As if we would be bitter of Huddersfield - You've long been jealous of us, and you still are. Despite our loss to you lot last night, we still tower above you in stature and appeal.

Been in Morrison' in Wakey this morning. Apparently all the grapes have been recalled to head office because they are too sour. A statement from the company says all is not lost we have given them to the Bulls' fans.  |

Perhaps, (well apart from wigin, I suspect Noble will be a free agent again soon, want him back, or did he get while the getting was good?) but from the games so far this season, Leeds and Saints are there for the taking HKR showed that, we were inches away from beating Saints last week but lacked the patience we had this week.
At the start of SL, Bradford hit the ground running, they adapated fastest and reaped massive rewards in terms of crowds and results, but now the nature of the beast has changed and Bradford (and I suspect Saints) arent changing with it fast enough
Its certainly interesting times for an RL fan, especially for a fan of a club thats improving. |

Again, I have to agree with you. In terms of unpredictability SL is becoming more like the NRL, tbh I couldn't say now who will finish top It cuold be you, HKR, Leeds Saints or anyone! Sl is becoming more competitive and therefore more fun to watch. As a supporter of a club that is on the downturn -supposedly- it may not be as good as it is for you, but if super league is becoming more varied and unpredictable that can only be positive! |

Yes, after 15 years of the most succesful period in the clubs history we now have sour grapes because Huddersfield finally managed to beat us in the league whilst playing at home.
Of course that is very true to what Bulls fans are feeling.

I think everyone appreciates that SL is improving and results will inevitably be closer, however it is the quality of rugby that we're playing that worries me. If we had shown some improvement and lost it would be easier to accept. But unfortunately at the moment it feels like we're back in 2008. I don't expect or demand an immediate change of coach, but we need to start seeing some drastic improvement. By May/June we need to be deciding who will be coaching the side and what positions need strengthening.

I agree whole heartedly. Alternatively I could accept some of the defeats if we were blooding some youngsters in preparation for the next couple of seasons, I could also accept it if the team and particularly the backs were selected to their strengths. |

I think this is the view of the fans that will turn up to support the team through thick and thin. We have had a number of fantastic years in the recent past which was great fun to be a part of. Like Gill I am not writing off the season because we have dropped 3 out of a possible four points.
