Quote: Wicker Man "Usual comments from a new signing. You would hardly expect him to say that they will struggle to make the play-offs.'"


Beat me too it.

'Im signing for Bradford for the money, we are looking to squeeze into the play offs'

Quote: Bullseye "Of players aged 30 or above I can think only of the following in the Bulls squadPersonally I think top 4 is out of our reach. The Bulls could finish anywhere between 6th and 10th IMO depending on injuries, luck and whether the failings of last year have been addressed.

Last year the side showed they were capable on their day of beating St Helens, Leeds, Huddersfield and Warrington who losts of people think will set the pace in 2010. The trick is for us to manage a level of consistency and avoid the more dreadful performances we put in'"


I agree. You've made some very handy signings. You were a long way off the top teams last term though on a consistant basis and when it counted but i think you are shoe in's for top 6. On a seperate note sadly for the English game they are all overseas signings but same can be said of most teams on that note.

Back end of the season we were playing at a level that - on a consistent basis - should have given us a decent shout at the top 4. Trouble was, for much of the rest of the season we were playing at a level that deserved bottom 2 icon_sad.gif

I have a suspicion Stuart Reardon will prove to be a far most astute signing than most are allowing, tbh.

I also suspect that the deals for the two younger Burgii may prove to be the most astute of all.

And I am quite optimistic about a top-6 finish - we may even make the 4 IMO if we hit the ground running, the three-quarters play out of their skins and we have a bit more luck than last year with injuries. Although I'd feel a bit more confident if we had signed one more - and quality - three-quarters, since (as every man and his dog has observed) we hardly look world-class in that department...

Feel free to write that down someplace - at least we'll be clear what I have to eat humble pie over, if it transpires my optimism proves to be bollox!

Quote: Adeybull "snip'"

If your first 17 stays injury free Bradford should end up around 4th or 5th in my opinion, the problem will come if you get a long term injury to anyone since you seem very light in terms of squad depth.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg

I agree, FWIW.

The Bulls had a dreadful start to the season but were probably the form team over the last month or so of the regular rounds. If we see those Bulls (and the Bulls who beat us and Saints) rather than the Bulls that played for threequarters of the season then why not?

Bulls have a very handy pack and an average backline. Orford will imrpove their back line.

Mmmm agree with you there. You make some good points. Secretly i hope the Bulls do make a bit of a return to form (although not too much icon_wink.gif ) Superleauge has been a bit poorer for it tbh. Although you've had plenty of success and i think your crowds should have been better, the club deserves it imo.
