Travis had another stormer & glimpses of confidence returning for Eden? Interesting to see Welham put on the right. We were pretty ordinary, shocked at just how poor Bulls have become.

Difficult to make anything of that game as bradford were so poor. More like a training game for rovers. Don't remember another SL team struggle to make yards with their props like bradford did tonight

You never saw them in the reverse fixture. They never looked like scoring then.

They lack in pretty much every area. With hindsight they would probably have been better taking the hit when they first went bust and dropping down a division and they would probably be much stronger for 2015 then. I think noble will take over and improve them this season as they can't get much worse

They might have been better doing as you say, but us rovers fans know how hard it can be to get back up there, once you go down, it took us about 15 years, so I can understand them hanging on for dear life.

I can't argue with that, but while they've been hanging on there's been a steady decline in their attendances. Perhaps had they taken the hit immediately they might have retained some of those supporters who left, rather than people just losing interest.

Time will tell, let's see how quick they get back up, if at all.

That was under the old system though. Next season offers a real opportunity for championship teams to get into SL IMO

No it doesn't. It will be harder than ever. IMO.

Harder than ever? I don't think it will. I think there is a real chance 1 or 2 of the SL sides that drop into that middle group might find themselves on the outside the next season

I struggle to see how anything can be harder than not allowed in regardless of today's system.

I meant harder than ever compared to the previous method of promotion.
