Shocking 2nd half, they went out there thinking the game was over and just simply didnt turn up. Too many errors

We didn't create anything in the second half and didn't pressurise them enough. Our defence through the middle for their tries wasn't good enough...


Have we had an easy start? We can't go unbeaten, just see how the team reacts next week and see where we are on the large scale of things.

And worse of all Nobles is smirking all over his smuck face on sky. we just looked like we never turned up second half. Sky idiots going on about the wind and now talking about soccer fans watching ffs, what a pair of prats.

we made to many mistakes and look out for the head hunter now looking to scalp certain player for minor mistakes that led to us getting narrowly beaten.

If we had played better in the second half and been beaten i wouldnt feel so bad but id now hate to see us up against a real gd team on form after that performance

Sheer stupidity but the players / coach will learn from it. Game thrown away sadly despite a truly gutsy effort by Bradford. The first half reflected the difference in standard but also potential pitfalls as we did not respect possession.

Carmont getting injured was huge. Not convinced Joel to centre was a great call. Bailey to centre perhaps. A prime example of stupidity was Piggy for I think the Bulls first try. Hall looked like he was going to get the ball. Piggy is big mates with Hall so he wanted to put a hit on him, left the line, gap for Orford to pass into and try time.

We missed Mossop. Deacon, Feka and Bailey returning from injury is not strong enough. Mickey Mac would have been a great player tonight had he been fit.

The Carmont injury really threw us into disaray. Argghhh we were so much better than Bradford in that first half and another nilling looked possible. Drop your guard and standard you get punished. No need to panic, just annoying. May do the players some good.

Shame Amos did not score from that run what a try it would have been.

We seemed quite complacent in 2nd half and gave the impression that we didn't need do anything in particular. It had to happen sometime and better now than at the business end of the season and hopefully we'll learn from it.
Speaking of Noble - if that is the type of haircut you get in Wrexham we had all better give it a wide berth! :D

Disaapointing display from Wigan of old - perhaps a good wake up after an easy win last week. Given our previous defensive muster I'm really diappointed to see how a 20 point lead eveaporated.

Lots of enthusiasm early on and lots of opportunity wasted with forced plays.

Onwards and upwards - lets see what the mettle is for next week.

Nothing to panic about. Just annoying. A good 10 minutes and 1 score in the second 40 would have been a win. Carmont going off really hurt us.

Does anyone know if Mossop is carrying an injury as he has been outstanding in recent weeks. I realise it is good to rotate players where possible but thought we missed him tonight
