| Respect for the Bulls fans that went today; but after todays result the fans are going to be thinking why waste £15.
I cant blame anyone now for staying at home and listening to BCB instead of going to a game.
Someone needs to sort the bulls out and stop telling the fans to stay loyal - we've been loyal for years - you've let us down.
Cha-Lo, own up - whats really happening behind the scenes? Cos you are losing fans by the bucketload
RANT over

I can't see anyone believing we will be playing at all next year if that's the case. It'll be one last admin to clear what little we have left and then that's it....

Definitely die then.
Agree think this year is our last, don't envy the marketing team who need to sell the Fev game. But I fully expect us to show up ND have a narrow loss so everything seems hunky dory again.
Think I'd rather spend my £80-100 a week on something more productive than watching that dross.
Listened to Chalmers in convo with Mick and he mention the fans need to back the club, hadn't laughed so much for a while, each owner has said the same, fans need to be on board, fans need to spend the money with us blah blah and I'm fed up with it now, pay over-the-top for a sandwich well my mouth is full and I'm done.
I applaud all those who went today and was in second minds myself lucky I didn't bother.

| Season over. The bizarre recruitment of signing as many London players as possible came home to roost today. Total lack of heart. Dewsbury came with a plan. Run hard tackle hard and send a fourth man in with a swinging arm. They wanted it more which is hard to take. De ja vu from last year. Players get up for game as their on tele, then completely bottle it against Dewsbury. Only Peltier and Hallas showed any desire to win today.
Just a comment on the ref. Before i start he's not the reason we lost, we were crap end of. Someone mentioned it reminded him of the first game ar Leigh in 2015 and hes right. Not only did he have zero control over the game but player welfare was compromised today. Garteh Moore made a complete fool out of him. The shot on Keyes was dreadful and our half back was to be helped off and the linesman said he didn't see it but what really anmoyed me was he then has a huge smirk on his face while saying he didn't see anything while Keyes was unconscious on the ground. I just didn't see what he thought was funny about it or hiw he supposedly missed it. Thuggery tactics from Dewsbury (Oscar being smashed into the hoardings) ref sin bins 2 players but then gives a drop-out.

| Easily one of the worst performances I've seen given what was at stake.
I don't understand how a full time time loses so comfortably.
Clueless in attack and defence. So much dropped ball.
Don't want to pick anyone out, but was worried when announcer said Cameron smith was replaced by Vila.
League one and part Time rugby awaits. I'd bring in the latter now.

| i don't think I'll have the stomach for next year. We lost a raft of good talent with the Green farrago, we rebuilt to put together some good young lads with potential, but we have ed it all away through incompetence.
The thing is, it is inevitable that we will when we go down lose all our best young players. Again. And I for one can't face the thought.
There would of course have been a way - with money you can rip up the lower league same as Toronto have done - there is the stark, bleak difference between owners with money vision ambition and nous, and owners with seemingly no pot to pizs in, no finger on the pulse, and none of the above.
Sad days. We're down, and I'm pretty sure I saw a very fat lady arriving at Odsal as we drove past.

| Questionable coaching playing unfit players, Oledeski obviously not fit in warm up (couldn't have put his hand up as couldn't lift it that far!); lack of basics skills and direction (did we complete a set?). Players couldn't be bothered (exceptions Hallas and Peltier) so why should we? Correct, officiating was worse than dire but the team brought it on themselves.

| Just back having decided against my better judgement to go along - in the hope that last week was the start of the big fight back
What an utterly depressing afternoon. Outmuscled by a team that will probably get relegated along with us. No incisiveness, no game management, weak defence, lack of fight - it was barely an improvement over the London game to be honest.
The pack was beaten up all afternoon, giving the backs very little to work with. I was impressed with Peltier for his impact and go-forward and Hallas for his energy, but the rest were totally second best
Kirk - just a big lad who doesn't punch his weight
Magrin - no real impact
Oledzki - clearly not fit, a risk that didn't pay off
Davies - tried hard but made little headway
Halafihi - last minute replacement for Cameron Smith, totally out of his depth
Chapelhow - remind me why he is even at our club?
I think we can take it that we now as good as relegated. Totally beaten up by the next worst team, the team that will probably end up getting relegated along with us.

| I can't see us picking up many points from these fixtures:
Featherstone - Home
Rochdale - Away
Oldham - Home
Halifax - Away
Hull KR - Home
What's the betting we soon find out that Ethan Ryan and James Bentley have been snapped up by Super League clubs just to add insult to injury?

I know. Don't blame either of them. Look at Burgess, Bateman, Whitehead etc. All improved since leaving the club. Jacob Trueman also made his Super League debut for Cas today.

Anyone who really believes that Ryan and Bentley will be here next year is simply not facing reality. Probably Ross Oakes as well.

| We're not good enough to stay up without major investment and we all know that's not happening. We're going down. If the club manages to stay afloat, which I doubt it will now.
Today's performance was pretty awful. We seemed nervous from the off and although we led 12-6 at one stage it was never going to be enough. Losing so many players to injury didn't help. The late head shot to Keyes was absolutely disgraceful. How it was not even put on report is beyond me. Then when Thomas was deliberately thrown into the railings after the tackle was complete and we didn't get a penalty you knew it wasn't our day. Players from then lost composure.
An awful game. An awful result, not just for today but what it means for the club.

| So glad I made the effort, took the time and spent the money to go and watch that. It was nice to see a team with a desire to win, who ran hard and did the basics well.
Unfortunately it was Dewsbury.
If the team can't be ar**d to play anymore then I can't be ar**d to go.
