Me me, you you. Sth but that's how it is.

Oh. Really?

Why would you think that?
It`s not as if we have had an easy run in.
Hull away and Wigan at home.
Can`t see why that would constitute a conspiracy unless you think our last 3 GF wins were all handed to us on a plate!!!
One things for certain we wont be playing Bradford in the semis

Beats me that one.

Nonsense mate.

No, not at all - if you are content to look permanently like a poor man's failed troll with nothing worthwhile to contribute to any discussion.

Well I have yet to lower myself to personal insults,which is more than can be said for some.......

If you know a better hole, go to it.

Mmm. Except, you see, you've repeatedly posted what amount to nothing more than trolls, which have no aim but to try to wind up Bradford fans on their own forum. You've contributed nothing to any debate, just effectively barged into someone else's place and gloated.

You probably wouldn't have the balls to walk into a Bradford Bulls pub and mouth off the same way and if you did, you wouldn't be surprised to get twotted, and what comfort would you take from the point that, technically, you "hadn't insulted anybody"?

If you are really not on a deliberate wind-up, you should consider your own behaviour and learn some basic manners.

Some trimming of posts has been done on this thread in order to keep things on topic.

A sticky will be appearing soon that gives some further guidance.

Hope it includes a general policy to have a "match comment" thread separate from a "match trolls" thread - that's the best idea since sliced bread, and any offenders can simply with a click be sent across to the right thread, no fuss, job done.

Ok with me. It does the job it's meant to.

It's funny that this keeps being mentioned. In the late 90s & early 00s when Bradford were dominant the Bulls used to get away with forward passes all the time (the 'flat' pass from Lowes to Anderson/Vagana close to the line was a particular favourite). It is no coincidence that as the more dominant sides in the competition put themselves in scoring positions more often, the result is a higher number of borderline forward passes being given for tries. I could say the same of Saints in recent years as well. It's no good bemoaning how Bradford are dreadfully unlucky on these kind of calls - just accept this is how the competition has been for donkey's years.

FWIW I was cheering Bradford on for this one and felt the decision not to give you 6 more tackles was a potential game breaker. The referee tried to even it up later by penalising Warrington for some technicality but by then the damage was done.

Thought Menzies played a blinder at centre for a 36 year old, and Nero looked threatening as well. Orford didn't really do a lot, I doubt he was fully fit. I'm not Halley's biggest fan but he wasn't as bad as in previous games, and took his try well. L'Estrange is definitely a better 9 than 7. Worrincy looked like a man on a mission - IIRC during one patch of the game he was running his blood to water with consecutive tackles in each set, but predictably he started to tire leading to the couple of kep errors already highlighted.

See Sykes has been charged with a "dangerous throw" on Hicks

Grade A offence.

Well I suppose it's to be expected. I thought he was lucky not to be penalised for it.

As did the Wire fans.

Westwood charged for use of forearm on L'estrange.

It was a tough game alright so not surprised a few incidents come to light after people have had time to watch it again.

Hopefully Sykes will get off with a warning. Otherwise we'll be stretched even further.

I thought it was a bad one tbf, could have done some serious damage but depending on his record being clean i'd say a warning is sufficient. it wasnt like a huge swinging arm

I'm sorely tempted to say I hope Westwood gets hammered by the Disciplinary, since he is a dirty bugger who's second only to Fozzard in the thuggery stakes.

Tempted, but I won't. Cos that would not really be very fair, let alone sportsmanlike, and anyway Ben played a blinder on Sunday and was absolutely outstanding in a game full of outstanding performances. And I did not recall the incident he is charged with, so surely it cannot have been a big thing?

Hmmm, might we be seeing a Southernwood/Orford combo if Sykes is handed a suspension?

Depends if BK i fit or not. But I doubt it.

probably more likely to be Addy/Orford combo if Sykes is banned. Addy seems to be a bit ahead off Southernwood in pecking order at moment. Although with Donaldson out too we may see Addy featuring a bit at Loose. We could really do with Kearney being fit to allow Halley to move back to wing as Platt looked a bit out of depth there defensively imo.

Wardle plays a bit of 6 too, but seems to have settled at centre recently.

bulls seem to think wardles future is . Saw him come on, on sunday but cant say I really noticed him after that. Not sure if thats a good or bad thing tbh. Suggests he didnt make any howlers but also didnt do anything to stand out either.

If needed think Addy will get 1st shot because he's a bit further ahead in terms of physical development and he's playing at a slightly higher level week in/week out at dewsbury compared to U20's. Plus macca doesnt seem to like rushing youngsters through so I suspect southernwood will spend a bit more time at U20 level before being considered.

He put some good tackles in, including one that forced a drop out. Didn't get much chance to see him in attack on Sunday though.
