The hooter went well before Atkins touched the ball, even before it was kicked.
Bradford only have themselves to blame - scratching around for a few seconds at the end of a game is desparate.'"
and in addition to that.... ^^^^
if bradford hadnt made a mess of the same move 3 times, certainly one of which lead to broughys try, then they wouldnt have needed the extra 20 seconds, which actually wasnt extra, which actually didnt exist....!
likewise, if fatomona hadnt given steve 'great grandad' menzies a crap pass, they wouldnt have coughed up posession and may well have scored another try....which, without those 20 seconds, which didnt actually exist, would have won them the game anyway....
was it really the time keepers fault that bradfords ball retention was poor? we're playing well at the mo - and credit to the lads - you could say, at the moment, we're a good side ! and we all know, you carnt put ball to ground and fail to complete your sets against a good side - they will punish it and it'll cost your side the game...we've been on that side of the coin so many times
It'd be better for bradford to get thier own house in order by learning to do the basics right !
