How sour are those grapes? Players collapsing on the floor? Was that the one with the broken arm or the one with the head knock? If we continue to average only 18 points against us each game we will make the top 4 so you are right about that. You really were not as bad as you are making out you are just disappointed with the result at the moment and if you watch it back Im sure you will see you did OK. Once again Fax's discipline was very poor but when we can defend like we are doing we can get away with it still we need to cut out the silly penalties.

And finally a dig at our fans, Im sorry they didnt turn out but Bradford simply no longer holds the appeal that they did the last few seasons.

No mate, no sour grapes at all. I didn't expect to win last night, in fact I expected us to get smashed, but you really weren't very good. That's why I'm disappointed because we bombed too many chances to give you a game and had we played like we did against Sheffield, we could have won.

Of course it doesn't have the appeal. It doesn't to us either. But still a poor turnout.

Halifax did just about enough, but there wasn't a lot in it.
You could tell the bulls pack was made up with second rowers, but despite this Halifax scraped home with three tries from kicks and one awful try where the entire team switched off after the sinbinning.
I thought the game was fairly evenly matched, Halifax just had that extra little bit of size, experience and luck. The bulls didn't have anyone in the middle last night who could turn it around for them
Put Chisholm and Murray in that bulls side, and I think we could have been looking at a different result. We got over the line three times and couldn't get the ball down.

Listen, I think we as you will all agree are in a better position than we thought we would be in after 10 rounds,it's a case of targeting the games we can win and then let's see where we are after 16/17 rounds, we are not going to win every game, let's just get behind the lads, coyb

Which player that collapsed to ground to waste time? The one with arm injury or one with broken cheekbone


Anyway all in all apart from those two injuries a good night. I hear Oxford is a nice city to visit you could make a weekend of it next year

Not sure. He was good to go and play the rest of the half though. So can't have been too major.

No he wasn't.

Grix (arm) went off 5 mins after having his elbow strapped up and didn't come back on. Heaton (cheekbone) went off straight away and didn't come back on.

Enjoy Coventry.

Agree with much that has already been said.

We really do need some permanent forwards who aren't going to disappear when when another club needs them, and this has to be a priority imo. Fair enough, we lacked any props at at all, bar young Kirk, and he was a lone warrior really amongst all the second rows. I don't think Fax were very good either tbh, I expected being mullered with the team we put out and yet, bar for the myriad of errors, including not getting the ball down when over the line, we could well have won.

I wouldn't blame the academy lads, they did alright and let no-one down, but some of the senior players need to have a look at their performances. Pryce's dodgy knees didn't look anything like fit and neither did Caro, he seemed tentative and unable to jump, so I guess he's got some problem.

I'm not talking about Grix. And the one I'm talking about definitely didn't go off. He played on for the rest of the game. Were you watching the same game?

Re: Halifax - Good Friday : Sat Apr 15, 2017 8:36 am  

A couple of additions to our pack and i see no issues with us staying up. The blue socks scraped a win past a young bradford team and are currently a top 4 side. These young lads are only going to improve as the season progresses.Well done fax you deserved the win and thanks to the 20 blue socks fans who made the trip to odsal last night.
