As anyone thought mick potter doesn't want the job but if he walks away would lose out on payments etc, i may get a ripping for this but a very close source suggested this to me last year with some of potters actions in terms of selection and to me he doesn't seem to care less. Win lose or draw his response is always the same, he should of come out and slammed the bulls for such an horrendous score line at home and apologised to the supporters.
Complete overhaul needed at the bulls, i'd sooner see young enthusiastic players wanting to put effort in , couldn't lose by much more. Our conditioning is a joke , firstly the 30 % fitter comment, yeah losing the 2nd half 34-6 and regardless of "some injuries unavoidable " i honestly believe the players are not conditioned correctly, every single year there are 4 or 5 major long term injuries, no other club suffers like we do, yes maybe 1 or 2 long term but ours year on year is ridiculous . The bulls need to be very very careful, without some form of a push for the playoffs (which i think is miles away) this pledge thing wont stand for another year, they would have to drop them to £50 and even then would struggle for more than 5k imo. The fact hood has stated we are full capacity on the cap shows 1 of 2 things, either 1- he is lying or 2- we are paying way over the odds for some players.

Red Amber and Black Fantasy Rugby League Champion 2012. By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013 Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know: Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017:Others/combustable.gif

Quote: daveyz999 "again, being realistic, its no surprise we lost to Wigan on the 3rd game of the season.

did you think we would win?

I expect the team to perform better against the big teams, but i'm prepared to let them get used to each other before branding the season a failure (after round 3).

Some fans expect us to sign class players and then finish top - lets not get carried away!

Look at the fixtures, our first 4 home games couldn't have been much harder. Let the players find some form, then we will see them competing with the top teams. Calling for potters head after round 3 just seems a little premature.'"



When have i said i expect us to finish top I said top 8. I then provided you with stats to suggest we have to beat the top sides.

I didn't expect us to beat Wigan. I do expect us to be competitive and not be humilated and concede 50 points again.

We have played two home games and haven't even looked like troubling the opposition.

I didn't think we looked too bad in the first half. We competed and only let them score as a result of a mistake or 2.

2nd half was one to forget though - I'm not going to condone that!

Looking at the next two home games I can't see us troubling them too much either, to be honest, well not in terms of looking as though we might win, though I definitely hope we will defend a bit better. Thing is, we're talking about last years top four being served up in our first four home games. It was always going to be hard and, bar a miracle a pointless four games. I do, of course, live in hope as always, but fully expect reality to bite me on the bum.

For sure, it's never good to concede 50, but Wigan will do that to stronger sides than us before the season is over and in all honesty I don't think it effects where we will finish come September. Losing to Wakey would have bigger consequences so let's hope we rebound on them like we did at Cas.

While wins versus the top 4 might be almost impossible I would like to see us compete a bit more. That would at least show we were making progress. The Wire game is a big one IMO because last year you could see from the players body langauge in the warm up that they were resigned to a hiding. The result was Wire didn't have to break sweat to hammer us as we gifted them tries all over the park. It was second only to Salford away as our worst performance last year.
