Indeed. Bradford are a disgrace. |

After two games after a fragmented start to the season? I think that would be harsh! |

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

Dropping 3 out of 4 points against mid-table/lower clubs at home would be unacceptable, and clear evidence that problems that have been mounting over the last couple of years have not been addressed. |

I'd be extremely surprised if we ever sack McDermott. |

I fancy a Bradford win by 30-12. I don't understand all the pessimism after just one match which we dominated against decent opposition!

| Where have I been? Some of us have followed Bradford for a considerably long time and for years were happy just to see the club get to semi finals and perhaps win the odd away game. We turned out in all weathers to cheer them on and just playing the likes of wigan and st helens was appreciated without having to beat them. We all hoped we would but knew deep down it was unlikely. We were realistic and I think the newer post super league bulls fans have been conditioned into expecting too much success and they are the poorer for it!
It takes 14 teams to make up super league and no one team has a divine right to win it. Not too long ago leeds fans were bemoaning their lack of success but it is there turn now.
I am reasonably happy with what McNamara and his team are doing even though they came up a bit short last season and there were reasonable excuses for that.
I have more optimism for this season which hasn't been helped by the postponements and I think you should give this squad a chance to bed in and get some games under their belts before you start calling for the coaches head.
I bet you'd be a bundle of fun if you were a wire fan!  |

...and good for you. Reasonably happy? Clearly your standards are pretty low then.
BTW, I was not calling for the coaches head. Yet.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_19829.gif |

Done. 25/01/17.: |
|
| We satta see wot appens.
I don't think the Giants have had a better opportunity than Friday to beat us at Odsal.
With the fractured start to the season I think we will still be very rusty.
Bulls 12-18 Giants. Gulp.  |

That Whitehead looks a big youth, good to see him in the squad but him and Crookes to miss out?
