And so to the big hole in the ground.

Before the game id snapped hand off for a 30-16 win. Second half disappointed from a bulls point but batley got in the game and showed why they’ve done so well this season. 
 

11 games in said we would be 3rd I’d said no chance specially after round 1.

Agreed KTF and also what we have picked up today, I suspect that some where playing today carrying injuries.

Lost in the first half, can't go 24- 0 down expect anything but a defeat. Played better second half, but Bradford weren't that good, just we were worse! Thought the ref not too bad but the 3 man ball strip really for their only score in second half was ridiculous. I'll be glad when that rule disappears. Least we've got an easy game next...

Injuries are hitting us hard 

leak, JC and Kaye Tonks missing with Gledhill and Bowman 

we need the players back we will be back to our best hopefully we get them back for the 2 games in 4 days 

I bet that you can't name a Championship club that isn't struggling with injuries at present KTF. It's a tough year all round.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

two well matched teams in terms of ability, just as it has been in the last 4 games

Narrowly won the first two, significant defeats in the last two.

Cant blame injuries this time as we were still even in terms of ability but you wont win many games of this type if you constantly give penalties away and drop the ball. Thus condemning yourself to an uneven share of territory and long stints of defending.

We do not seem to be able to read the any referee, what they will pull up and what you can get away with.

Saying that trying to decapitate the opposition at every possible opportunity will reap its obvious reward

I'd broadly agree with that. It seems we have got into a habit of givi g cheap penalties away recently.Think its a matter CL has to address. We were not far off Bradford even with a patched up team and the 2nd half showed that, even though they tired. 

We are missing Gledhill and Logan badly.

Trouble is, even at 7 wins from 11 and flying high, we're now staring down the barrel of 3 losses in a row and starting to look back up the table instead of down it. We are clearly missing Tonks more than most and since there was nobody else around to bring in yet we found a hooker could there be nobody else around and bring in a troublesome forward? Halves have lost their incisive sparkle as well.

There's Toulouse, but then again they only play once a month

They had five missing when they played us. Covid also exists in France according to the papers.
