Difference is, in the past, we've been a good side.

I would think there will be less than 10 points in it either way. Really don't know who will win this one.

Now that McNamara has been sacked, I really hope the players use this as a positive mental push for Sunday and really kick on now knowing that the new coach will be watching them.

Not been sacked. Mutual consent!

Folks remember...libel and all that? its "Mutual Consent" - to say otherwise could be libelous, no matter what folk may feel "Mutual Consent" is a euphemism for...

We've got to win this one !!?

After the disrupted week the club will now have, I'd say it's all but inevitable that we won't. I think we can forget about the playoffs now.

Not good news for us, I'm fearing the worst for this one

Anyway cya all there

The referee is Ian Smith (Oldham)

This season under Ian Smith Played 3 Won 1 Lost 2

Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 10-29 Bradford Bulls
Bradford Bulls 28-40 Warrington Wolves
Bradford Bulls 22-28 Hull FC

Ian Smith has been pretty good this year from what I've seen.

That's the spirit.

Best referee in Super League IMHO.

Let's the players play the game, rather then blowing up every minute.

It never matters who is referee.

See how the players react now Macca has left.

I expect there to be alot more passion & pride from them.

Unfortunately i'll be on holiday, but I just hope we can get the two points to give us a chance of making the play-offs.

hhhmm we've had him 4 times in the past 2 years and have managed one win.
St Helens 58 Salford 34
Salford 30 Huddersfield 18
Wakefield 29 Salford 10
Wigan 34 Salford 18

But to be fair to him, he's far from the worst we've had in that period!

well it's the chance for lee and the players to distance themselves from the poor results. I would imagine it will be a positive performance from a team very different in line up. To play the same would be suicide for Lee, change it around and have a gamble!
can't wait for the game!

COYB!

As long as its not Silverplank the worst biased referee.

My mate at work wont be happy he was hoping it would be Ganson so he could get some free tickets.

Any way with the news today of Mr Macnamara,s departure i will resume going to the home games again starting with this sunday.

How does free tickets and Gansonn work out?

The point in bold is what a lot of people have been saying and I for one think it'll help boost the gate on Sunday now that the doom mongers and those that have stayed away from Odsal for so long have got their wish in McNamara not being helm, they'll turn up and start coming to the games.

Has this been the case with you Mr Bulls Fan?

When did you stop going and why start coming back now McNamara has gone?

With a new coach we need to win this just to put a bit of heart back into the side

Really excited about this game and seeing what Lee can bring to the table not he isnt chained to Maccas wrist.

I think we can put a real exciting team out this week and I hope he chooses to and I hope they play with some excitement and urgency too.

For mine.

COME ON YOU BULLS

Mick the guy is good friends with his dad and can get free tickets to games if he wants them to see any game.
He only gets them if he refs the Bulls and Saints (he,s from St Helens) how true it is i have no idea not that i care much any way.

And to answer your other questions i stopped going to games after the Huddersfield game last year,it was because of McNamara.
And not only will i be going on Sunday but i,ll be going to all the remaining home games of this season plus i,ll be buying a season ticket next season.
As for why start going now Mcnamara,s gone i hated seeing professional players disshearted due to his poor coaching and tactics.

Great news and I hope you bring others along with you to watch the mighty Bulls.

Funny that you mention Ganson and that Huddersfield game last year (the game where he missed the Huddersfield forward pass and knock on which led to a Huddersfield try, we lost 12-16). He hasn't been seen at Odsal since, which is coming close to the same run Cummings had between the Bradley sending off in the 48-24 play-off loss at St Helens in 1998 and his Odsal return in late Summer 2000, when he gave that shocking Andy Hay try in the corner as we went down 24-26 in front over 22,000.

On Monday could not see our next win, now it's friday and I cannot see us losing on Sunday ~ Bulls by 18+
