SL teams have done this season to be fair.

| No complaints from me regarding the match, we were thoroughly out played today and never looked like troubling Wakefield. We can do better than that and I just hope we have an opportunity to show that.
Must say I was disappointed with the racist chant from behind me by a large group of Wakefield fans and then having some drunk idiot goading fans in the toilet at HT. I've never really had bother at your ground before so I'm hoping it was just an isolated incident.

| Bully Boxer Do you know as a Wakey fan I've stood on the terraces at Odsal for god knows how many years and took a load of abuse from you Bulls fans because you were at the top of the tree so to speak. Today I honestly think the majority of your fans thought you would blow us away and you didn't, subsequently I've never heard so much moaning going on about Wakey fans. If there was any racist chants then thats despicable but lets not think that we haven't suffered abuse at your place.

| Well I can't speak for the majority of Bulls fans but it certainly wasn't my expectation. The bookies had Wakefield as slight favourites but I was hopeful rather than expectant. I certainly expected we would perform better than we did. I'm not suggesting that there never an incident at Odsal but it wasn't good today I'm afraid. I'm sure some Bulls fans were guilty of some of the language but I found the racial chant particularly unpleasant. Luckily my lad is only 4 months old so he is largely oblivious right now.
Good luck for the rest of the 8's.

Concentrate on the result Bully and pick the faults out of a poor Bulls side that were outplayed from the KO....never mind

| Great performance by Wakey and a terrible one from the Bulls. Strangely though they could still meet again in 7 weeks and though Wakey won easy today there will still be a lot of nerves in a one off game. That is all the Bulls can hope for now - finishing 5th behind Wakefield and putting in the game of their season.
Wakefield have the bragging rights today by a mile and congratulations to them for that but the Bulls players would welcome another chance. The battle today is lost but the winners of the war is still uncertain.

| Don't get me wrong - a great game today and a brilliant result. BUT - our tackling is till total POOP. A better team than Bradford would have taken advantage and made us pay. Leigh ARE a better team than Bradford.. Looking forward to that game but we need to get those tackles in and kill the ball.

| Quote: The Avenger "A poor few minutes from Trinity ends in Bradford crossing for a try.
Walker on from the bench has given 2 consecutive penalties away, Lee Smith made a lovely beak but then ignored his support and got a bit indulgent, should have been 36-0'"
Having watched the game again on sky recorded, it was Tim smith who gave the penalty away with the high head shot but the camera went on walker. But overall I agree that the forwards Mullally , scruton, Anderson and walker gave us the benchmark for the half to dominate the game. Same team next week for me with Johnstone coming in for Owen.

| Fantastic first half performance blew Bradford away. Our pack were great today and set a platform for the likes of smith and miller to exploit.
Stand out performances for me were molloy and in Simon (particularly his first half stint).
Same again next week please.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |

| Dans kev that's quite harsh. Wouldn't call it poop.
One of Bulls try's came from 3 consecutive penalties after what looked to be a dubious ball steal unseen.
For the majority of the game the defence was good I thought. There was some aggressive and dominating tackles in parts and some improvement seen in our sliding defence which covered well for the most part.
I think people are too quick to play Bulls down and say they were poor when it looked to me we made it so they were unable to play especially that first 30 minutes.
Yeah the defence wasn't perfect but by no way was it poop by a long shot today. And for the most part we did shut them down and kill the ball.
And Leigh are a better team but I don't think they are that much better than Bulls.
