A bet on Lenny? OK, I bet you 20 quid that he cannot bugger off back to the Leeds forum.

I'm afraid not mr Bully Boxer:
Not very good at reading the context of my posts are you?




I'm theirfor intimating that the highest position that i believe that the Bulls will finish in the 2009 SL table is 5th, by my reckoning that means that you have to finish at least 4th in order to disagree with my statement

I'll bet you a grand.

Your not very good at reading either are you?

Oh I understood your post well enough, I just thought you were that confident you'd give me a fighting chance



In your mind 5th is our absolute maximum finish and taking the average, you feel 6th is most likely.. so I thought you'd still be feeling reasonably confident.

Nice back track mate, but no you clearly didn't







Where did i state that 6th was the bulls most likely finish?

and how did you come to this assumption, apart from your weird mathmatic skills?

I took the average of the 3 positions you felt were most likely. What's weird about those mathematics? Since you felt we could finish as low as 7th I thought me choosing the very highest possible finish in your mind.. you would bite my hand off. But your fell out your jeans..

Why would you do that if someone forecast finishing in any position between 7th and 5th? It makes no sense.

As I said Lenny, since he felt 7th was a possibility I thought it was fair to assume that he felt 5th wasn't as likely as 6th.

But I'll take 4th or upwards Biffy so you have yourself a deal, I assume you have paypal.

Why? He clearly felt that any of the positions between 7th and 5th were equally likely hence his comment.

I'll take that.

I'll publish my Swiss bank account number on here for you to plunder.

Where do you fancy us to finish Mr LL?

4th - 5th

What's the wink for?

BTW I didn't mean 4.5.... That's the average...

Well I'm not going to suggest a bet with you if I have a wager with biffy for 4th or above. I wondered if you were just trying to better you odds..

No, just a genuine answer I think Bradford will finish in 4th or 5th.

Nor you, it would appear

. . . "if yours puts his money where his mouth is"

Bulls are very very tricky to predict.

I don't like Leeds fans attitude towards them this season, it's far too c[io[/ick sure and there's not enough caution in the air.

I would warn them about what the bulls could potentially achieve but i'll get accused of trolling..blah blah blah.

If you look at 2007 bradford performed pretty well, falling short at crucial times. Leeds were certainly lucky in the points they took off the bulls.

Last season i felt you had a [ibetter[/i squad than 07, this was reflected in bookies taking you to finish top. However you performed far worse.

I think alot of new signings then injuries to them, lots of chopping and changing, you just never had chance to settle.

Again this season i feel your overall squad is better than last season. So my prediction if for you to challenge for top 2 and have a good shot at making a final.

The thing is, last season means nothing, and sometimes teams can improve ten fold just by better training and work ethic rather any tangible changes to staff and personnel.

People can harp back to the backline and what not, but bradford have a very good pack and when you have that you always stand a chance in big games, as long as you can get your first choice pack out.

This is my opinion on Bradford.

surely they must be kidding?

why didn't you post using your saints fan alias? or your bulls fan alias?

=rededit

I agree with most of this. Bradford are difficult to predict for next season. If the Bulls can avoid injury to their best players they could be one of the major competitors for the title. A top 3 finish is certainly possible.

The only teams I would say Bradford will struggle to finish above are Leeds, Saints and Warrington, possibly Wigan. Of these teams, Saints are noticeably weakened compared to last season, Warrington look to continue being perennial underachievers with Lowes in charge (their main achilles heel IMO) and Briers given too much a pivotal role, whereas Wigan just don't have the X-factor. Even Leeds start too look weak if Peacock gets a long term injury.

A positive start to the season is needed though to prove to the players, coach and fans that the problems of 2008 have been finally dealt with.

Hull and Les Catalans could also pose threats. In the case of the latter I feel that more teams will be going to France with their 'A-game' after last years exploits so they (French players in particular) will have to improve again. It is difficult for clubs breaking into the top 6 one year to follow this up with renewed success the following year, as Hull & Salford have already found out.

any of you lot still fancy a top 4 finish for the bulls?

The Super League is upside down...
