| Not so sure the fan base will get smaller next season, however there needs to be a big improvement in the team

| Our bench lost us that game and the fears the fans have had all season were confirmed. I don't think we made another sub after the hour mark. Cannot hae a prop playing 10 minutes and another playing 20 minutes and expecting to win.
Didn't deserve to win. Jimmy blaming the ref and system is just sour grapes. Wakey were there for the taking. Absolutely deflated.

| Hard luck but don#'t think the petulant whinning at the end helped endear you club to potential new fans. Dust yourselves down and go again next year as your a big club who we need in SL, Leigh's breaking of the salery cap should lead to a points deduction so I expect you guys to finish top.

Leigh's breaking of the salary cap? What are you on about man
If Leigh spend more than they are allowed to on their squad, the rfl just refuse to register the players, it's that simple. There won't be any side breaking the cap, and there won't be any point deductions.

This . Dont get mad and you will get another shot next year.
Leigh look as if they are flying but will get a points deduction.
I think their chairman is hoping the deduction will be in the championship and wont count in the qualifiers.
He will be wrong.
I was in favour of the new system at the start but now not so sure.
I genuinley thought ypou could beat Wakey today.
I dont see a club imploding again like wakey have in the last week.

| Gone pretty much as expected. We were not good enough to take Wakeys place and so we stay in the Championship. We were better than last time and I felt we were in the game throughout but thats not enough. Can't see we will get as good a chance again. Not heard the coaches comments but can imagine what he said.

| The problem is though it doesn't take much to finish top. We were very poor this season and still got into the £1m game. Couldn't beat the worst team in SL for years though because we played poorly all year but thought we could click our fingers and play like world champions again.
What sickens me is how the worst Sl team are left cheering and laughing at us because no matter how bad they are they are still better than us.
If they had lost would Smith have behaved like that in front of the cameras - I don't think so.
Thanks Jimmy. We will now be known as the sour grapes club.
Mr Green. You now have a few days of serious thinking to do. Keep Jimmy and lose ST sales or take a risk and bring in someone who will get the best out of the players.
Can't say much more as I have just got in but if I ever hear the club say again we are a SL team playing in the championship I will throw up. Get real. We are a championship team full of championship players apart from just a couple.

Robbie posted something on twitter about it was so they could let Wakefield celebrate. Not sure I buy that - extremely poor form and even if it's true why would the Bulls fans want to stick around though Wakey celebrating. I just wanted to clap the team off and get home as quickly as possible

| Quote: Menston Rhino "Yet another show of pathetic petulance from James Lowes. Covering himself and his beloved club in more sh*t.
The simple facts are that neither of the sides today are worthy of a place in Super League and The Bulls are better served by building for a return over a few seasons.'"
Wakefield are worthy of a place in Super League as they have earned the right to stay up. I wasn't aware of a performance measurement that needed to be passed? No side gaining promotion from any division would instantly be able to compete. It's a building process. Had the Bulls gained promotion then their salary cap would have doubled allowing them to build. If championship teams have to be as good as leeds and wigan to get promoted then we might as well scrap everything other than super league now.
Can't believe I'm having to explain this. This is what it must feel like for nursery school teachers having to explain the obvious.
Edit: Yes, Jimmy acted like a tool and embarrassed himself and the club. I am happy to have him replaced for it.

| He blamed the ref for poor decisions with strong wording. He also blames the system. Just about everything in a very strong manner.
My reply to him is we signed 32 players. The whole team has played SL or higher level. They have played cr*p all year and he is the coach - for now.
Didn't Wakey sack two player for bringing the club into contempt - or whatever the phrase is?
Mr Green, hasn't Jimmy just done that on national TV?
Lets get Glen from Dewsbury and get some fire in their bellies.

Basically slagged the ref off (unjustly) and then slagged the whole qualifying competition off (some truth but mainly emotions having to watch what his players have had to go through this week).

| Head said we'd pull up just short of a victory and unfortunately that is how it turned out. I thought their pack would probably be the difference and I think that was also true today. For all their hard work and endeavour neither Sidlow or Clough really punched through the Wakefield defence. Ferguson was once again our most effective forward and caused Wakefield some problems.
Disappointed yes, but we all knew that everything is stacked in favour of SL clubs and it will take a very special effort for a Championship club to get up under the current rules. I think today was probably the best chance of a Championship club doing it against a very ordinary side by SL standard. Sadly we weren't good enough, definitely an opportunity wasted that I can't see being as good next year even if we make it back into the £1M game.
See Lowes is gobbing off about losing star players now, cutting costs and maybe going PT. Is this true Marc Green, if not you might want to have a word with your head coach. Disappointed with Lowes conduct today with the media, we need more composure from the coach.
