Don't know which was worse, the spineless inept pathetic performance from Bradford or the incompetent, pathetic performance from the referee.

The ref was bloody awful. But he didn't repeatedly drop the ball under no pressure. He didn't' rob Bradford of any attacking guile.

All in all, it was a shameful performance from Bradford. Lazy, inept, disorganised, uninterested.

Now, Lowes would have let the team get away with that. The real proof of Smith's credentials is how he handles defeat when the team just hasn't given a toss

Sorry Roofaldo that's not really suitable content - Bullseye.

I think that pretty much sums up this afternoon as a Bradford fan

Fax fan here. Warren Turley. We had him against Oldham a few weeks ago. Utterly useless.

Followed by Mike Woodhead.

Avoid them 2 refs and you may 'enjoy' the game.

Truly shocking display, terrible handling, no line speed on defence, compete lack of co-ordination when in the opposition 20, passes going on the floor or going to invisible players, lack of urgency and interest at times. Credit to Dewsbury they played the system. How many times did players go down "injured" when bulls were in an attacking position or on a repeat set drop out? Don't get me started on the ref. Complete failure to police the offside at ptb, pedantic attitude stopping game to re-feed the scrum, calling back players if the penalty was not taken from exactly on the mark (I know it's the rules but come on!) consequently slowing the game down when teams try to get a roll on. Two team warnings and not a player in the bin until the last minute. Dewsbury must have been laughing their c*cks off!!! PLEASE GET A SCRUM HALF BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE (IT MAY BE TOO LATE ALREADY).

Well two positives from that:-
1. Chance of silverware in the playoffs.
2. Not having 60+ put past us by the current worst team in SL.

That was the sort of performance that showed the scale of the task in front of Smith.

Positives - Clark, O'Brien when he came on. Lauaki looked improved too.

Negatives - everything else.

Smith's post match comments were interesting. He said he was quite happy with the defence but that the attack was poor. Too right it was. We didn't make line break until late in the 2nd half. Halves were poor. Addy had a nightmare. We lacked any cohesion or composure.

Lots to work on.

Listened to game on radio Leeds. To be honest I thought that the ref was ok ish with the commentators summary, Bulls at times seemed clueless. Why go for goal when you had momentum on their line 8 pts behind. Then stole the draw with seconds left only to give a silly penalty in stoppage time. Time for players to take a long look at themselves i'm afraid. Very poor

Re: Bulls vs Dewsbury June 5th : Sun Jun 05, 2016 5:21 pm  

The ref was poor, but far from the reason for the loss. There were many strange decisions from the side. Three penalties on the bounce, two points behind. Run it. Run it. Kick it. Give one away. All of them involved looking at the bench with arms in the air asking what to do.
