Rubbish would have been an improvement over what Bradford served up today.

It's very easy to blame the ref when you lose, which is why I'm about to do it. He allowed Fax to mess about in the tackle, flop on already tackled players and basically allow Fax to get away with murder

However, the ref didn't cause us to knock on over the line leading to a Fax score.
He didn't allow the ball to be stolen on the first tackle.
He didn't kick the ball aimlessly into the air on the 5th tackle every set.

We seem to be going backwards under Smith. We're not going to make top 4 this season so I don't know what that'll do to the budgets for next year, but the Bulls cannot go on asking the fans to pay SL prices for under 8's performances.

Actually, that's unfair. At least under 8's know to hold onto the ball

Re: Fax (H) : Sun Jun 26, 2016 4:23 pm  
Really disappointing today, way way off the pace. Our line speed over the last few games has been really slow, don't know if this is part of Smiths defensive plan but it isn't working. Fax won the collision over and over again. Why can't Bulls get 'up' for games like our opponents do, their props ran harder all the game. Today just showed what a couple of decent (not world beating) half backs can do. There was no cohesion between Charnock and Addy whatsoever. I don't know where these two Aussie halfbacks are but we better get them here double quick because we won't and don't deserve to be in the top four playing like we did today.

Re: Fax (H) : Sun Jun 26, 2016 4:23 pm  
Same old.

No creativity whatsofekkinever. Curse the arts holes who have left us with no scum Half all these years. We look utterly lost with the ball.

Our kamikaze self-destruct infection is absolutely rampant at the moment. This too has gone on for years, and is harder to explain, but the whole team sometimes has a determination to find ever more bizarre ways to give the opposition the ball back. Today's Gold Award was whoever caught the ball in goal, went one way, then the other, then dropped it in front of a Fax player. How do you coach against this stuff?

Runner up- Welham. A good Bulls move, not tackled, could do anything, so chooses to get himself bundled into touch.

Overall, Fax looked so much livelier and inventive, and when in attack, always posed a threat. We were the opposite, one man plunges and kicks is pretty much all we had to offer and so with all the possession we had inside their 20, you never thought we were going to score, just no idea at all.

Looking for any positives, not many today. We started okay (but only posted 6 points for all that position and effort). Our pack probably matched theirs. Pitts and O'Brien did well. But while we probably do have a number of decent players potentially, the lack of any halfback lead means we end up looking like a team of plodders. If we don't make the 8s it may be a mercy. If we were playing the Rhinos they would need a Cray supercomputer to keep the score.

Re: Fax (H) : Sun Jun 26, 2016 4:31 pm  
Would help if we had some sort of settled squad, and its like banging your head against a brick wall but when you look at Fax what a difference a settled half back combo make. Season is as good as over now, we'll get a thumping from Leigh next week and be looking for other results to bail us out to make 4th now.

Smith has been given an impossible task, we held on to Lowes for too long so he hasn't really got enough time with some of the deadwood in the squad to change anything for a proper promotion push, but it's a long way until the start of next year to make his own squad.

We start of games well enough like today and last week, but as soon as the opposition score we haven't a clue what to do. Thought we were unlucky to go in at HT behind, but second half we never turned up. Out enthused again by Fax, think some of those who played in this fixture over Easter might have learned a lesson about team spirit. Not much to shout about at the moment.

Hey guys. Wake up. In this league people are going to mess around in the tackle. They've done it for the last two years. Haven't you realised?

Don't think Smith has been given impossible task. He needs to get through to the nuggets that not only are the not SL standard but they are only average CH players. If they want to keep getting paid to play rugby and not get paid to work in a factory and get £30 to play rugby they need to get their fingers out,

We can get all technical about the play the ball and speed of ruck etc.

At the end of the day Fax wanted it and we didn't. They were prepared for a fight. We weren't. We were utterly bullied.
