You feeling okay dude?

Wouldn't argue with that, but as I pointed out, given the number unavailable and lack of direction [no no.7, which isn't the fault of those who did play] and the closeness of the result I don't think the display [from the guys on the field] was quite as bad as some are portraying it. It was though, those blokes who copped the flak and not the ones behind the scenes who maybe are more culpable?

I clearly didn't make my point very well in my first post. I agree wholly with Bulliac. The players should not be booed but there are others in the background who need to be held to account.

People grow disillusioned with things though Bulliac. The result v Halifax was just another in a long line of poor results and (according to many on here) poor performances. The general consensus too is that no lessons from last season have been learned, and, in fact, things have gotten worse.

People will vent their anger at things and, given the clubs recent form of deliberately misleading their fans during the Q&A nights etc. probably feel that there is no other route to go down in order to make their point.

Mystic E - Delberately misleading?? I seriously do not understand your assertion . Can you give some examples ?
To me, the current management has been far more straightforward and straight talking than previous regimes. I have not agreed with some of their decisions but have never felt they were deliberately misleading any of us.

BN. Sorry if I was unclear. The present regime ARE an improvement (despite the continued existence of the teflon-coated media man) but people have been Peter Hoodwinked for too long. Any concerns were swept under the carpet whilst the board bled the club dry. It is easy to be unconvinced that words would be met with any concern from the board whatsoever.

Especially given the rant by Ferres at the very people who pay his wage. He is a man who needs to look in the mirror.

I watched the match again on BullsTV yesterday and, to be right, we defended very well for most of the game, as did Fax though it's fair to say we caused them fewer problems. Our goal-line defence was quite superb, in fact.

One thing we seem to have given up on is off-loading. We rarely did so and this is one of the reasons we caused so few problems to the Halifax defence [they off-loaded quite a lot in comparison], it's amazing how we divvied up the ball quite so often when we played so conservatively. For sure there were plenty of, 'who are you', and 'what are you doing there', errors, but given the much changed side I suppose that was to, to some extent, inevitable.

The pitch looked much muddier and covered in sand on TV than it did on the day, particularly the Skircoat Rd end, running in it must have been difficult for both sides.

Hope you all clapped them off today.

I have given all of them a STD. Let's see what that does for their feelings of adequacy.

It's like clapping them, but in a bad way

The players were awful today,the exceptions being Fleming who played with heart and O'brien who was often the first man in. The defense was none existent and they didn't deserve to be clapped off in the end.

Brainless rugby played by individuals rather than a team.

Sheffield weren't particularly very good. We were that bad! !

Something needs to change as these players are playing like shadows of their former selves.

^ This

There's no passion, no ideas and no structure. Even at 12 - 12 the Bulls players looked knackered and despondent. We're a shadow of the team we were last year even!

Well said.

Thought STD was something to do with telephones?

There's no good way with that sort of clap.
