nothing like a few knee jerk reactions! keeping calm and working out how to fix this is the way forward. hopefully that won't involve sacking everyone!

The season is well and truely gone, I hope the pride doesn't go with it.

Obviously not been to 1 game all year!

I don't mind players getting stick when they deserve it but most of above comments are utter tripe!!

Back to the T&A website please!

We really are such a poor team at the moment. We actually started well and put on some good plays and scored some good quality tries. But then for some unknown reason we reverted back to the usual. Same old silly errors, same old needless penalties, same old boring slow attack.

We have no movement in attack and no runners. We must be the easiest side to defend against in SL at times. Our only options are a crossfield kick or hoping we can barge over the line. Our defence on the fringes is simply woeful, unfortunately nothing can be done to solve that in 2012.

That team should have been more than capable of getting a result today against a Cas side missing players and having a mid week match.

My only hope is that we bring in the right players at the end of the year. Although I seem to remember having a similar 'hope' last season as well.
We badly need a running threat at halfback and another quality centre to follow from the Lulia capture. I can barely wait for next weeks embarrassment.

Old more experience heads making stupid mistakes, eg, Langley inhis 25min stint 3 penalties, Diskin dropping off tackles, penalties and also being a lazy so and so and not shutting down the hole in side by not sliding foe Arundals try.
People slating herbert need to get a grip and watch the same game as everyone else. Herbert today ball in Handdown the left side was brilliant, tearing holes up with elima, whitehead and Raynor. Kicking Cas into their own 20 alot of the time only for somestupid old timer to give a penalty and make his kick pointless, in the second half the distribution of the ball then went away from Herbert to the right hand side goingaway from what had been working, for all the idiots who sayhe dunt do enough... If he doesnt get the ball feed to him down his channel he CANT DO ANYTHING! And no he shudnt go lookingfor it if his channel is the left side he shud stick to the left flank at 2ndreceiver

Despite the Bulls early intentions and 12-0 leads after four minutes and forty two minutes, the capitulation came and with it the same dropped ball and ill discipline.
The defence was a embarrassing shambolic disgrace at times and the inquest must now start on another season of abject failure and the reality of a third season with no playoffs.

I Can't believe some people have slated Kopczak over the pile of crap that is Andy Lynch, he was terrible. Team has no fitness and died after 60 minutes as per usual. When we needed our halfbacks most they were non existent. Penalties cost us dearly as it seemed like every one of Cas' tries came from them. No lines no invention in those last 20 mins, poor result. Burgess is a powerhouse but i can see him being worn down the amount of work we make him go through. Next season's signings should be interesting as we definitely need an injection of class in that side.

Any news on Langley? Didn't come back on for the second half.

Would this be the same Marc Herbert, Marc Herbert the pivotal figure who had a hand in all three of the early Bradford tries?

It's horrible to say but despite him being our third top try scorer Lynch is a player very much in decline.
