That's the worry for me too & McD's comments do not make me think this year will be any better.

Not 100% accurate. One lesson that McDermott & GH did learn was that the club had been sold a pup in the form of Beau Falloon and there was a small improvement once they'd addressed that. But beyond that, I'd agree.

Not impossible that further lessons have been taken on board since then but so much this year is going to depend upon Parcell imo.

They made improvements towards the end of the regular season, it just came too late to avoid the Middle 8's.

My recollection of last season, hazy now I must admit, is that our 6th tackle options were woeful throughout.
Hopefully McGuire's return fully fit will go some way towards remedying that.

I have just fallen off my chair at the new that Toovey is to take over at Bradford. Talk about banging your head against a wall. A coach of that quality in Championship rugby, whilst we continue to persist with this idiot who calls himself a coach. We deserve all we get.

If this news is correct (only one media source thus far), one would assume the new owners (Chalmers and Lowe) aims and aspirations are somewhat are higher than the pub team which the club has resembled over the past few years.

Toovey or McDermott as coach?

Tricky one that... not really

Now confirmed. Un f****** believable.

And our Championship opposition tonight, coached by Tim Sheens.

Bet I'm not the only one thinking that if Leeds [ihad[/i recruited Toovey, then certain posters would have been harping on about Manly's decline on his watch. And his lack of trophies

Salford have also signed Todd Carney.

can he get a work permit for uk, and if he can, he's crock, if he's on pay as you play deal fair do's. to them

Spot on. Think it says a lot about the guy and his questionable motivation for joining a club who have zero chance of promotion this year and could struggle for a few years after that to get it when he could've easily gotten a SL job in time even if you discount Leeds.

I wasn't talking about McGuire.

Am pleased for the long-suffering Bradford fans though.

Bradford better than Leeds in so many ways.

Better coach.
Better curry restaurants.
And it's got a Taco Bell.

You've posted some garbage over the years but that just about takes the biscuit.
& before you say it, I know what I'm talking about having been brought up & educated in Bradford for the first 21 years of my life.
Whenever I go back now it's so depressing though it has actually improved over the past couple of years.
Bradford has still got a way to go to even approach Leeds as a city in which to live work & play.
Grudgingly, I may concede on the curry restaurants.

Batley by plenty!


Broadway > Trinity by plenty!


Bradford has a permanent skating rink.
Leeds hasn't.
HTH


Grudgingly?
Not a single curry restaurant in Leeds comes even close to the Top 20 in Bradford.

That actually made me laugh.

If Parcell has dodgy hammy's then he's going to love heavy ground in a British February.

Who cares? Curry is cr@p.

Broadway is White Rose in the middle of Bradford at best and puts the city on par with Doncaster at worse!

Bundobust and Tharavadu are both in the Michelin Guide so Leeds can more than match Bradford for curries. We've not even got onto East, Deeva, Manjit's kitchen, Kerala and Hansa’s.

Sheffield had a taco bell before Bradford. Leeds will get one eventually since its a fast food restaurant.

Bradford does have a better cinema than us though..

I must say,most of your posts become dependant on an individual..Parcell now the messiah..

actually people have said he looks a good fit going on his first run out. but you feel free to make up what you like

Who says that?
If you read the posts properly & in context nobody suggests he's the messiah but in fact will at least potentially give us a decent 9 which along with a regular HB pairing we critically missed last year.
That doesn't equate to him being a messiah but a vital part to the balance of our team as it is with every team.
