I would much prefer it if we cut through all this red tape and paid the new bloke cash in hand. It would be a lot quicker and the money we'd save on tax could be used to fund a bid for Greg Inglis. Sadly our board have no ambition.

Bloody 'ell. Do you do accounts??

He used to work in Melbourne but had to leave recently without apparent reason.

Hmmm contradicting yourself just for an argument.

Au contraire.

But then with all the biting you do, your dentist must revel in the appointments.

OH DEAR....

You still upset that Geoff Evans doesn't email you personally daily about the latest injuries update?

Hood also called for fans to join the club in presenting a united front for the remainder of the campaign.

“Certainly within the dressing room and the club there is a great feeling of togetherness and it would be tremendous if that could be reflected across the terraces as well,” he said.

“We really do need the fans to get behind the boys. They’re determined to put right the shortfalls of recent weeks and get into that eight.”

Mick Potter is expected to be confirmed as the next Bulls coach by the end of the week.


If we assume the local T&A reporter is somewhat getting the inside line we should all know by the end of the week, excellent news, then we can all get to arguing over the appointment.



I'd also hope people do get back to Odsal on sunday and show some real support for the club, we need to win this game, no reason why we can't, Maccas gone for people who that was an issue so lets get behind the team on Sunday!

for issue substitute excuse and you'll be closer to the mark. And it'll now morph into st hilaire still being part of maccas team so they still wont go.

Do y'know, I had the phrase "convienent excuse" typed in but removed it for issue. Because I ssupect you're right, but I'm trying to hope not, and inject some positive vibes to pursude anyone who might be 50/50 about coming along. Now is exactly when the team need support from the terraces.

No one has to go, of course not, its everyones choice how they spend their cash and its an expensive business following the Bulls these days for not much return.....But..... there has been a significant number of people on here and elsewhere who cited Macca as a reason for not attending (wheather it was true or not), it would be good if these fans came back now to support the club.

And like I said on another thread, if in doubt just don't get too hung up on the long term issues, if you like Rugby League and Bradford is/was your team then just turn up to watch the given 80 mins entertainment this week, or whichever week you can make it, attend each game for its own sake, I suspect this weekend could be good entertainment.

And if you do want to take the long term view, surely the sucess if/when it returns will feel all the sweeter after being there through the harder times rather than just rocking up to a final. Thats what I'm telling myself anyway

as I'm just one of the mugs that turns up week in week out no matter what, because this week [imight [/ibe the week we come good

Sad because its true

is daily mails RL writer for some reason more likely to be in the know or is he just guessing like all the other hacks?

According to Mr Murphy's twitter we shall know the new coach by 7am tomorrow morning.

He's guessing, I'm still hoping it's Iestyn Harris.

I've read four different people saying it's definitely Potter and it will be announced tomorrow, then one spanner in the works saying it's definitely Jason Taylor and they were waiting for his work permit to be approved before announcing it.

That sounded quite plausible, but Potter would need a work permit renewing too, If it isn't him it would be a surprise, but either of them will do.

It's already on Potter's wikipedia entry so it must be true - 3 year contract, and it wasn't me who changed it - Gledhill what have you been up to this afternoon?

I'd be happy with either tbh. think clue is connor murphys comment in his twitter that he hasnt been wrong in his speculation during build up, afaik he's never mentioned taylor so it looks like its gonna be potter.

Well I don't recall Murphy mentioning JT much in the 'build up' so you'd have to think that Potter is pretty much nailed on now. I'd be gobsmacked if another name was announced tomorrow. I said early on that he would be my choice from the SL based possibilities and I reckon he'll do a very good job for us.

I can't wait for him to get started, his knowledge of the SL based players will be helpful since our options for recruitment are limited by the quota.

I've just read Murphy's latest tweet, apparently the new man is excited about coming to Bradford.

In that case, we can rule out anybody who has ever been to Bradford.

Unless of course that person has been living in St Helens?

Precisely. Connor has been saying from the start that Potter is the favourite and now he's saying he hasn't been far off, so it looks like it's nailed on. Said in one tweet we'll all know by 7am tomorrow anyway.

It's Potter then.
