Bradford Bulls • Newcastle (A)

Just watched the game via FreeSports on Sky TV, and as previous people have said, the start was soft, abject and lethargic, but after getting in to the game, we let them back in for two soft tries. Newcastle even went to 12 men and we didn't capitalise.

We are painfully slow all over the paddock, the forwards are big but flabby and unfit. Crossley Flanagan Kibula, Walker etc.
Its difficult for Patten/Lilley to perform behind no go forward.

But what alarmed me most was the lack of input from Dunning, everytime the camera went to him he wasn't speaking, communicating with the bench etc Denis Betts spent the whole game by his dug out, directing, coaching, advising etc.

Its a worrying appointment is Dunning, a new coach with a fresh pair of eyes, perks everybody in the squad up.
Picking Dunning has given the Bulls no 'bounce' at all.
