Whilst it was a superb achievement finishing 7th in 2008, I do believe that the reason we finished so high was due to the fact that Wire and Hull were particularly awful that season.

Keep your key players, got a great youth system ( Arundel, Clarke, Miller) Bring a few decent players in to strengthen your pack and the back row.

Agreed. You could equally say that Bradford have underperformed for the last couple of seasons and if they get their act together they will be in the mix for the top 8 next year so we could have a solid season but find ourselves in 10th without doing a great deal wrong. But that's being overly negative

I guess you have to look at our season in context and realise that we have done ok. We had a huge slice of bad luck with the number of injuries we had in one position - prop - which was undoubtedly the big difference between our results in the 1st half of the season and the 2nd.

Seem to remember Latus scoring and a Cas player trying to remove his head in the process. This should have been a another penalty under the posts as he did this while he was scoring.

You mean the one where the Cas player was running at full tilt so couldn't pull out of any incidental contact and both the video ref and Silverwood said there was nothing wrong with it?

That'll be the one that was shoulder to shoulder! No where near contact with the head!

Just proves you are either very old and senile or you were drunk at the time.

Maybe both - who knows?

Nothing in it at all, looked worse in full flight for the players behind Latus hence why they had abit of handbags afterwards; Anyone saying otherwise have the rose tinted glasses on again.



But i cant say the same about the Welham no try, that was clearly 1st contact with the head and should of been a penalty to Rovers not a knock on. So between that and the Fozzard "high" tackle (which there wasnt anything wrong with) they equalled it out.
