| The result was about what I expected in all honesty, although I hoped we might find some steel to keep the gap to about 20. You only had to glance at the team sheet to see the difference in class. Proven International and State of Origin players in the Wire side, compared to ours which included some that aren't even proven SL quality.
Potter has a heck of a job turning this side around, I doubt he will manage it during his contract in all honesty. I think the best we can hope is he manages to get us back into the top 8 in 2012. The squad will need another overhaul at the end of the year and the players brought in need to be proven quality.
I thought that Potter had signed a decent bunch of players that he could mould into a solid but unspectacular side. I hoped he would improve our defence and we'd see some much better RL this year. So far he has failed to produce this, I hope for the clubs sake he manages to bring the best out of this side pretty soon.

| Where was the passion and pride we showed against Leeds? It's no good getting ourselves up for 2 or 3 games every season, we need that spirit and dedication every single week. We have absolutely no leadership and are clueless in attack.
Torn apart by a far superior team who didn't even have to work hard to put 50+ points on us. Briggs & Southernwood to step in would be a suggestion but with a pack that is shot to pieces would they be able to create anything without the platform?
Far too many players that are simply not good enough. Look at the dedication Wakefield are getting from their players considering they don't have a pot to p!ss in. Why can't we show that determination and work together as a unit and have pride in the club we are representing?
The cherry on the cake would be for us to get knocked out of the cup away at Halifax next week. Surely not?

| Herbert's short passing is good when it comes off, but most of the time there hospital passes and our players get crunched, he panic's with the ball in hand, he doesnt give the ball when he needs to and to be honest i'd rather give Koppy the kicking duties. I think it was 32-0 at one point and Herbert put a little grubber into the corner, with no players chasing the ball down the wing, why doesnt he ever put bombs up in the air, anything can happen, at least Sykes tried a couple, they might of gone backwards but he tried. I can't belive some people stick up for Herbert.

| As I said elsewhere it's what I expected unfortunately. It seems there's a malaise amongst the Bulls camp that's been hanging around for the past 3 years and even a change in coach, 11 new players and a new training camp hasn't helped results. Sounds like a deeper problem. It's obvious some players are just going through the motions, today was like Salford and Hudders away. No direction, no go forward and the side looked like they'd rather be anywhere than on the field playing for the Bulls.
It's a good job we had a the £60 ticket deal or a lot more would be voting with their feet this year, and more performances like that they still will.

| Quote AaronBull="AaronBull"First things first, I'm never one to blame particular players for a general performance, to a man we were embarassing, shameful, there are not enough superlatives to describe todays fiasco. Warrington must have scored 5 or 6 tries where at the start of the play we had possession. The lack of cutting edge with kicks being charged down was quite frankly laughable.
Ainscough, Elima and Sykes all apparently injured. The most notable of those three is Sykes. I never, ever, want to see him play stand-off for the Bradford Bulls ever again. He was made to look useless today (whether he is or not is up for debate) by Warrington's halves, and Potter HAS to swallow his pride next week.
We have a winnable game next week in the cup against Halifax. Now is the time to play Briggs, and now is also the time to play Southernwood. Redeverready has said it, and I trust him, there is no issue with Southernwood's size. It is the perfect time to blood them both after today, and Herbert could play 13, as has been mooted. He certainly does the defensive work to compliment the role. We cannot continue like this, playing Sykes in the halves. Like I say, I aren't just blaming him for today but he was terrible.
I'm also at a loss as to why Donaldson didn't play tbh, but Potter knows more than me on that front.'"
My one and only post on this fiasco because I am livid about todays performance and will only work myself up!
Wire scored EIGHT TRIES when we started the set in possession of the ball (four from kicks, four from dropped ball which they then ran in) - that's 32 points excluding if Hodgson converted, which he did most.
It says something when Bulls fans actually CHEERED sykes' injury in the vain hope he would after go off!
CAN IT GET ANY WORSE?

| Total shambles today. Totally embarrassing. Men against boys. Nah, men against toddlers. Who seemed incapable of learning from their (many) mistakes.
Change of coach and change of personnel looks to have achieved...precisely nothing.
Plus ça change

| Yep I was actually more worried about Wire scoring when we got to the end of our sets than when they got to the end of theirs.

| Eight tries off our possession must be some sort of record.

| I can understand teams putting in a couple of bad performances in a season, but its round 13 and we've been taken to the cleaners 4 times this year, absoultly hammered by, Wigan, Huddersfield, Salford and now Warrington, that is a complete joke.

| Culture of the club needs changing. When Noble left we were a tough, loyal hardworking team. Now we're a set of soft jokers, who don't want to put in the hardwork and simply dont give a toss about each other or the club.
Noble back.

| We are a mediocre side due to the mediocre signings Potter made, surely he should be saying get the cheque book back open because we need quality! The side we put out today would be a semi decent championship side at best, the gulf in class was evident today and we need not quantity but the quality players. None of this we are looking at blah blah, rubbish we get the signature it cant be that hard as seems like every bugger else has signed some class. I would actually agree that with Noble back he'd get a tough quality side, makes me laugh when i think that Bradford used to have the best on the line defence in the league!
