I understand what you are saying but I think the RFL are playing us for mugs.

The RFL do not what any owners who are going to try and keep the bulls in super league. MM was the only bidder who stated that we must stay in super league, all the other are spouting the crap about if we go down so be it.

The RFL's plan will be that we get an owner who is willing to plan for next year in the championship. The RFL will subsidise the rest of this season in super league so that the fixtures can be completed(millennium weekend) etc.

We play next season in the championship, the RFL hopes we qualify for the top four and finish high enough up so they can spout about what a great system P&R is.

The only issue is that we will come straight back down as all players contracts will be sorted in July and August, we will not have qualified for promotion until October so we are scrapping the bottom of the barrel for peoples cast offs.

Tomorrow takes on extra significance now. If administrator carries on selling players it may be last time we see us field a competitive SL team, probably ever.

With a 26 point start I've put a few quid on London for tomorrow.

Yeah I'm pretty glad I revised my fantasy team strategy of whichever kicker is facing London goes in my team. It was unsustainable anyway but I don't think it's going to count for much this week. They're getting stronger and we're, errr, not.

I was looking at that last night before I had a double last night that went down the toilet thanks to the Giants

Did you see the Bulls were 40-1 on to beat London off scratch,Wigan were only 12-1 on to beat our A team, I mean Wakefield

I'm looking forward to forgetting about the circus surrounding the club for 80 minutes tomorrow. I expect that whatever squad we put out will be fired up and ready to rip into the Broncos.

With Scruton gone I guess that changes our kin up tomorrow. Roberts played today so is presume Kear comes into the 17. So most likely him at 1,
Kearney to 6.

I think Cummins probably wanted Addy there but with our main prop gone we can't afford to be playing back-rowers at 6 and a 18 year old second rower on the bench who only played 24 hours ago.

1. Kear
2. George
3. Henry
4. Purtell
5. Foster
6. Kearney
7. Gale
8. Sidlow
9. Diskin
10. Nas
11. Bridge
12. Addy
13. Donno
14. O'Brien
15. Mullally
16. Walker
17. Olbison

Bad at 10?

Goddam predictive text

Well it's game day. Wakefield have still got 7 hours to sign some more of our players before kick off.

As Scruton has left is there any chance we could draft in Mellor to the squad in his place?

I'm interested to see how Anthony Mullally goes again this week. I thought he played very well against Wakefield. More of the same today I hope.

Needs to go in a bit lower with his tackles, but apart from that, yeah I agree

And here at the ground the crowd is being cheered by Another Brick in the Wall being played on the PA!

That's 200 grand in royalties.

Well, not the most impressive or entertaining game. Except for that point where the London player fell over with the try line begging. It was a complete gift and he just threw it away. Much laughter.

But another win. And there are currently 3 teams who've yet to win a game this season. I'm thinking that we're not currently nailed on as a relegation certainty just yet.

London obviously came with a plan to slow the game down as much as possible and with a weak referee they largely got away with it. Very scrappy and not pretty to watch, you can guarantee we won't see a slower game all year in SL. What we did see was a determined effort with plenty of character once again. I thought Mullally, Addy, Olbison and Donno were exceptional for us today.

A bit worried about BK, he just isn't at the races at the moment. I just hope it's a bit of rustiness and lack of pre season that's to blame for his slow start rather than a injury that he is carrying. Also I was pleased to see we still have a metal roof over the toilets on the popular side.

Well done to you Bulls today. A wins a win and that's another 2 points towards catching Wakefield. I still believe that you will be safe and Wakey will be going down with Larndon.

So do we, but we have tougher tests than today ahead before we can talk about avoiding relegation. The 6 points will be exceptionally tough to make up unless we see some dramatic strengthening of our squad. It was another 2 pts in the bag though and a game we simply had to win so in that respect very pleasing.

Safety is made easier the longer Wakefield and London fail to win games.

I appreciate that but taking the points when their on offer is what's required, so todays win was vital.

How the hell did Donaldson not get man of the match today?
He is an absolute workhorse in defence, he tackled everything that moved for the full 80 minutes and also set up Danny Addy's crucial try in the second half.

I would give BK a break next week, he doesn't look fit to me, maybe even carrying an injury. If George is ok, stick him and Foster on the wings and move Kear to FB. We were very lucky that Scott Moore fell over his own feet otherwise it would have been 12-12 at HT thanks to BK's monumental brain fart.

I suspect Kearney's regretting his decision to play in slippers.

Agreed he's really struggling at full back. He seems incapable of fielding a bobbling bl. He did same
at Wakey. Really needs some practice on the training field.

Ugly win a valuable win. After 60 mins I thought it was going to be dejavu and that London were going to snatch a victory.

Think Hudds could put 60 passed us though if Mulally can't play. But put Blythe & Feeguson in the squad and we look much stronger.

I think Donno and Addy would both have very strong cases for man of the match for the sheer about of effort they put in. It was also pleasing to see Olbison hitting some good lines, we just need to see it a little more consistently now!
