I live in hope we can persuade Lockyer that he needs a final pay year

Now that would be a signing!

I'd still prefer a Marshall or Thurston who we could have for years though

I never said either or!

Doesnt faze me. To win the comp youve got to beat somebody good at some point.

Prediction for Sunday:

Bradford 14-68 Wigan.

I've said before "i'm not looking forward to playing ......", but I don't think I've ever meant it more than Wigan next week.

I think we are playing some of the worst stuff I have ever seen in SL. This season could well end up being worse than last year. I really hope we can put in a spirited performance next week, but atm I'm dreading it.

Like Mick said on the other thread, we really are the laughing stock of SL atm.

Today came close to the bench mark game (Harlequins 35-18 Bradford last season) which I class as the most appalling Bradford performance that I've ever seen (McNamara walked after this game).

I just can't see anything remotely positive leading up to this game and if I was the BBC I would be taking the cameras to either Widnes or Huddersfield.

Potter isn't the type to quit, but if I was him I'd be asking alot of questions of myself.

Do the players not want to play for him?

Edited for more likely explanation

OK - we are quite simply abysmal at the minute.

Hopefully the coaching staff can get the guys focused this week, as in all honesty, this is now our cup final.

We are starting to lose pace with 8th in the league and not playing at all well.

IF, the coaching staff get the players up for the cup (as it is only one game and anything could happen), we may give Wigan a game. Wigan could clock off, suffer a couple of injuries early in the game, have a man sent off, ANYTHING.

OK, I may be clutching at straws, but, the players can this week forget about the league and focus on one game, knowing that they are not expected to win. This might mean they play a little more relaxed as at the moment we are seeing some silly basic errors, which personally, I feel come from the pressure of this current losing run and the pressure that is now being placed onto them by the fans.

Like others have said I'd be happy with a solid performance where every member off the squad gave their all (similar to Leeds at home at Easter and Wire in the cup last year). If we compete for the first 15 minutes then collapse like we have done in so many games this year it could be a very long afternoon for the Bradford fans.

We are playing for pride at the moment.

Playing for pride? You've got to be joking? More like playing for money!

this round is still free for U16 season ticket holders - check your voucher book (I'm assuming all SL U16 season tickets are the same???? - our lads is £26 with vouchers for away games and up to this round challenge cup)

Really feel for you guys reading this board. With it being a cup game and PD not mattering I hope its a close fought battle (with a Wigan win obviously

) Looking forward to the trip over, Odsal is my favourite away ground.

Things can only get better! Look where Wigan were 5 years ago & look at us now



See you all on Sunday!

Cheers for the support. Wigan had a wealthy financial backer to get them back on track though. Our road looks a lot longer and bumpier without such a luxury.

Could this be a 70 pointer?



I fear it could.

Could you be a total no-pointer?

I fear you could.

Well, we have scored a few lately for sure, but I suspect Wigan will be able to stop us scoring 70 to be fair.

I thought you were saying that to Bully Boxer for a minute!

Until I realised the tit whose utterly pointless posts I hid a while back had posted inbetween

A can feel a temporary banning coming along for a certain Rhino gloater.

Bit unfair to tits there? At least a tit has the odd useful purpose or two...?

Come on big gleds kid - where is the faith ha ha

[url=http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/5311/WIGAN%20CUP%20TICKETS%20VIRALAgain the Bulls with all the right ideas but failing on the execution.[/url

I think trying to get a viral video is a really good, forward thinking, idea but what is there in [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHmt5I5qbys&feature=youtu.bethis video[/url to make me want to paste it on and then all my mates do the same?

IMO I would have produced a video similar to the NFL viral videos a couple of years ago which showed players pulling of imposable tricks using alot of post video editing but the result would be something people would talk about and show each other e.g. Royston catching kicks blindfolded or Burgess bursting through a brick wall etc.

Regardless of any media being sent out, aslong as the loyal supporters who have stuck with the team through thick and thin over the last few years and not just the £60 goers we should still see at least 7000 bulls fans in attendance...............

................If not i could only assume the last 3 seasons have taken there toll on people and they just cant be bothered anymore

This game will be a lot closer than most of you Bulls fans think, I don't see anymore than 12 points in it myself. I'm confident we can win, if we play as we know we can, but there's been a few games during the last couple of seasons were we have slipped up for one reason and another, we're a hot and cold team, brilliant or dire.

You're at home, it's the cup, your plqyers will probably have been beasted this week, they'll not want to embarass themselves in front of the cameras etc etc.

I just have a feeling it won't be as one sided as you all think.

Also, don't forget, we have been in the same place during the last 5 or 6 years, and have come back from it, I for one hope it goes the same way for you lot, we need a strong Bradford team in the league, I've loved clashes between our teams in the past, we need that again.
