Come on Bulls! Dig deep!

Come on bulls.

Re: Widnes - In Game Thread : Sun Mar 30, 2014 3:33 pm  

Gale throws a forward pass and Widnes pick up and break. Less than 3 mins to go and they force a Bulls drop out.

Re: Widnes - In Game Thread : Sun Mar 30, 2014 3:34 pm  

Another loss, i honestly believe we are looking down the barrel of a gun this year.

Re: Widnes - In Game Thread : Sun Mar 30, 2014 3:38 pm  

Massive set from Bradford sees Purtell break down to the left. On the last tackle Kearney passes to Gale who attempts an inside pass. Stupid play from Gale who has been poor today. Widnes ball. Widnes play the set out and the game finishes. Poor first half and bad decisions from Gale has cost us today.

Final Score:

WIDNES (22)
Tries: OWENS, BROWN (2), AH VAN.
Conversions: TICKLE 3/4

BRADFORD (18)
Tries: SUTCLIFFE, KEAR, KEARNEY.
Conversions: GALE 3/3

I sometimes wonder if BCB commentators realise their listeners can't actually see what is happening on the pitch.

Sounds to be a decent effort from the Bulls but probably just lack some quality right now. Desperately hope for some good news this week on the recruitment front. Certainly need some experience in this squad as well, just loaning youngsters won't keep us up this year. How long left until Gaskell is fit, I think him returning will be a big boost to our attack.

Re: Widnes - In Game Thread : Sun Mar 30, 2014 3:40 pm  

Close but ultimately another loss. And another game down. We need some more players. We need to start winning. Soon.

Re: Widnes - In Game Thread : Sun Mar 30, 2014 3:41 pm  

While effort and character maybe on show again today, we needed the points with the games coming up.

I know it's hard to hear on the radio but apart from the kear try what did Gale actually do. I don't think we forced one repeat set or drop out and towards the hand he threw TWO forward passes. He needs to start doing more. Games like that is when he has to earn his money.

Some players need to realise that an average effort in a game in no good at the moment, they need to put 130% into every game no matter how tired they are.
