Never liked Kevin Costner, or any other Robbing Hood!!!!: |

| This time last year, much was said about the spirit of the squad, and how they stuck together whilst the club was crumbling around them. the players justifiably took a lot of praise and credit for this.
So far this season, after a surprisingly promising start on the pitch, things appear to be taking a few turns for the worse. The Jane Lilley episode, whitehead, now potentially Lulia and Addy leaving too.
I get the distinct feeling that there is something bubbling under here. I actually know very little, but reading between the lines, some of the good will that the players stayed because of, seems to be wearing thin. Are promises being broken? Is the OK/Gerry regime able to dig the club out of the hole it was in? can Bradford sustain a top flight rugby league club without a major cash benefactor? All questions that need addressing, and that many people have looked at in recent months.
I have a friend who is a local business person, and when the club was saved, his comment was "we will be lucky to have a club in 2015 when the new SL licence starts."
I hope he is wrong.

| yeah, as said above, its pretty upsetting that we're letting him go, i can't really fault him during his time here, and going back to 09, one of my favorite recent wire memories, is him and moz charging us up the field to set up the win against KR in the challenge Cup, they effing smashed the crap out of them in one set of six.
You've got a good un.

| Even though Cummins wants to keep Evans, I've got the feeling that he'll be returning to Warrington and will make a go of it in their pack next year. He's definitely one to watch in coming years.

Don't do it, he's so bad!

| I quite like what I've seen of Evans, though whether prop will be his final position is hard to tell, and to be honest, of the two Wire loanees, if there were to come down to a choice I 'd go for Matty Blythe, especially with Lulia apparently leaving. I guess much depends on who else is in the pipeline and where FC thinks is the best place to spend what we have. Again though, that commodity which some, if we are to assume they aren't just being silly for the sake of it, apparently believe isn't important - money- will be very much in evidence behind most of these decisions.
I think yet again [for the million and first? time] it has to be stressed that OK, wealthy as he is by my standards, is certainly no Dr. Koucash and certainly can't make up for the loss of the TV money which we will forfeit yet again next year. That said, I think the extra being put into coaching and conditioning for next season is very welcome and maybe with a slightly more balanced squad, maybe an extra prop or two and a second row fewer we may be a little better equipped to make a go of it. Carvell is a very good start imo.
