Lulia was definitely to be blame for a couple of tries, the Darrell Goulding try was particularly weak. But as you say it was his first game over here, against one of the best sides in the comp and he hasn't played for around 6 months. I saw enough of him in the NRL to convince me that he'll be a vast improvement on what we have seen at centre in the last couple of years.

I'll certainly give the guy some time to settle. He needs to shape up quickly though, because his effort was poor this afternoon.

I'd certainly like to see him getting involved a little more. He didn't get a decent pass in space all day, but he didn't often come in field looking to take some pressure off the forwards much either. But he was probably feeling the pace a little after so little gametime. I think he'll turn out to be dependable centre for us in the next couple of months.

Not sure I agree with that. Our backs as good as any in superleague?!.....

I thought Hargreaves had a decent game today?! Especially defensively, tackled everything that moved. Most of the points scored when he was off the pitch! What would you have him do different?

Ultimately for me tho. It's Brian Potter that needs to pull his finger out!!

I am afraid that you will probably have to wait till round 8 for your first home win as it is Wire and Saints next up.



Wire look really good to me this time out

Thought Hargreaves actually had a decent game, koppy was again a real work horse and showed the other bulls props how they should play! Concerned about scruton as he has gone backwards rapidly and to cut a long story short does nothing, he is on big ££££ well what a waste of the salary cap. Burgess is another massive concern as he is unable to keep hold of the ball. He looks overweight and unfit.

At least Hargreaves put a bit of effort in this week, at least by comparison with his recent performances. He still needs to be more aggressive in attack for me, but I thought he put plenty into his defensive stint

As others have said, Scruton is doing nothing at the moment - laboured in attack, hiding in defence. Burgess needs to learn ball retention, and Joseph looked out of his depth, frankly

The other forward who needs to sort himself out is Whitehead. He was anonymous today in both attack and defence

Agreed on all fronts. We can check the stats when they get done. But for me.

Koppy is probably our best all round prop currently (top metre maker?), good work rate/metres per carry, so great going forward and very solid defensively.

Hargreaves absolutely solid defensively. One the least missed tackles in the team even tho he's towards the top end of the tackle count, and with hardly any errors (0 in 3 games?). Could do with alittle more agression in attack/ another metre per carry.

Scruton. Needs to up his game massively on all fronts.

Burgess. Absolute wrecking ball when he keeps hold of it!! But alot to learn, he's still very young. Too many unforced errors at present, poor defensively with too many missed tackles, appears not fit enough (but is that a trade off for so much power/impact in attack though? He's a completely different type of prop to Hagreaves for example and used more in a 15 min impact role)

Jospeh. Indeed looked out of his depth yesterday. And when I saw him in the bar after....possibly one of the smallest super league props going?

Whitehead indeed went missing yesterday. But generally plays well.

Like whats been said your a new team near enough and to have us and wire in your first 3 games is pretty tough

Your goal this season should be to fight for wins around the 6-10 spot and i do think you will make the playoffs this season you just got to gel i thought we was pretty brutal at times yesterday and no team would have coped with that

Best of luck for the season and see you down here soon

"Bradford were once again left frustrated and disappointed at Odsal Stadium as the Warriors hit some red hot form to beat the Bulls 16-54 in Round 3 of The Stobart Super League." taken from bulls website

From MOV wigan didn't seem to get out of 3rd gear if they had hit top form we would have lost by at least another 30 points, it used to be that teams had to give 110% in order to beat us no its like 11% where has our fight gone.

Going back through the seasons it seems like when we played wigan in 07 when we lost 31-30 in the playoff from being 30-0 up at HT thats the moment teams began not to fear coming to odsal and since then we have failed to decieve.

I know from reading wigan forum they think us like salford and london where their team just has to turn up and we will roll over a guaranteed win as it were.

thanks KW for your perspective. This week is purely preparation for next week and two points we could and must get, if the turn around is similar to the Cats to Cas game thats all that matters to me.

Lulias defence: I thought that the comments at the time of signing were that his defence had not been as good as it should but that he had worked hard to get it better. so yes, he again needs playing time to get where he wants to be with his defence.

Pretty much sums it up to be honest.

What sums it up for me is the lack of trolls we get on here nowadays. The sympathy from other fans says it all really!!

You know you've hit rock bottom when even the trolls can't be d...

Can i just ask a quick question ??

After yesterdays result has anybody on here decided they are not going to anymore games this season OR is that just the tools that post on the T & A site ??

Ive paid for a season ticket so i will be going to what i can, it has to improve it cant get any worse, it will all be worth it when we beat leeds at easter

And from what I can see no-one has blamed Ganson yet...

Ganson had a good game, he policed Wigan at the ptb pretty well and even did Lockers for a high shot. Just a pity he couldn't give our penalties a bit nearer the touchline.

i'll be going to what I can, I don't think I can make the Warrington game though. The wife is out and I'll be looking after the kids.

I thought ganson had one of his better days its usually when hes on sky he cocks up as you can see the replays and what he has got wrong but when the game is in play you cant rewind to see what he has done and if the call was correct

Clearly proof, if any were needed, of his anti-Bulls bias...

I have asked myself whether I ought to spending around £50 for me and the wife to travel to Wakefield when the game is on Sky. It breaks my heart because I love my RL but I've spent a stupid amount of money following the Bulls away in the last few years and seen some truelly dire performances. I haven't lost faith this year yet but I can't justify carrying on if we cannot some sort of consistency.

I agree. I'm not going to Wakefield - I'll watch it on Sky

I'll still be going to home games....apart from any other reasons I've already paid out for a season ticket

In fairness why should you be a***d making the effort if the team cant be a***d ???

I wont agree to boycotting the home games just because were poo as most have already paid for a season ticket

But like you say it does seem like a lot of time, money and effort if the team cba

But we all know what will happen we will play a blinder against wakey and all wish we would have gone then come Wire at home we will get a right tonking !!

same will go to warrington, saints, salford away only cos i live near wigan so not very far and im on hols at when we play at wigan, oh and leeds away cant miss that
