Is putting yourself out of position so you're nowhere near the ball carrier classed as a missed tackle?

He did actually fall over, to save the embarrassment of missing the tackle, impeding Matt Ryan's attempt to cover.

Word is that Bradford will have Diskin, Blythe, Ferguson and Fakir back in contention for this match. Could be the strongest squad to pick from all season so there can be no excuses from the Bulls if you get the result.

Blythe at fullback Diskin on the wing and fakir can drop into the centres, Fergy can sit on the bench and come on with 3 minutes left on the clock.

Sorted bully.

Ratchford always tears us apart - even in that game where he was coming back from months out with injury.
And we always just allow him to.

he did a great long run at Hudd , turned to pass and no one there ...maybe that's why he doesn't pass

Maybe Walshaw should do what Mathers did at MM and pop the ball out to no one?

I guess this confirms none of you can remember a pass he made. I regret that you have a short career in the centres if you cannot pass or are just unwilling to do so. His best position could be prop because they are not expected to show ball handling skills.

Maybe Walshaw is trying to play the percentage game and not throw away possession?
If he passes and it goes to ground, into touch or gets his wing battered, he would get crucified for this, so his best option is to play safe and when he develops his game more, he will be more confident to pass.

If Diskin is back, he'll make hay around the ruck; he's no Roby, but he can scoot, and we're simply not managing the ruck, or reloading fast enough, to do anything about it.

Bradford looked bleedin' awful at the weekend, but we are just the type of team to help them get their heads back up.
