People seem to be waking up to the fact that it will be really hard for us to get promoted, no matter whats gone on before (Challenge Cup QF, not lost a home game in 2 years etc...)'"
Its like all sports,how you perform on the day is what counts. Why people keep doubting instead of supporting is beyond me..Very easy to turn around and say we won't win,but if we do win you'll be the first to let us all know,won't you.

| Quote ="old tony"We're Wakefield really that good today .. I personally think Bradford were really shocking.'"
Bradford got dominated around the ruck in both defence and attack. Wakey ran riot playing down the middle off a quick PTB. The middle defence from Bradford was shocking and Wakey targeted their left side HB/Centre partnership of Gaskell/Siejka and Purtell and ran through that gap all day. When Lee Smith keeps strolling through without a hand laid on him then you know you have problems!!
But also Wakey looked much improved from mid season and for the 1st 30 mins showed a similar style of great game management and high completion rugby to what HKR did to us in the 2nd half last weekend.
They will take heart from that performance and will certainly fancy their chances against us next week!

| Quote ="cocker"As a Wakey fan it's the change of coach thats made a huge difference. James Webster was totally out of his depth this year and unfortunately we hung onto him too long. At Websters request thank god B. Smith got in touch and we are starting to play as we should. The change on players would have meant nothing without Smith being hereā¦he is now getting the players to perform like they should have been doing. It's going to be a very interesting and hard going few weeks but at least we are starting to be competitive. See you all next week .'"
Rubbish.As a fan can you seriously suggest to us that Webster had money to play with? Yet it suddenly appears with a 3 year out of league coach arrival who's taking mentoring from his brother makes it all sweet and new signings appear.
If James Webster had been given the provisions Smith has been given,I doubt you would be any different.

| Up to now early results have been in favour of the SL clubs. It's up to Leigh to upset that applecart tomorrow.
I believe we can win at Salford, but if we don't, then Wakefield will seriously fancy their chances next week.
In short, tomorrow's match just got even bigger.
Can't wait.
COYL!!!!!!!!!!!

| Atomicā¦..the players James Webster had should not have been performing like they did . in a few case you have to say the players that have come in do not have as good a pedigree that have left. Collis Paea,McShane replaced by Tansey Walker Moore for example . The fact remains if a coach can't coach it doesn't matter whose name is on the team sheet.

It's gone now, all water under the bridge and all that, but fwiw Webster was given all the money that was available for team recruitment and spent it on the players he wanted, there was no money available for Smith for recruitment and every player he brought in to the club was a replacement for one that left, it's all well documented as you probably know already 1/10.

I think there was a causal relationship there but Wakey were much better than I expected. Not seen much of them on TV this year so made some assumptions regarding results and match reports. The power and pace of their forwards was our undoing and we had no real answer. Tim Smith was able to do what he wanted. I doubt Gaskell could have made any difference. If Wakey were the soft touch then I dread the other 3 SL sides.

So your saying you got more money for the ones that left,then the ones you brought in..Doesn't sound right to me given the names you have brought in.

Just seen Jimmy Lowes latest post match interview on Bulls TV.
www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/bulls-tv
Unbelievable stuff. Can't believe how hostile, abrupt and generally rude he was to what I presume were local journos asking fairly basic questions for their own official Bulls website. He seems to be the same after every defeat and I can't imagine that abrasive attitude helps when dealing with his players.
Glad we have Rowley in charge. At least he is cool, polite and level headed no matter how good or poor the performance. Lowes comes across as a spoiled, angry child whenever his team puts in a poor peformance.

He spoke in the banqueting suite post game and was disappointed but upbeat and gave a reasonable assessment of the game and our failings. Didn't see anything on LCTV though this week no.
He was "happy" to speak after the defeats to London and Wire though and again was professional and gave a polite and well considered interview without getting surly or rude. I can't remember any occasion when PR has been abrasive as JL seems to be after a poor result.

I noticed that, but presumed he was doing an interview for Sky, at the time Dave Parky 'nobbles' him, immediately post-match.

I'm not a big fan of Lowes media style either but to be fair he is like that whether we've lost or won the game.

| I thought that when the Bulls finally woke up, much too late, Wakey looked ordinary and made lots of mistakes. They pulled away at the end because Bradford had all but surrendered. We have a fair chance next week but lets get through today first.

The man comes across as a petulant bully. The way he stares at anyone who asks him a question to intimidate them is ridiculous.
There have been plenty of comments from opposition fans on social media about Rowley being arrogant this season, but he puts Lowes to shame both as a coach and an interviewee.
The fact that Lowes has got the assistants job for England tells me all I need to know about the idiots at the RFL

Yes that's right, the 48 points were all down to the Bulls not being quite awake and us being ordinary... Look forward to another display of 'ordinariness' next weekend. Good luck today, I hear Salford are fairly ordinary too...

| Quote ="Nozzy"Who said we are going to go unbeaten? I doubt you can find more than 1 or 2 of even the most one eyed Leigh fans who have said (not in jest) that we would go unbeaten. Maybe some have said we are capable of winning every game, this is not the same as saying we will go unbeaten.
Everyone knows it is a tough challenge and that it will take a huge effort to get promoted.
I remain convinced Mookachaka that you are not and never have been a Leigh fan. You thrive on negativity and post 9 negatives for every positive. You are always 1st in to stir the pot and the last to praise.
I await your smug criticisms tomorrow should we lose

We would like to thank Wakefield for exposing the short comings of this middle eights... To not play to win for the Season 23 games and then change your team for the middle eights..Spectators will not pay to see this type of format when they know the odds are stacked in favour of SL Clubs.

That old chestnut, you weren't saying that up until yesterday afternoon, mind you up until yesterday afternoon you thought you were the second best club in the championship, on yesterdays showing Halifax are better than you.
