If Tuesday is their nandos night why not make it into an official bulls night out with all the lads going, if you win Hood gets the beers in , if you lose in the fashion we have done, Tuesday night is hills night (running up and down them, not that MTV sh*te). Just little things to get a team mentality. They need to be playing rugby with their mates for good group cohesion, otherwise it’s just going to work with your colleges.

Do they get performance related pay? Maybe if they felt it in their pocket everytime they lost, they would be a bit more d.

Jeez what a sad life u must lead to read donaldson's twitter!
His nando's outings are his private business which are completely separate to bulls. U can't stop an office worker going to the chippy with a few pals after work can u?! Same as him he is doing this outside of the club's time

From my very limited experience of playing rugby I know how demoralising it can be when you're playing in a poor side without playmakers. As a runner you can try things but you need a playmaker to direct you. If it's someone doing that job who isn't up to it then attacking moves don't work and all the hard work done to get in a good position goes down the pan. When that happens enough times it really gets you down and when it happens needlessly from a daft mistake it can make you angry at your teammates or just feel like wondering why you bother. The same applies in defence. When you're struggling the talk tends to stop and without communication defence doesn't work.

I think the Bulls are in this situation. It's obvious than whenever any pressure is applied the heads go down and the players seem to collectively accept defeat as it's happened so many times. That losing run last year seemed to do untold damage IMO. As a result we're seeing a team that's resigned to losing before it's even made an effort to win like on Sunday.

So yes, I do think there's a lack of effort but it's down to an utter lack of confidence that players have in themselves and their teammates. Potter recognises the need to build a winning culture but I think he now knows it won't be done overnight.

What's wrong with a bulls fan reading a bulls players twitter?

Players are in the public eye and they must respect what they write on social networks or forums. Unfortunately it has been proven that a fair few don't.

I'm not saying the nandos trip is wrong, but does it need to be aired, especially in the current situation.

Yes a bit of common sense is needed, not a blanket ban. Some of the players - Platt, Walker have been on and apologised in the past, which is a nice touch although I also don't want to see too many apologies - for obvious reasons
