Easier said than done! Unless you've got a new sure-to-work technique that Potter doesnt know about. If so, please send it to Mr M Potter, c/o Bradford Bulls, Odsal Stadium, Bradford

While it's not a must game, we have to improve our cohesion with the ball in hand.

At times today it was very flat and I saw too much one man Rugby League and let's be honest against a side like Wigan, a scoot from dummy half every other play is not going to unlock their defence.

I would start by not standing about admiring him, but getting stuck in.

That's why I think we need Addy, Southernwood or Herbert in the side.

Somebody capable of producing something different. We were so predictable today, and whilst that may work against some sides, Wigan won't let you fall over the line with the ball.

Agree again mate.

Southernwood and Addy have to be considered for the visit to Wrexham?

I asked about when Herbert is due back and got a lukewarm response.

Maybe the scoreline against will be similar, with defence like that we can keep them down to a similar scoreline. I doubt we can be as good in attack against the NRL champions.

There isn't much Bradford could do in defence against our play outwide and our quick PTB etc. but had they done better in the forward battle and had a slightly better kicking game then we would not of had so many oppertunities. St George will have a better kicking game than the Bulls did today and will no doubt have more punch.

I'm glad to see Tomkins has stopped trapping the oppositions arm under the ball whilst attacking the line. I can't seem to remember him doing it today.

I'm sure that would have already been on the Bulls players agenda already.............

However, he is the RFL's golden child! Any slight tackle on him results in an automatic penalty.

Apparently not today.

Don't forget Pat and Hock as well.

please dont talk b0ll0x

You're joking, right? He gets crunched every week. The lad is as tough as nails to keep on getting up after some of the crap that's thrown his way.

That's why I can see you walking Super League this season.

Tomkins was class today. It's all very well saying we should tackle him but it's much easier said than done.

I agree. When he chimes into the line he is virtually unstoppable.

Wigan are going to be very tough to beat this year. Honestly, I think the Grand Final is theirs to lose, so long as they can keep at that level.

It's VERY early for that kind of talk.

Yes, they were very good today and will be up there come the end of the season.

To say it's theirs to lose is a little disrespectful to the other teams IMO

Wigan where exceptionally well drilled with every one understanding their roles. They ruthlessly go at your weakness whilst controlling the ruck better than any other team in the competition. It would take a very strong team to beat them over a full season.

I don't think its disrespectful at all, although I do agree its early. Wigan could get a run of injuries or lose form.

But having watched all the games on Sky over the Magic Weekend, two games this weekend, and today's game live of course, I don't see a team that's really on their level

Just my opinion of course

Back to back titles for Wigan this year. They look strong enough to win everything.

I think we have to accept that this year's recruitment policy was about building a good squad depth, which we sorely need at the moment, which has meant forgoing some quality.

We're not going to beat a team like Wigan, or even give them a close game, when we're so predictable in attack. We desparately need options other than giving the ball constantly to Kearney and scoring from last tackle kicks.

Next week should give us a better indication of where we really stand.

Agreed to a point.

A lack of any half back really didn't help.

I said when the fixtures came out that next week (Crusaders) was our "start of the season".
A win next week is vital IMO

It was good to be back at Odsal and have a big crowd in attendence.

I do think we played well today, but its good to see we have a lot of areas we can improve on, and our squad will get stronger when Pat, Lima, Finch and then Hock arrive back in the squad.

Regarding tackling Sam, many have tried and many have failed - I dont think he played that well today. He was ouur man of the match dont get me wrong, but theres a lot more to come from him when he gets match sharpness up as he missed a chunk of pre season injured.

All the best with the season until we meet again.

i cannot believe that team is going to have hock, richards, lima and finch to come into it. scary thought

I wish I knew how they afford it!

Sam is a truly exceptional player - just amazing to watch. How the hell you tackle someone with his skills is one big question.
