Written off, yes, in terms of the fact that I don't expect us to win anything or realistically even qualify for the play-offs. But certainly not written off in the sense that there are still plenty of games to go and there may still be plenty to cheer. The off-season lasts a long time and I'm happy that there are still matches to watch. I'm certainly not wishing it was all over. I've no doubt we'll see a few more painful defeats but I'm looking forward to the wins which will no doubt come along as well.

Exactly. As for those of you that have written the year off, again - why not lump on at 1/3 that Bulls will miss the play-offs?

I did £50 big ones.

Yes i think our season is over they needs to be big changes to both coaching staff and players for next season

Fair play to you. What would you rather have come September then, £66.67 or Bulls in the play-offs?

Do you reckon it was worth it for £16?

If we'd beaten Castleford I was confident we would have then won most of the games left. Now I think we'll struggle to win half of them. The Team has no confidence in itself, I have no confidence in the Coach and think well do well to finish above 10th. On the back of this I expect to be told how the new in coming players have strengthened the 2010 Squad and we have promising youngsters who will eventually come through (all of them Props and Second Rowers) Carry on where we left off in 2009.......

Because it would be just my luck with the Bulls this season that they would then storm into the playoffs on a 9 match unbeaten run..... hang on

maybe I should just take some financial punishment for the greater good?

It will go well with the £50 big ones I put on us to be there for a week.

Giving Sykes another 2 years has written off the next two seasons. Roll on 2012.

He's only signed a 1 year deal though.
