I can honestly say that I would rather see a side including Addy, Halley, Southernwood, Wardle, Crossley, Finigan, Kopczak, Whitehead, Donaldson play there heart out and feel the pride of putting on the famous red, amber and black then some of the current players.

I could not agree more. The big names seem to have given up! Let the youngsters have a go they will all play with pride and they want to impress, a bit of competition places will make everyone work harder. Lets face it what is the worsdt that can happen?

That is probably the most sensible post you have ever made.

Funny thing is that I've now had chance to get over yesterday and I'm, now looking forward to Salford.

Which really is a must win game.

Glad to see you've rediscovered your sense of perspective.

It's only a game.

Mate, if the board seriously took much notice of all the negativity, hopelessly misplaced optimism, and blue crayon jobs posted by some on here they would have topped themselves by now. Btw, the money has gone and is no longer coming in, that's part of the problem.

So THAT's it! Brilliant! Hood & Co are simply creaming off the untold millions that endlessly pour into the Odsal coffers, and as long as they can defraud the club and line their own pockets, they don't care!!

Superb. Dumbass Of The Year 2010 is yours, Sir!

And it will be more of a problem if the players don`t start pulling thier fingers out, less and less are not going to be putting there hands in there pockets week in week out to watch that rubbish.

Even Friday the amount of Bulls Fans was very low (ie friday game, travel etc maybe a small part of that) but quite a few did made the effort to go down. even after that game it took the players a lifetime to come and thank us.
I thought there attitude was disgusting, and the lot of them should be dropped in to the academy and let the young kids come in, at least some of them will have a go and give 110% more than the shower we have now. And Paul Sykes 3 years contract wants ripping up he`s absolute C***. Rant OVER.................

I thought the attendance from Bradford was pretty good for a Friday fixture in London, remember they normally play on Saturday. It's not everybody who can take the day (or even half) off to go swanning around to watch a rugby match, and if you haven't got a job you probably couldn't afford to go anyway, so it's a bit catch 22 to be honest.

I though the players looked a bit embarrassed after the game. You say it took them an age to come over, to be fair I don't think they really did come over, maybe ten or fifteen metres over the halfway line, maybe they were shocked that we stood and applauded after that display, or maybe they thought we were applauding just to trick them over and then were going to shout abuse or something!

The team looked totally dispirited to be honest, and much as we've all (rightly) complained about the lack of discipline and moaning at he ref, at the very least (yeah, I'm clutching at straws now!) it shows they cared. In any case, I don't want to knock too much because when a team is down that is when they need support and not people having a pop, not only that but I believe they really did put the effort in and that's crucial, it's like they ran in hard but believed they were going to lose the ball, which only made them lose it, if that makes sense. I think this lack of belief is McNamara's big job with the team right now, if he has the ability to turn it round and instil some confidence it needs to be used.

I'm surprised any supporters stopped to clap the players off in all honesty. It would appear our effort and enthusiasm levels were a fair bit lower than the Quins. I've never booed my side off the pitch but I've never understood those who still clap the side off after an appalling display.

And I've clapped the players off plenty of times in defeat but only when I feel they've put the effort in to warrant it.

For my money there [iwas[/i effort going in from the team. The problem appears to be confidence, or lack of it, not shortage effort, and as I said above they 'cared' almost too much, so much so, that they got far too involved with the referee and didn't concentrate on the game.

I applauded because I appreciated the effort and also to show my support for the team when they are struggling. Poor as they were, and I'm sure they know far better than me just how bad they were, it was a way of showing solidarity with the players. At the end of the day I want them to play better next week and I'm not sure that just turning our backs and walking away would do anything for their confidence.

Was there some energy in the performance though? Were they racing to form the scrum? Chasing after every kick to try and force an error? Did they put in some shuddering hits? Did we force some goal line drop outs? Did we force the Quins into touch with some tough tackling?

It didn't sound like it on the radio and it wasn't the impression I got from people I know who went. I don't really see whinging at the referee as a sign of effort to be honest.
