It's quite difficult to look past Ah Van....he looks like he hates playing rugby....... although Ben Cross has a great shout as well.

Ben cross everyday this week.

Maybe Perry too

Two great signings for Wiiiiiiiiiiidnes

Got to be Herbert surely? Worst half back ive seen for a while. Closely followed by Perry and Cross

Herbert for me also..

Surely Mason has to be in this discussion lol!

Cross











































Ah Van
Mason

Totally forgot about him.. Atleast he got you some press coverage and actually made some impact in the few games he played unlike those mentioned above

Perry has been decent when he's played to be fair to him. He's just a complete and utter biscuit.

We have to weigh it up. How do we measure it? I have done it on expectations.

Ben cross was assumed to be one of the best and has been absolute e. Same with perry (because has never been better than below average and is a biscuit) I ams sure there are people who have contributed as little but those two are real let downs!

Herbert has been plop.

Bradford hold all the aces in this game, joke of a backline with Rosyton, Sykes, Platt, Ah Van, Herbert & Jeffries all dog dirt. Only Raynor deserves any credit.

Ian Sibbitt is hardly a masterstroke neither.

And Royston, Sykes, Platt and Ah Van all gone next year.

Sibbit is the classic example of how far Bradford have truly sunk.....Even when he was at his best, he was still only a very average player.....Bradford of 4 or 5 years ago wouldn't have touched Sibbit with a bargepole, now he is a regular.

Its very scary how far and quickly Bradford have declined as a club.

Joel Monaghan have you ever seen a winger that can't go the length of the field when he's in open space?

In fact have you ever seen a slower backline than ours?

Yes and Yes.

Where do we start, there are so many poor overseas imports.

I nominate Jamie Simpson from Huddersfield and Willie Isa at Castleford, i can't believe they get paid to play Rugby League.

Ooops. i forgot Jarrod Hickey at Wakefield.

An absolute disgrace for a professional sportsman.

I was going to name jamie simpson by name in my last post.

What did we expect from him? A reserve rabbitoh who wasn't at all in favour ovewr there. He is young and has skill but I didn't expect him to be better than a foster or a charnley. I held him in a similiae light to most of huddersfields youngsters, a previous youth teams rejects.

It is a completely different story with ben cross!

Every word.
I predicted this at the end of January, whilst loads on here were saying that Bradford would challenge. They've just picked up everyone elses cast-offs, like we used to do, a decade or so ago. Bradford are now a basket case...OFFICIAL.

Back on thread....Cross....by a distance

Said that to my mate last night, a truly awful rugby league player.

Thats the funny thing with Bradford over the last few years. Every off season people have been predicting that this would be the year they were going to be back to challenge, because of who they had signed, the year before it was because they had Orford and before that it was because they had Menzies and people were saying they had the best pack in Super League (that was when they still had Burgess and Solomona)

The other thing about the off season predictions I couldn't understand this last year was that after everyone has been predicting the 'decline of Saints' for about a decade, and it has never happened, this year everyone was raving about their pack with Perry and LMS etc in it saying they had the best pack in the league and so on.

when watching Herbert, it reminds me of a certain Matt "The Rocket" Rodwell, and we all know how good e was!!

I'm with you on this one too, Sally

The decline of Saints, don't make me laugh. They are still a huge force, with great players coming through.
Everyone takes the slash out of Meli and Gardner....they don't half know where the tryline is, don't they?

Stains looked a little underdone in the GF, last year, but they still made the final (and pipped us to 2nd place)
They've had to move to a temporary ground, and bar some early season wobbles, they've done very well, especially with their injury issues.

Right off/predict Stains' decline.......NOT ME, not 'til I see three or four disappointing seasons, at least.

Ah Van is a good kicker and scores tries.
I've not seen a lot of him but what I have seen has shown me both the good and bad.

Early favourites for next season's worst import: Steve Southern and Keith Lulia.

Been some bad ones mentioned so far. Hickey and Herbert would have to be the pick of them IMO, along with most of the Crusaders team.
