Well this week sees Oldham come to Odsal. With them having a mid-week game and picking up a few injuries, maybe, just maybe we can nick this one

Frankly if we cannot get a result in this match, we might as well forfeit our remaining matches. I'm planning to watch this one (1st game since Fax) so hoping they actually turn up and put a performance in.

I will be watching. Not holding out much hope

Expect I'll get there and get back.

Other than that, who knows?

Oldham played really well against us earlier this season. They played some great counter attacking rugby. I'm expecting a big challenge this afternoon. Hopefully we can get across the line and get back to zero.

Sorry, but if the Bulls can't beat Oldham today, this is (the latest) rock bottom. A lower end part time side that played 4 days ago in a close match should be beaten easily. Anything but a comfortable win should be considered a failure. A loss would be bloody awful.

With Oldham being part-time; and they played mid-week, they should tire early and the Bulls should run tries in easily, could actually be a home win and up to zero points.

However.......I would not put any money on that actually happening, because we're the Bulls so the result could be anything; including a draw, which would be better than a loss, but minus 1 point is not much good at this stage in the season

A loss today, and that's highly possible as teams have worked out how to beat us - means a near certain bottom two finish!

Perhaps ChaLo have been saving all their cash to give it out to the other Championship club owners in brown envelopes at tomorrows meeting to persuade them to expand the comp next year and let two teams up and close the trap door behind them!

I'd have much preferred them to spend it on players to keep things in our own hands though

The other chairmen don't need bribing. They just need to realise they will lose two local derbies and the money that the Bulls bring and add Toronto + a Cumbrian team.
Stay with 11 home league games and 4 of them with no away supporters.
No bribes needed just point that out to them - but they have probably already realise it.
Even Chalmers will welcome two extra home games @ maybe 5k supporters. What is that worth to the club not just in turnstile takings but parking and everything else - could it be worth £60K+ each game?

If it is a vote to go to 14 teams there can only be one result. I would also say the same if SL clubs vote next year.

The last two posts are illustrations of why I am not bothering this afternoon.

Why spend £20 on a game that quite likely isn't going to make any difference to which league we play in next year?

Good to be on zero points, but lets not read too much into todays win.
Our team of full-timers, with a weeks rest, were expected to beat a team of part-timers who played 2 games in 5 days.
But will service be resumed against Fax and KR?

What was the point of that cringeworthy 'zero points' announcement? We're still miles from being safe so it means absolutely feck all.

Even worse are the players on twitter celebrating it. Has nobody told them they're still miles off catching any other team? But yeah, zero points, that's something to shout about!

No pleasing some people. From no team to -12 to 0 points. I'm happy we still have a team.

Reinforcements coming according to T&A and with injuries returning. The lads will finally have some confidence.

We have 4 games left plus 7 games in the shield = 22 points. Still all to play for. COYB.
