We've been told at Bradford that our junior development is the key and we will benefit from this. That's half the reason why so many were happy to keep mcnarama cause we were told he has put emphasis on the junior development and we would see the rewards. Though looking at the results it was a load of Bull.

Junior development though is pretty hard to do when the first team is $hit. It's easy to blood in youngsters to a winning team. The question is would those youngsters stand out as much in a losing side.

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: Fishsta "
Back to Bradford fans, and I don't think you should be too downhearted. Think where Wigan were a few seasons ago and where we are now... Bradford need to emulate that.

'"


Yes, all we have to do is poach the coach of the World Champion club side, find a world record fee to take their best player from them. Then get the RFL to kibosh Dobsons move to another side yet overlook it when we come calling.

Then we can cheat our way out of trouble then try and take the moral high-ground whilst our shameful fans sit all smug and arrogant whilst completely blinkered to the whole issue.

That is how we will emulate Wigan.

Tell me though, how do we get all the money to do this when we are skint?

Whilst we are at it, maybe a good idea to send a few players down the yellow brick road with the tin man to see if they can get a heart.

I've been saying this since 2006 but the club know better. If you bring decent youngsters into a side with a losing mentality they'll pick up bad habits and never realise their potential.

That losing mentality is now fully ingrained now.

Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart.:7493.jpg



look there is no religation for a few years there is time to find a coach who can build a team that can compete its not all doom and gloom. if all faith has gone in your current coach then look at who else is available and compare to what you have is kear any better what about noble or karl harrison whoever you replace your coach with it will take quite some time to get things right.

Despite the many inaccuracies in your post, you have a point if you're skint.

Yeah, I thought that if the ref had been fair, Bradford would have breezed it.

OK.

Quote: debaser "Yes, all we have to do is poach the coach of the World Champion club side,'"


APPROACHED, not poached. He came of his own free will.

Quote: debaser " find a world record fee to take their best player from them.'"


Funny, I don't remember signing Shontayne Hape, Lesley Vainikolo or Paul Deacon from you in 2005.

Quote: debaser "Then get the RFL to kibosh Dobsons move to another side yet overlook it when we come calling.'"


Isn't this libel? Dobson needed a work permit, we got one having signed him.

Quote: debaser "Then we can cheat our way out of trouble then try and take the moral high-ground whilst our shameful fans sit all smug and arrogant whilst completely blinkered to the whole issue.'"


Where shall I start with this one... we didn't spend over the cap, we were accused of a technical breach after we re-negotiated contracts with players who weren't performing to the standard required... something suggested on these boards by fans of many clubs, including your own. Despite not spending over the cap, we were fined and docked anyway, and still not allowed to spend the money we had supposedly been over the cap with. Meanwhile, Bradford cheated their way to a Grand Final victory in the same year by ACTUALLY spending over the cap.

With the same number of breaches of the salary cap as Wigan (if you include the above "technical" breach), Bradford are in no position to say we're cheats any more than they are. However, we can look on the bright side, no-one has broken the cap more times than St Helens.

Quote: debaser "That is how we will emulate Wigan.'"


Well, you could look to produce some new young talent instead, which is what I was ACTUALLY suggesting. It worked for Leeds, too. Unfortunately there's been a habit at Bradford of producing talent (e.g. Rearden) and then letting them go in favour of aging New Zealanders.

Quote: debaser "Tell me though, how do we get all the money to do this when we are skint?'"


Have you pledged?

Quote: debaser "He can't. He is clueless.'"


LOL. That's a good one. Still the abusive liar, then.
