poop???...loving the auto editing

Even the referee has had enough today

training consists of the lads sorting out, Gales' gambling tips, Fosters' new car or latest hair product and Diskins' property management. once they've discussed all that, they then spend an hour moaning about the m62 while tweeting pictures of themselves stuck in traffic.
Then Franny says summat about defence, they all laugh then go home!!!
Job done!

agree and a special treat is franny or chev telling old rhinos storys about when bradford were Good

Our first contact in defence is terrible. The defensive line doesn't move up and teams walk all over us, get quick play-the-balls and make easy ground. This is followed by our defence not being set and teams can break the line too easily.

As for the attack, it's one dimensional, flat and predictable. I'm not sure if our attack is worse than our defence or the other way around.

Not sure we have seen any evidence they train together, maybe they do it all through twitter, or in a private room at costa.

Well we might scrape a win versus London but I can't see us winning another game this season playing like that.

Way to keep the crowds coming back lads.

Just listened to Cummins on radio, basically said same line up again Friday because he can't play anyone else. Erm Sam Bates, Alex Mellor, Nathan Conroy, Adam Brook?

Foster, arrundel, pitts, other lad who cam on loan from oz. He's an idiot.

I believe the word he used was 'pathetic'. Comparing some of our players to amateurs during that first 20 minute period. I assume Kearney and Ferguson will be rushed back to try and stem the bleeding.

Its sad from a neutral perspective to see what appears to be the white flag being waved by the players. You dont have a team as good as Salfords but at home and with the form they are in, I at least expected it to be close because it was a game you must have seen as genuinely winnable. Feel sorry for the fans it must be heartbreaking*.









*I retain the right to withdraw these sentiments should you beat us on Friday.

It wasn't at home.

If we're going to change coach noes the time to do it. Last realistic point at which we could potentially stay up but more importantly letting new guy recruit his own team for next year in championship. Green needs to act one way or the other. No point waiting another month or two then making a change.

All the players that plan on leaving after we're relegated must have phones that don't stop ringing because they're certainly showing those clubs what they're able to bring with these stand out performances week in week out. Oh, wait, no.

The body language of the players at the end of game was a real concern. Utterly dejected.

Ah, apologies.

That would imply they are bothered.

4 points shy of shipping yet another half century, in our must-win game of the season, against one of the poorest oppositions we will face. Tells you all you want to know about the attitude of some of this team.

Re Cummins - I won't repeat stuff about how he's earned plenty of credit etc but why is he even still here? His words:

.
Wel, quite. In the one game we should have been fired up to hell to eat Salford alive, at any cost
.
We were. and the thing is Franny it is our normal standard. Which you coach.

No, we weren't. We rarely even do the basics. You btw are responsible for making sure we at least do the basics.

You noticed? Franny - EVERY FSCKER goes through our middle untouched. And down our flanks untouched. This is why when we play they have to negotiate double time for the scoreboard operators and get the scoreboards serviced. Our untouched middle is the main reason we ship 50 or so every week. Btw you are responsible for the middle.

Yes, we did. We always do. You keep confirming. The question could be, WHY can you almost never get them all on the pace?

But on the bright side, they've ensured that that won't be a problem next year.

I am not getting at Cummins, I actually have come to quite respect the guy but after that performance in THAT match, if it was me I can guarantee I would have fallen on my sword. When you play so shiite that even the ref can't stand any more and leaves before the end, you should take a hint.


*Btw hope you're OK George

The players know the basics. There is not a coach anywhere in rugby league that would be able to do anything about the situation at Bradford Bulls. The players heads and hearts are gone, that's nothing to do with the coach.

To a point, i can understand that. However if players aren't playing for the jersey, then Cummins needs to show the nuts to drop them and play the academy lads. He needs to demand more from the players. Motivate them, get some fire in their bellies. Also playing players in right position might help us ever so slightly.

This thread highlights the absolute clueless nature of fans as to how sport works

Support your team, through thick and thin, or dont bother at all

Let's see if you maintain that attitude should your club go through the storm that Bradford have endured over the last few years

I'm sure Starbug could of endured a few of them yrs your talking about, super league has turned its back on clubs like Leigh to fester in the championship and now the like of them Fev, Fax, sheffield, Donny, Batley and Dewsbury are getting prepared for the onslaught, once these league join there will be a few crapping them selves as we will
