Important clarification there!

I thought Wigan were poor today, which I know says a lot about us but it was very frustrating not to get a result against them.

The 50/50 decisions that could have gone either way seemed to go in their favour again. Also it didn't help that we had 5 tries chalked off -at least 2 looked legitimate- and that Wigan scored 2 of theirs from forward passes.

When's our next apology letter coming Mr. Cummings?

I thought the effort levels were up from last week and our defence was improved for most of the game. Our attack was so toothless though and lacked creativity. Was Jeffries really dropped or is he injured? If he has been dropped instead of Deacon then that really is a joke decision from McNamara.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, if we go into next year with Deacon at 7 we will be out of the play offs again.

We blew another game today by stupid RL and once again it came from the players who should be leading by example. Newton's wild pass to Cook while we were leading was idiotic. All we needed to do was kick for the in goal and get a repeat set and apply some pressure. It isn't rocket science but our pivotal players make such hard work of it.

On a positive note I thought both young uns showed up well and made some super contributions. Donaldson in particular looked a class act and I look forward to seeing some more from him this year in preparation for next season.

Well the play offs are well and truly out of the question now, let's hope we're making the right decisions for recruitment and retention for next year. Oh and Morrison said he should be in contention for selection next week..

That's brilliant news. I doubt he'll be one hundred percent, and because it's Celtic (not saying it's going to be easy) he may be left out. Donno and Whitehead shouldn't be dropped and it shuld be Worrincy who has to make way if he's back.

We are still waiting for the first one.

I thought Worrincey probably had his worse game in a Bulls shirt today but I think he's had a pretty good season. I still feel that off the bench he provides more than Cook would. But I'd prefer someone like Morro on from the start.

Him, and Silverwood.

Your not wrong and in years gone by we would have got a right hiding from you gifting so much possesion from knock on's in our own half and stupid penalties. Even though our defence was pretty resolute I still think a better team would have got through it a couple more times.

Coming to Odsal is not what it used to be, these days as an away fan you actually believe you will win.

We are poor, but its very mediocre league. I'm reasonably confident we'll make the play-offs even though with with the exception of O'Loughlin - who has been outstanding this season - not one of our players could have got in the starting line-up of the Wigan side 10 years ago.

season is over we should sack all the players except a couple but definately all coaches should be sacked and board should be sacked too

Anyone got any disinfectant?

no need until we got rid of em all from dressing rooms

Wow, yet more misery piled on for the bulls.

jeffries was not dropped. he is injured.

Won't make a long post as Adey beat me to it, and what he said.

This game, at least, no-one can put down to either bad coaching or lack of effort. The pack especially pretty much monstered Wigan all day, even Pala'esina was kept reasonably in check though he did a bit of damage.

We kept Wigan under sustained, controlled pressure for long spells and our defence was by and large excellent - certainly far better than of late.

We crossed the line only to be chalked off four or five times. At an absolute minimum two looked stone cold tries to me.

In picking Newton, McNamara could hardly have predicted what a 'mare he was going to have. A one man destruction show by Tez today, and THE key idiot pass, when we were in front with 8 minutes to go and looking incontrol, was a killer. And as has been commented we got thw rong end of some highly spurious calls in that last few minutes, to add to all the disallowed 'tries', but there yoou go, such is life. Another day they'll all go our way.

Disappointing, but we were not "poor" as some have tried to say, it was a much more encouraging all-round effort and display.

yes effort ok but still not good enough against a poor wigan side we need a big change next season or disaster for our club

i dont want us to become small club in super league like

What with, and how do you know?

In today's RLLE, Jeffries says he'll be out a couple of games with this unspecified injury, and also says as matters stand he won't be at Bradford next year.

Please tell me we don't have to go through another season with Deacon as first choice....

He loves him anyway, so he's probably ecstatic at the thought of it.

OK Punisher you insignificant feckless worm, into my Mondo Pita bin you go. You aren't even worth the keypresses any more. It was mildly amusing destroying your persona last time, but it's so yesterday.



You lot can talk to the if you want, (or his current second [ialter ego[/i for that matter) it's a free country after all, but it's not for me.

Say what? First you call me Tigs or somebody and now I'm some other person.

...and we'll end it there.
