I don't really have any complaints about the decisions from the ref tonight.

Kirmond's was a try imo, we've seen the ball being grounded by the body rather than just hands on countless occasions this season, this one was no different.

Deacon did drop the ball, a shame really because I reckon he did intend to grubber through like that, but just lost his grip as he went to kick it.

As for the penalty hudds got for throwing that guy into touch, as soon as David Hodgson began to add his weight to the tackle, the ref called held. The players didn't hear him and carried on obviously, but once the ref calls held the tackle is over.

Whether he [ishould[/i have called held is still open for discussion

Well done, a good victory against a good side, I'm confused as to what has gone wrong for Bradford this season, there were signs tonight that you should be much higher in the table than you are (remember beating Leeds and Saints?), but signs sometimes of stupidity (Sykes' sin-binning, for instance).

I'll be interested to see what is done about Tadulala's behaviour too.

Do you think you can reach the play offs?

As Eddie said, mathematically possible, but unlikely. Let's say you did, and you made it to week 3 of the playoffs... Would a team want to choose you as the opposition?

Unpredictability can be an advantage, too...

Meaning?

I assume you mean pulling Eorl's hair? He should get it cut then shouldn't he.



In the scheme of some of the stuff that went on tonight, that was nothing. Perhaps some of the players shouldn't try and dish it out if they don't want it back.

Great first half again.
Thought we did well to stop the rot in the second half. It would have been easy to fold and end up losing the game.

IMO there wasn't much too different to the rest of the season, a bit of confidence, believe and a bit of luck can work wonders!

I think the stick was more than justified though. In saying that, he's gone away and worked on his game in the reserves and come back looking a better player in centres.

I tweeted this in game - Great defence michael platt. Start the car!

But I also did one questioning why he dragged hodgson into touch - he did play well though

But Hodgson had done a VT. Why can't Platt pick him up and carry him where he likes?

Is it still a penalty for a VT?

If he'd just smashed him into touch it would have been ok. But you can't pick people clean off the floor and carry them over the line like that. As hilarious as it was, it's not allowed

But is he allowed to lie there all day, til he can be d to get up? He would still be there now if Platt had not intervened.

As soon as a second attacker joins the 'maul' the referee shouts held and the defenders must stop pushing.

Don't like too much of that type of pushing - looks like union.

Well done to the Bulls tonight - we were suffering with a hangover in the 1st half and you took full advantage,credit to you ,you played us off the park in the 1st half !!

Yeah they took it hard tonight did their pack. Smashed.

The Mick Gledhill of Huddersfield?

That sort of post is inevitable from someone whenever a team's discipline is poor, which Huddersfield's was tonight

I wonder what he would have done if Big Eorl decided to separate him from his 'Fro? Hair-pulling? FFS!



Anyway - that aside cheers for beating Fartown and booking our top 2 finish!

Superb performance tonight, we looked much better organised, and the forwards put themselves about a lot more. We got some luck with the bounce of the ball and refs decisions but after the season so far we were due some. Having said that I don't know how Moore escaped with just a yellow card.

Magnanimity from an unexpected source- fair play to you, sir.

i say what i see - and the Bulls were easily the best side tonight - think our minds may have been elsewhere at times.

Like ours seem to have been for much of the season...



Anyway: well said, that man.

Typically, this game was meant to be on Channel 9 over here but because of the late kick off, it won't be. If anyone thinks they can help me out, drop me a pm.

Well played fellas thought you were the better team on the night and wanted it more than ours. I don't buy the stuff about the ref, he'll give what he believes to be right, end of.

I'm not sure it'll be enough to get you in the play off's but it does raise the question why can't you do this week in week out, one for you to work out I guess.

There's not many of you who aren't bitter, we've been trying to work it out for ages though.

Will try post a bit more tomorrow.. just had a nice Chinese and watched the match again on Sky.

Thought despite a couple of mini moment of madness it was possibly up there with one of our better performances of the year.

Big raps to Nero, Platt, Sykes, Scruton, Burgess, Menzies, Morrison, Lynch, Wagga and even Deacon. Thought they all had big games and the pack really got into the Giants.

Excellent stuff... now time for bed and another week at work after a good win! Just a pity I couldn't have had a few more this year..

Think Langley deserves a mention aswell, he was excellent in dfence and actually offered something in attack this week -although not an offload- .
