Shocking set of officials yet again, they were to fast and strong for us but the lads gave 110% but alas you can’t beat a team when you are playing against 16 🤬

Brilliant effort from the lads, first half we matched them but too strong second half alongside some abysmal officiating as usual.

No disgrace in defeat . Outstanding first half. Sadly pace and fitness told in the 2nd .

On a positive note if we can play the rest of the season like we did in the first half we should win a couple of games  that should be enough . All the sides below us lost which is another positive. Also good crowd. Would have said about 2000+. Hopefully it’ll go some way to paying the players and reducing the debt

We were never going to beat them once they got a roll on, and that's what this ref did for them in the second half, kept rubbing the tackle count down,..... easiest wsy to give a team a helping hand.
Can't complain about team effort.... but we've lost our heavy hitting forwards, without their impact we will struggle to wear the opposition down...... the way we were worn down today.

Great first half.  Let's sit back and think how many of them lads are 100% fit . Hopefully 2 week break will help out

Crowd of 1256 I think was given out thought about 1500 but great atmosphere sad abou the 2nd half display from the officials the gave everything to Bradford missed I would say 20 forward passes just a total shambles well done our lads though can’t beat 16 men

Well done Bradford players and fans great turn out from them today and good turn out from them in the bars during and after the game. Contributing much needed funds to the cause

Can't blame the officials , you can only play what's  in front of you and be smart enough to play the officials at their own game. Thought the guys played well  but same old daft penalties and indiscipline  let  us down and gave them the openings to run through second half. Missed  some props today or it could have been a different outcome.

Our line speed needs to improved we consistently let teams get up to speed before we tackle then it makes everything harder we need to get up and not give them so much time on the ball sort that we give ourself a better chance in games
