Quote: Bullseye "I think it's far too early to judge the new halfbacks. If we get our attacking line stood deeper and employ some dummy runners and give the playmakers more than one option we should look better. Whether this will happen we'll have to see, but it's clear what the problem is so McNamara will know what needs addressing.

As for other players I think there will be some pressure on Halley. '"


Tbh I don't think there will be just yet, no-body played a blinder last night. I do suppose later on in the season we might want to see how Reardon or Kearney fare there though.

Worrincy was dire, and wasn't even good in attack last night. It should certainly be Whitehead's turn next week.

I also think unless one of them is playin outstanding, it should be 20 minutes in each half between the hookers.

oh dear same old same old:Games/PDT_362.gif



Sorry to say this so early on in the season, but as i said last season average player less that average coach. Its dissapointing to see the bulls as a poor side but this wont change under the current system

Its great when a side lose their first match huh? Leeds lost at Cas, why don't you go post that on their board?

People seem to be taking alot away from Hudds last night. A lot of errors were our own fault but a fair few were forced by them and overall their defence was excellent, they'll be a hard team to beat this season.

We will improve on last year.

While I agree with a lot of positives that have been mentioned, & I know it's only our first game, but it has been said that we are aiming for top 4 with a grand final appearance in either competition. It's hard to accept we lost our first game. I thought the lads played really well last night, a much better performance from some of our plays last season.

We need to be much better than just playing really well, if we want to put our club in a big mix towards the end of the competition.

Last year is over, we've moved on, but I fear it's already starting to haunt.

Still head up, and let's hope last night was a wake up call that maybe a few of the lads need to ensure we are going in the right direction.


I remember feeling rather annoyed and frustrated at us coming away with a draw at the start of last seasons campaign.


I'm still really excited about our team and I can't wait for next week against the Saints

Quote: Ewwenorfolk "

Well said Ewwenorfolk (never thought I would say that icon_wink.gif )

Leeds were pants at Celtic because Celtic played well for 65 mins, Leeds lost against Cas because no doubt Cas were the better team. Bradford lost against Huddersfield because you made errors enforced by a great defensive effort.

As I said before Bradford will win alot more games than they lose playing like that but sometimes you have to swallow your pride and accept the best team on the day won.

Orford looks a great signing and alot of tries will come from him, your pack will out muscle alot of teams and Sherrife look good last night IMO.

People seem to forget it's one game into a new season and nothing is ever won or lost after 1 game. Good Luck for rest of season.

Seeing that abject failure of a coach moving one game closer to the sack is about as enjoyable as it gets these days.

L'Estrange was awful, but I guess he may come good. As for Worrincy? He will never make a decent player as long as his ar$e points south.

Quote: Stul "Heavily in favour of the Bulls.

And whilst he seemed harsher on the lying on for Hudds than he was for Bradford, he missed 15-20 grapple tackles from Hudds players that he could have penalised.'"


To be fair Stul he missed alot of things such as when Sherrife swung at Hodgson and when you knocked on but we still had to drop out, also watch sky again when Orford kicked and Gilly got sent to bin, Kearney looked possibly offside and when jumped for ball against Brett hodgson wasn't looking at ball at all just went for man.

Also missed lying on from Langley most of game but sent Robbo off, don't think we were lying on any longer than the Bulls but we were on wrong end of alot of decisions

That aside it's expected with Ganson in the middle as ws mentioned long before the kick off

Watch the video, you weren't. I thought you were a little hard done by when I was at the game, but having watched the video, your discipline was shocking. That needs sorting out before you come up against a team that will take advantage of it, which sadly we couldn't.

The messing around ruined an otherwise superb defensive display from Huddersfield.

It's about time they gave up on the "special project" that is Worrincy. With so many top rated young back rowers banging on the door, I have no clue why they continue to play Worrincy. We all know where his strength lies (the angled line running), but he shows absolutely zero signs of improving in his obvious weakness areas.

Time to let Donaldson, Whitehead & Olbison take over.


As far as L'Estrange goes, much like Kearney & Ox, he needs a bit of time to get the timing with his new teammates. Was a little odd how he wasn't interchanged quicker though.

He didn't say he didn't put the effort in. Effort is good, but giving away needless penalties and possession up completely overshadows any effort.

McNamara did a similar thing against Hull KR IIRC. I think L'Estrange is a better distributor from dummy half and perhaps a little less individual than Wagga. I think there is definitely an argument for giving Wagga some gametime towards the end of each half when teams are beginning to fatigue. Perhaps he left L'Estrange on because we were starting to find our way back into the game in the final 15 mins or so of the first 40.

Having watched the game last night I have to say the bulls are a shadow of the team they once were and I wonder how much longer steve mac will last?

Well after having a few hours to chill out and watch the replay a few times I have come to the conclusion that we wern't as terrible as I originally thought. Very rusty all through the game when theey shouldn't be but there was some good things at time and a lot of room for improvement.
