Cant wait to see the missed tackles !!!!!!! Fair play to Agar - he hasnt held no punches - after reviewing the highlights can you can see why. The pack was utter dross !!!!!! Washbrook, Kirmond and Poore were totally shown up in the tackle and the defence was soft.

If we show that lack of passion next week, it will be same again but you would expect a reaction !!!

A wee dram the man said and he wasnt wrong

29 missed tackles by my reckoning



Some shocking performances !!!

Stats don't lie I wonder why we lost.

387 tackles 55 by Aiton says it all really, 6 attacking kicks from the halves 3 each compared to 24 12 each from the Bulls

I'm seem to recall Oli Wilkes doing an 'attacking kick' in the second half - ball went high up in the air and he was on hand to tackle the Bradford receiver. Not a mention in them stats

Unless my maths is playing up according to those stats Bradford missed 35 tackles! Says about our ball retention and discipline

Makes interesting reading - the usually excellent Kirmo missing 5 tackles and making 2 (handling?) errors.

Mathers with most carries, most meters and most tackle busts, make of that what you will.

13 Tackle busts says a lot for Jarrud Sammut though, is that all down to poor tackling or was Sammut just on fire and bossing every collision?

It was obvious to anyone with eyes that Mathers was our stand-out player; despite that, a few old lags behind me were still bagging him. He did all the things that some people will have you believe he can't or won't do in defence, then joined the line and tried to get things moving in attack. When we were behind the sticks after conceding yet another soft try, he was berating his team-mates and trying to get them organised, and one of said old lags shouted at him to stop yelling and start doing something. Stunning!



As for Sammut - he was opportunistic and it came off for him, largely because up the middle, we tackled like U8's.

If there was a stat for 5th play attack it would be also very embarrassing - the amount of ''Up n Unders'' we did on the 5th play just showed how very little we had to offer and as mentioned Ollie Wilkes did a massive ''bomb'' not that any of the ''bombs'' were any good.

Totally agree in fact apart from aitons tackling mathers was the only stand out player - caught all the high bombs, made the tackles he had to one on one and gave it his all - you cant please some people after all DONT confuse me with the facts my mind is already made up!!

This is why I raised it, I feel that whilst the majority of our fans have eyes, there are quite a few wearing blinkers and just bag the man at every opportunity.

Mathers was our best player by a mile. Same people who were bagging him also blaiming the ref. You just cant educate pork
