Good effort but... : Sun May 08, 2011 4:31 pm  

Good effort and never gave in. WHY cant we put that effort in each week? Attack was good and at times we looked the SL side nor the Dulls. But seriously the defence is a joke and needs sorting. We could have beat then if we could tackle today. As for the Match Officials they are a joke! Childs makes things up and Benthem needs to get to Spec Savers. Even BBC were saying how the forward passes were being missed. 2 men in the tackle strip and play on. Aizue was great. Worrincy another good show and Penky was his usual Jekyll and Hyde with some SL class and some Schoolboy Errors.

More positives than negatives for Fax and something for Nobby to build on especially in DEFENCE! Least the plastic fans from Illingworth, Ovenden, Northowram etc can watch their team get hammered by Wigan. Bradford Dulls are a good imitation of a SL club if they can only beat the bottom club in the championship by 12 and then with help from the Ref

Thought you were bl**dy unlucky. The decision making was dire and for me you looked like the team who wanted to win more; you played some good rugby today.

Glad to see you mentioned Worrincy's effort, i heard a lot of negativity about him from some of our fans, alright he made 1 or 2 mistakes, one of them a big one, BUT he worked hard all game running in the ball making us meters every time. Also thought Jones played quite well and looks as though he's settling in a bit more now, though White had a good game too. Glad to see the improvements and hopefully we are getting there!

Re: Good effort but... : Sun May 08, 2011 4:57 pm  

Worrincy was one of the best players on the field. Jones needs to start now instead of holyroyd also

I dont know how many "Drives" Rob took in but he seems to do more work than some forwards! Well done Rob and keep it up. We know he is a bit iffy in some areas but he makes up for it with his work effort for me.

Worrincy is great in attack but defensively poor, I haven't seen enough of him to see if this is a weak part of his game in general but I presume this is why he doesn't play at a higher level.

Don't know how I feel after that . Proud that the team stuck at it for the entire 80mins but feel a bit flat . We made so many unforced errors and even when we got back to just four points behind I was never confident we would go on and win. But there were plenty of plusses. I thought aizue was awesome , penky looked top notch today , apart from that interception, Barlow , bannister , gannon all went well in the forwards. Worrincey , patterson and jones all did well. Give Calland credit - he saw holroyd was poor and bought jones on after 30mins. All in all well played fax

Re: Good effort but... : Sun May 08, 2011 5:25 pm  

We played ok, great attitude, but we lost - thats the bottom line.


Aizue was great and so was Penky.

Re: Good effort but... : Sun May 08, 2011 5:32 pm  

Agree Aizue and Penky were very good. Felt sorry for Worrincy on his wing being isolated all the time with black defending out there and nash being poor. He made an excellent hit in the first half to stop a 3 on 1 overlap - certain try saver. Under the high ball was solid, so not sure on that performance how his defensive game let him down. Shame he has to play like a forward so much, crazy that he's your top try scorer as well! Holyroyd let the side down, Jones certainly needs a starting place now. Thought Frank managed a good stint and looked up for it for once. All in all, good open game, great spectacle on tv, good for SL license to show youre more than capable of competing, decent enough crowd, good times for FAX

Both teams where poor and alot of lost ball.You tried but i think a few Championship sides could have beaten the bulls today.
