Bradford Northern 1979

That loss is not the worst result in the world
If we had won and then we'd likely be playing Salford in the first round of the playoffs
Now we need to beat Cas then go to Hudds unless Salford throw the game against Warrington

Salford and Huddersfield are both good teams, either would be a very difficult match

If we get into the six there are no easy games, which is the way it should be

They are, but on current form I wouldn't want to face Salford.

And I know we've beaten both recently at home and lost to both away

Id be amazed if weve more than 1 round of play off rugby in us.

To be fair after the start we had to the season to be within a shot of getting 5th is a minor miracle

He said “its front on contact, as we discussed earlier in the year, its just a penalty”.

Yep, thats right, the blatant shoulder charge by Whare, which was reviewed by Thaler, was deemed “front on” contact. Im at a loss. It was fractionally late, at the pass, could be argued, but it was a shoulder charge none the less.

Absolutely, Smith and the whole squad have done amazingly well, I just think we will be spent and nursing some players who've had to do it tough.

There you go then, stick your shoulder in as hard as you want lads as long as its in his ribs. Makes an even bigger joke out of Martins ban
