I'm surprised Cummings still has a job irrespective of the farcical ownership issues.

If you live in a country where you can get arrested for fishing without a licence, yet you can't get arrested for entering that country illegally, then you know that the country you live in is run by idiots! "The last time Cas got a penalty against Wigan, Gail from Corrie was still on her first husband" - Mick Morgan:



I never thought I would see the day when Bradford would put out a performance as bad as that. I think the players should at least be playing for pride and showing some fight. As for Cummins, the only way he would make a good coach is to have his teeth removed and have some seats put in. Absolutely clueless!

You maybe never know what you're going to get with the Bulls, but the range of chocolates is very predictable and restricted.

I didn't think the pack did all that badly overall, but the box had far too many of our strawberry creams - that is, the soft belly of gaping defence holes, even early on when "fresh", coupled with the wafer thin mint tackles that a glass gnat wouldn't have trouble breaking through. Professional players should not consistently be embarrassed repeatedly like that.

Most of our attack chocolates were predictable and boring fudges. Even when we worked a good spell - was it six sets? - on their line, which was good, we never once looked remotely like we might capitalise and score.

And we inevitably threw in the now endemic procession of schoolboy howlers, like leaving a routine high kick to bounce.

It didn't help my mood to be reminded that but for Harrisgate, Leon would have been tormenting Cats and not vice versa, and but for recent meltdowns, Whitehead would have been in our pack not theirs. However, they would still have needed a squad who were prepared to break their backs for the cause for 80 minutes, and not stand around leaving it to others.

Shameful effort.

Missed the last two games Hudds. Catalan due to Holidays, wow aint I the lucky one? Except I have them both on video! My question is, should I watch them, or stick lighted matchsticks under my fingernails? Sounds like finger nails is the less painful option!

I've seen the odd single chocolate analogy, but never a box before. Very enjoyable, almost as good as my Betty's Yorkshire curd tart. And much better than car analogies which people tend to favour. I hate car analogies.

Foster, Henry, Gale (where was he!) can all go for me, choose which ever division we are in. Can we not get Nobby in, if only on a consultancy basis, to show us how to tackle and defend. Its the only way of saving us. If it puts some peoples noses out of joint - tough.

The hardest thing to take is thought that Wakey must be p*****g themselves laughing at us.(and the rest of league for that matter, embarrassing doesn't cover it) As somebody said on Sky, if Wakey take a lead a lead, we are sunk. I seriously question whether we have the bottle for it. I fear next Sunday is going to test our nerves badly.

Rant over.

Beechwood Bull, if anything next sunday is going to test Wakey's nerves as we have a habit of cocking things up and kickstarting a team's season, especially under Agar.

I pray you are right. We need divine intervention for wherever it comes. Last chance saloon for us, particularly if we get little or no points back. Thanks for the comments though, you offer some hope!!

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



TBH, points deduction or not, we would still be where we are in the league, and deservedly so too. We offer nothing to SL at the moment and the only thing that we are doing is giving a lot of people a damn good laugh at our demise.

Something is clearly not right. That can't be the best that those players are capable of surely?

Cummins should NOT be sacked, however. He should do the honourable thing and resign. Walk away from it, admitting he is not up to the task. If we sack him, then we need to pay him off and that money would be better off spent elsewhere.

Let's hope he has the decency to do the right thing.

Everywhere We Go:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68562.jpg



Our runners in attack are too static. They don't run hard enough and don't draw defenders, leaving us with no overlap in those situations. We also have no direction when going forward. Without Diskin, it falls on Gale to control the attack, and he's not up to it. We've scored 20 points in the last 3 games.

As for the defence, I can't remember a season where we've shipped so many points. 150 points conceded in the last 3 games is just appalling. We don't run up to the offensive line and teams make 10 metres every play the ball with minimal effort. And then, when the opposition get bored, a simple offload is all it takes to put their full back through. Support runners aren't required, as Gaskell is stupidly easy to step past. Oldfield, Broughton and Escsare have all skinned him with a simple step.

Agent cummins would never resign. He played in a leeds team tormented by the bulls for years.

He'll be hanging on to the bitter end. icon_mrgreen.gif
