What was wrong with Atkins tackle at the end, he grabs a bloke by the collar throws him to the ground and the bloke loses the ball as his arm hits the ground?
I assumed it was holding down. but Atkins from the moment he pulled the bloke to the floor to letting go could not have been holding him for longer than 1 second.

I was gobsmacked by it, even though it was about 2 minutes to go and id been treated to 78 minutes of Weird and wonderful calls from Thaler....

Ratchford was also unable to physically stop fifita, should we drop him as well?

Just as an aside, is the mullet back in vogue nationally or just the environs of Wakefield? Fifita had an absolute belter, second only to that chap in Walking Dead.

ratchford aint defending in the line in the middle of the pitch...what do clarke roby mcshane and houghton all got in common? they can tackle. its part of walkers game what needs improving...which he will as he gets older.

Hardaker is reminiscent of an old school fullback.
However the modern fullback isn't there to defend...there just another halfback.

I remember Micheal Withers when he went in at fullback under Brian Smith at Bulls....Withers said Smith told him not to tackle anyone in that role.
He'll arguably go down as the best fullback Bradford has ever had.

Later we saw Paul...he couldn't tackle my granny.

Which was two league points. Time to move on, there's more important games between Wire and Trinity to come.
