I’d be interested to see how many players get banned or suspended till we actually did something proactive, there’s nothing more irritating than people in a higher position reacting rather than planning. Running a tiny squad with multiple injuries is quite frankly ridiculous, letting seasoned championship players leave with no replacements lined up is bizarre . Appreciate money is tight but considering we were told recruitment was more a less done before Finn signed who were we recruiting exactly, Eden was a late deal swap for walmsley and widdop a last minute deal also . Considering our pack as been weak for a while I don’t understand the recruitment at all . Why are the club even mentioning ambitions of super-league when we don’t even have a full playing squad is just annoying. They talk about player welfare and head collisions etc then ask players to play against a superleague side then a top championship side in a five day turnaround after working all week and to do this all year with no rotation available, bloody ridiculous.

@Ckt2487, no one asked for your opinion on our forum. It eas just listening to the commentary, and watching on YouTube, every other name was a loaner or dual reg. Not bitter there is a long way to go, and the way your lot fudge figures ect you might not make it that far. No not bitter, just counting the days till you get your just rewards

The club clearly have no ambition of reaching SL. The minute they gave the thumbs up to the pitiful and outrageous IMG deal proves just that.

I understand that clubs need to improve off the field but from a fans point of view most people are grafting all week and just look for some entertainment, rugby league is a working class sport for working class people. Img is just another convoluted idea to keep the status quo as it is .

I could understand the anger from the fans of other historic clubs, because when I saw the criteria for IMG, I thought it was designed for big city clubs, not for the status quo. Toulouse, London, Bradford, York etc.

It’s a niche sport and always will be in this country, the point in sport is about merit attained on the field not some ridiculous point scoring system that makes no sense to anyone. Bradford are a prime example, one of the worst stadiums in all of sports combined but finish just outside of super league in the rankings, the mind boggles, toilets like thrum hall , you need binoculars to see , a tiny bog ridden swamp where Arnold schwarzenegger was filmed hiding from the predator, a stupid block of 1970s style communist flats at on end and some dystopian decrepit steps that look like something from the day after tomorrow . 14 pts my .

Bulls got next to no points for Odsal which we can all agree is run down. 0.82 from IMG.
The difference between Bulls and other Championship clubs is that we have a highly performing foundation helping the local community 2.25 points out of 2.5. We also run a club at every level which the majority outside SL don't. But carry on as you seem to think IMG points are based just on the Stadium.

You would think in an ideal world then getting bigger cities in the top flight would make sense but as we have seen with London this year, they are miles away from been a viable SL club, and then over coming seasons I doubt we will see Bradford or York anywhere near the top flight. Toulouse maybe have a chance but realistically we will have Wakey replace London and then it will be a closed shop. The only other team seemingly in danger is Leigh and if they were to come down to the Championship and were replaced by any of the teams close on points it would just show the system up for the joke that it is.

14 minus 5 ( for having the worst stadium in all sports ) that’s the real score. It’s like looking for a restaurant and seeing what ratings it’s given online it gets an 8 but when you get there it’s a 1 with a 1 star food hygiene rating. The eyes don’t lie .

Img just a load of snake oil salesman talking nonsense. Bloody Newcastle who nearly went bust , where did that score come from , a kinder surprise egg .

You can’t just amend the IMG rules cos you don’t like them!

It isn’t about like it’s about what’s fair and proper, if I go to a posh restaurant and get there it’s like Karachi cafe I ain’t gonna be happy

Anyway on a lighter note just been reading an article about the best restaurants in Bradford and apparently grace dent has given the kashmir restaurant a Michelin star .

Really? I always preferred the Karachi to the Kashmir and Omar's Balti House is better than either.

On the rugby Fax will improve when you get some key players back from injury. We had eight out on Friday that would be 1st choice normally but we have a squad of 23 and seem to be using loans quite well to plug the gaps (only four on Friday).

Again @Ckt2487, bulls run a club at every level? Where does your funding come from?, Fax had to disband their reserve side as the RFL in their wisdom refused to help with funding as was promised. Not sour grapes, just the facts, someone likes you and what you did in the early history of SuperLeague, and with a cock eyed stare think you deserve to be a special case therefore ignore discrepancies with parts of the submission to IMG , I e you allegedly claimed crowds of over 4 k, were you counting the users the sports centre across the road?

The Sweet Centre is the best curry house in sadfud

Where does all funding come from? The main groups of tickets, sponsorship, corporate. And the small amount from central funding now. Leveraged to some extent by advertising- in print and social media footprint.

Haha. Don't mind the sweet centre. The Punjab Grill Centre on Legrams Lane is also very good but dishes can be mega mega hot.

Does Fax have a decent curry house? Would be good to have a few recommendations before our return fixture. I usually like Pajaree's Thai place which is always memorable especially for the lady in charge who is a real character.

How did Smith and Hudson get on? Saw that Hudson had to go off for a HIA. Did he end up getting back on?

Sultan Mahal.

@highlander, sale of tickets to your 4000 gate? Yeah!

Quote ="Bullseye"Really??? https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restauran ... gland.html'" Always spot on for me and would be my first choice...but havent been for a while as others have different preferences.

Hard to evaluate on a dark night/muddy pitch..but didnt notice Smith and Hudson hurt himself trying to put a shot on and didnt return...assume that meant a failed HIA..

Used to be brill, and tbh not been for a while, but must have changed owners or something.
