Well Said!

What I am looking forward to most is seeing an improvement in performances from now until the end of the season. I dont mean every week, but if we can find a bit of a rythm and string a few wins together then I think we will be in the mix of top four. All the sides are going to lose games this season, and all sides will lose games they dont expect, just like Leeds will get beat at Odsal on good friday.

Why? Who will they be playing?

Bradford Bulls.

What i find funny is all the PT brigade used to say that we couldn't judge a team on 4 games yet after 1 win everythings now on the up.

He has a point...

Although not seen too many suggesting everything is OK now...but even you can't deny that the trend is slightly better than it was?

And anyway, your post lost all credibility when you referred to the PT "Brigade".



At the moment, its all the PT can do to muster half a platoon...

Why be so negative about things? we are on the board, lets look to the next game and next few weeks and see how things go. It could be worse we could be in last place.

Indeed, but we're 5 games in now.

A whole 5 games out of a 27 round season?

Who was it who said "everything's on the up"? What is this, cliche week? We had some other joker claiming that the PT now believe after one win "everything in the garden's rosy".



Wasn't me, anyway. What I did question was why when the team does well, so few have anything positive to say, and none of the NT have anything to say at all.

Topics like this one suggest a very naive view that "everything's on the up"

10 days ago I saw the first sand martin reported in the area. No-one really believed me until 2 showed up last weekend.

The funny thing about all this is that if we went through the rest of the season losing just these 3 games, then it would be deemed a success would it not?

It's unfortunate that we have had 3 losses, back to back, at the beginning of the season, and it looks bad, 3 losses anywhere else, it wouldn't even be an issue.

We won our last game, Leeds didn't, Hull didn't etc. So our current form is better than theirs.



I'm feeling quite positive.

Sorry to rain on your parade but Hull and Leeds form is still better than ours

WWWWL is better than DLLLW

Indeed.

Consider these run of results

2003
London (h) L 12-22
Hull (a) W 26-20
Wolves (a) W 24-20
Wigan (h) L 22-35
St.Helens (h) L 0-35

2005
St.Helens (h) L 4-66
Hudds (a) W 38-20
Widnes (h) D 25-25
Leeds (a) L 26-36
Wakefield (a) L 34-44

And we all know what happened in those years.
As you rightly point out, the poor run is accentuated with is been at the start of the year.

OTOH, by the theory that "[iYou're only as good as your last game[/i" . . .

Ok, I will change that to PRESENT form then.

I did think of forming the OT, thinking that O comes between N and P, but decided that its a bit close to OTT which would give the wrong impression and also clashes with Off Topic.

The Neutral Tendency sounds good being neither positive or negative, but unfortunately is abbreviated to NT and would cause confusion with the other NT.

"Usually Positive But Not Delusional Tendency" probably best sums up my mood but UPBNDT isnt very snappy. Any other suggestions?

The Indifferent Tendency? T.I.T

The government will be so proud of this self categorising.

They'll be getting some consultants in to set up the relevant databases as I type.

Oh it's all gone quiet on here,
Yes it's all gone quiet on here..................

We scored 38 points.

At the start of the season we couldn't get over the line.

Must be a positive from the game compared to the start of the season.

It is so frustrating at the minute as we aren't really that far off. We've been in a position that meant we should have won the last two games. Both only lost by 2 points and the odd decision by the ref / players involved either way and we could have won both and we'd all be looking forwards to Friday with a little optimism rather than the fear of god.

However, I am bloody annoyed and this is doubled by the fact that I can't make it to the match on Friday due to family commitments.

And you think that's a good thing?

Christ sake, I wish it was the other way round. I wish the people on here who've held faith with McNamara had that faith justified and could rub it in the faces of those of us who've said sack the coach. And do you know why? Because it'd mean the Bulls would have turned the corner, that they'd gotten over what ever malase they had at the begining of the season and were kicking on to bring back the glory days. But it's not going to happen. And that's what makes the whole situation hard to swallow
