Bradford Bulls coach Brian Noble has blamed last Sunday's defeat at London Broncos on a combination of complacency, a lack of composure and individual rather than collective skills.

And the players, back in training for the first time since last weekend, feel certain they have learned their lesson from watching a video nasty yesterday.

Players and coaching staff spent part of their lunchtime viewing the surprise 15-14 defeat, and Noble said: "The players are very astute and they know they underperformed by a long way given our standards.

"Sometimes you have to take a slip on the mountain to recognise you nearly fell off, but it has been sneaking up on us a little bit.

"We didn't get two points and I don't think it will be that pivotal at the end of the year, but I am sure the players are a bit disappointed with what they came up with, and it was nice to be able to highlight where we went wrong.

"We have seen the pictures, and sometimes you don't truly know how you underperformed until you have seen them and know what needs addressing.

"It is a long, long season, and it was great that we got to see those pictures. The boys are very frustrated about the way we played.

"And it has been great to see the video not just for the players, but for the coaching staff too, and we have refocused and changed some things. There is no complacency in the camp now."

Noble, who is already looking forward to the Bulls' next match at home to St Helens a week tomorrow, added: "Now we have a great chance to re-focus and kick on again.

"We would have preferred a match this weekend - be it a Challenge Cup semi-final or a Tetley's Super League match.

"In reality though, St Helens will be a very tough game, and our aim is to play good rugby league. We didn't at the weekend, and that is what disappoints us the most. Generally when we play good rugby league we win, and we were not good enough on the day to win.

"London are tough on their own midden, but we expected that. The effort from the boys was 100 per cent - I am not criticising that, but I am criticising their composure. "St Helens are a very, very good team and we will need to play well - better than we came up with this week.

"Yes, there was an element of fatigue, but it was the same for London. We thought everybody was going to win it individually, and you cannot do that in rugby league. It is about getting better each week, and I am really confident we will bounce back."

l Ian Millward, outspoken coach of Chall-enge Cup holders St Helens, claimed Wig-an Warriors had secured the easier draw after being paired with Castleford in the semi-finals.

But any possibility of complacency on Wigan's part at Headingley tomorrow will have been erased completely by the Tigers' 74-16 defeat of Salford last weekend and Wigan's 20-18 home defeat against Hull.
