You can't be a bull,if your horns crumple.

Smith is a coach, Lowes isn't. Today was a shambles but Smith got us in a short time to a position where our destiny was in our own hands, yet it is not his team and he's only been here 5 minutes. No doubt he will take the responsibility, but what I am saying is the overriding point that while could have performed better, Fev would still have won 19 times out of 20 in that game cos Fev are better than we are.

What happens if we can't even afford to pay the 2017 contracted players?

We could quite feasibly be in a position right now where our wage bill is significantly higher than our central funding / income in general.

Does anyone foresee any good or encouraging news coming out of Odsal any time soon? Because I don't.

I don't think we deserved anything from the game and certainly not a replay but the game was easily 4 min plus short.
Tje clock never got stopped when the ref called it..yet the game ended when the clock did

start by removing Ferres.

I think we now need to get the players that will be here next year out on the park in the Losers Trophy. However I would send today's 17 on the trips to Cumbria.

1. Its not the official clock.
2. The clock runs when the ref stops the clock then when he waves play back on the clock is reset at the correct time when the ref called time off.

God, we didn't need another 4 mins. We could have shipped 50.

Firstly well done fev. You wanted it more and I wish you the best of luck.

On to our lot. yes the omission of O'brien was just plain wrong. But lets be honest, how much of a difference would hr have made? 1-17 were an utter disgrace today. Its a team game.

Gutless, passionless, lack of effort and Fev wanted it more. Ran harder, tackled harder end of. Thought Thaler came with an agenda but that is not the reason we lost. We lost because we're a gutless shower and Fev were by far the better team.

The players dont seem to realise what that result means for us.

Last point. Are Danny Addy and Matty Blythe the worst players to ever pull on a bulls shirt?

Training at West Bowling U8s is in order for them 2 to learn how to catch pass and tackle.

You obviously use a blindfold to drive around your "city"

I see you are used to the driving habits of our citizens.

I DO FA,your Burgers are pretty good.

Unforgivable performance from the Bulls. Unforgivable.

the game ended when the official timekeepers sounded the hooter. Any clock you can see has NOTHING to do with it.

Firstly well played to Fev, well organized, motivated etc., all the things we're not!

Interesting comments from Phil Caplin and John Sharp on radio Leeds tonight on way home, about culture and ability to recruit and improve players after they join the club. I have struggled to think of one player we have improved in the last 2 years. This next few months are pivotal for the future of the once all conquering Bradford Bulls.

Eggsbloodyzactly

The sad thing is, the present incarnation of the club has made great strides in developing the progression of youngsters, shame we wasted so much cash on so many duds, whilst ignoring what we had a crying and obvious need for.

I think you can go back much farther than that. I hate to say it but even the potential of Jamie Langley petered out unfulfilled.

Agreed a fantastic resource for future players for Hudds, Cas, Hull et al, good way of managing their costs to get some mug to pay for youth development.

Will anyone get any satisfaction when England next play with 4 or 5 Bulls juniors in their starting pack!

To allow a quick ptb and stop niggling in the tackle? Only one team trying to slow down the game today......

then its totally useless because it was miles out!

Shocking isn't it....

Can we not go on about the Ref. We got nilled in a game where it is really hard to get nil.

Yep..typical of the unprofessional nature of RL.
