Biggest issue for us is the top 2 is all but sorted now so some of those fixtures aren't as difficult as they might of been with one eye on the middle 8's. Realistically we probably have to win all our games to make the 4. I wouldn't back us to win more than 2 of them after today.

No we're not going to make it. We won't beat Leigh next week and then it's completely out of our hands and relying on Fax or Batley to mess up TWICE!!

That's why i'm so angry at those players today. This game was huge and they served up a bottle-less, gutless display. For a team to be accused of effort in a game of that magnitude, well i'm almost loss for words!!

Being in the championship shield is laughable. It's unmarketable for the club so we're not really going to get any match day revenue now until the new year!!! Then the absolutely pittance of central funding we'll get for next year. Those players could very well have killed this club off!!

Other clubs in this division would be delighted with a 5,270 attendance, especially at the inflated prices the Bulls charge!

Fax and Batley are certainly hoping for a Leigh win next week, but it's still not game over then. Fax still have Fev and London to play, assuming we do the business against Swinton (they beat us earlier in the season, albeit we're firing on more cylinders now).

Fev are pretty much out of it, unless they can somehow muster 4 wins on the trot (including their 3 rivals). London could have an influence on the final positions as well.

It's certainly not over yet.

Fev are out of it but will have a massive say on who finishes in the top 4. Batley should win all their games while I would expect Fax to win 3 out of those 4 but it can all change so quick. As daft as it seems I still think you might pip us to 4th place.

GFB, based on that, London aren't safe yet (if Batley and Fax beat them). It's all still to play for!

We at Leigh have to play Bradford and Fax at the LSV, so I don't think it's over yet,as folk say London has a hard run in, nowt is sorted yet ,maybe Leigh as league leaders.

The fact is that near the business end of the season, we were comfortably beaten by Halifax, and so we don't deserve to finish above Halifax. We had the golden opportunity of a home 4 pointer, and we all saw how comprehensively we blew it.

If I was on the Bulls coaching staff, i would spend the rest of the season doing nothing else but catching practice. Unless our players master the fiendishly tricky art of catching the fscking ball, next season will be a writeoff too.

I don't see us making the top 4 now. We have to win every game until the end of the season and hope that either Halifax or Batley drop points

Prepare now for Brexit...Bradford from full-time rugby.

Great opportunity for Batley to finish on at least 31 points

I think London could get dragged in to it yet, yeah. Again if they get safe then they have a big say in who makes the top 4.

The dreaded scenario is that we have to go to Fev on the last day of season requiring a win to scrape into the Top 4.

Unfortunately, that's a scenario that now looks increasingly likely

That would be an absolute humdinger of a battle - and if there's one thing we know that our guys don't fancy, its a battle...

TBF I would snap your hand off having to go to Fev, win and get into top 4

Well, yeah - starting from where we are it's a fair option!

I'm a Leyther and I hear what you are saying about your current form. Nevertheless, having seen the way you have always played against us, I still think Sunday is too close to call.

We'll give it a good go and narrowly lose to the better team. Then the players will be all over twitter saying "gutted about the result. Fans were brilliant as always" blah blah blah.

I found it hilarious some of the Bulls players moaning at England losing to a supe market yesterday. To which many Bulls fans responded that we lost to a bloody bank!!

I've no great expectations Alan - we have a number of injuries and too many new players and loanees still finding their feet - even if we were playing well, which we're not. And another new player to play his first game at the LSV seemingly. I hope we can give you a decent game but, much as I'll be there cheering, I can think of precious few reasons why we would come out on top.

Looking at the Highlights, that was a toilet paper defence and Fax wiped their metaphorical derriere with it. There is still an alarming lack of Leadership on the field and has been all season. Injuries at key times don't help and also with new players also coming in adds to the fragility when things go wrong!
Occasionally backs against the wall can sometimes inspire Players to stand up and be counted which unlike Wakey Or Cas the Bulls haven't had to do since SL started so I wouldn't count on that happening. Although I can see a Large Lady in the background practising the scales she isn't far from having a warble!

Here's hoping that lots of you come over. LSV really bounces with two passionate sets of supporters giving their all.

My tip for the Top 4 is as follows.
1. The Mighty Leigh.
2.London.
3.Batley Bullfrog.
4.Bradford Bull.

Always have faith.Charlie knows.

Unlucky Bradford, Charlie is not known for accurately predicting final standings outside of Leigh.

that's because it will be-

1.Leigh
2.London
3.Bradford
4.Batley

Crikey Charlie, you just upset all your Fax buddies

Hear what you say but this isn't a blip in form, we have been pants all year. Unfortunately (for you) we only seem to get up for Leigh.
