Surely we can stretch to a packet of crisps and a sausage roll? His contract can’t be worth much.

That is a massive understatement... Bradford a run down town! It makes Mixenden look like London!

Awful game. I expected a Halifax win but so disappointing we roll over and don’t put up a fight until the second half. We do seem to struggle on game plans.
The inconsistency is baffling. I can understand losing to a better team on the day, but to beat some of the teams we have this year to then put in performances like yesterday, Keighley away and York away makes no sense.
Not just Halifax alone but you do have to laugh at the same comments every week suggesting when X wins its because Y team was bad and not because X team played well… coping mechanisms on show maybe. Crazy to think that just maybe Bradford and Halifax are not far apart in class and both up and down in performances.
Anyway 1-1 and another good mix and atmosphere. Entering an interesting set of fixtures before we meet again at Odsal mid June. Anyones guess what both teams will look like by then.

Our glorious leader was, apparently, telling everyone who'd listen we were too light in the forwards for the game and the club expected to lose. Sounds like we went in as a club with that mindset.

Aye. I think there is a gulf in application and attitude between us and Fax, not in talent. They don't want to be grubbing around in the meh category with us, but I'm afraid they probably are.
I quite like the yin and Yang of the gledhill dunning interviews one trying excitedly to convince Bradford fans they’ve multiple super league players on the horizon and are more or less superleague ready and dunning who’s voice could send someone high on amphetimines and coffee to sleep .

Mick's reluctance to ask awkward questions because he works for the club doesn't help us get to the nitty gritty does it? I remember back in the day when the T&A reporter (I'm remembering Brian Smith) would have no qualms about calling out players and coaches if needed. It was part of the deal and the club accepted it. Are people too precious nowadays?

To be fair to Mick, he does ask better questions than the T&A. Mick wasn't doing the interviews on saturday. Even just a simple "this is the third time the games been over by HT, is that a worry"

Where’s this come from?
