My (rough and ready) workings out come down to us only being able to lose around another 4 games or it's goodnight Vienna. I know from T&A interviews with various assorted players, that the team is, "Training the house down" and "Ripping it up" at Tong, (but still losing each weekend), so a 'big lift' which improves confidence would be very welcome right now.
Incidentally, though any points gained will count in the survival fight, my understanding is that when the 8s kick in, all the loan players (as distinct from DR) are only allowed to play for one club, so I'd guess that means Lilley, Oledzki etc will be back at Leeds. It certainly isn't going to get any easier!'"
DR players must have played eight games at DR club to be eligible to play for both after regular season. Loan players can only play for one team after regular season. I'd expect Lilley, Oledzki, Hallas & Smith back at Leeds.

Maybe we should ask if all our future fixtures can be played on the training ground cos when we play on real RL pictures we are getting the $hite knocked out of us.
Its so unfair that the opposition play real rugby against us - dont they realise how good we are in training.
Maybe the RFL can change the points system so that if your team is good in training you get points, instead of the current stupid system where you have to play real rugby against another team -wtf!'"
It's a bit like the old football joke when the player from the team at the bottom of the league said that they were playing much better now, "We only lost 3-2 against the dustbins in training".

| Well I will be going. I'm hoping that geoff being officially appointed will make a difference to the players as they see the commitment.
Like us fans, I imagine the players have been told very little info and when your coach isn't officially in place they may have struggled to get fully onboard especially after receiving the letters. Maybe, just maybe they will see Geoff as a guarantee something is happening at the club to build on and get up for the rochdale game.
How I see it, the next two games are vital. Rochdale aren't in great form either, then Oldham play midweek before coming to us. Win both we have a very slim chance of gaining confidence with 2 wins on the bounce and putting up a fight to stay up. Lose both, we are relegated.
If they can't get up for these games we deserve to be relegated IMO.
I'm willing to give the players my full support. All I ask is they (and the club in general) give something back.
(Not a dig at anyone who decides not to go - I'm suprised we still get the great numbers we do)

| The last attendance was helped by all the local junior teams being invited to play at halftime. Next week will be helped by the attendees of a Bulls Foundation/Scouts touch rugby festival today getting to play on the pitch at halftime. In both cases child and 1 parent get in free. It's great to see them reaching out to the local kids, and hopefully at least some will return.

| We've conceded 2 soft tries today. This could be decided by which team are fitter and handle the heat. Scorching weather down at the Spotland!

At the moment being a Bulls fan is like going to watch your pet dog kicked to death every week anyway.

| The Bulls really know how to ruin a perfect summers day don't they?!
Both of the Hornets second half tries were embarrassing. Biscuit tackling and switching off after a kick on the last and boom, the game is gone. We have no belief when we get near the line and our confidence sinks after every error. Rochdale slowed the game down a fair bit today but their heart and determination to never give in got them over the line.
We had copious amounts of ball on their line and at one point they looked like they were dead on their feet but yet again we become masters of or own downfall and botch the final play.
If Oldham turn up and ruffle a few feathers we'll buckle again. Very hard to see where the next win is coming from?!

| For me, the biggest issue is an ever revolving 17 man squad. Having inconsistencies in pivotal positions must be detrimental to the cohesiveness of the squad?! Have we played the same 17 back to back at all this season? I'm sure this is the catalyst to our current plight.

| Jesus wept, we really are an embarrassment. We've still got Hull KR (h) & Fax (a) to go in the regular fixtures haven't we?
If there was any doubt about relegation, I think our fate was sealed. What a waste of a season.

I think a lot of it is that most of our current squad just aren't good enough. They were signed at the start of the season, as they were the only players who remained or the only players who couldn't find deals elsewhere (make of that what you will).
Then for various reasons/excuses (no pre-season, lack of fitness throughout, no 'coach', no confidence, no experience) they have got gradually worse throughout this torrid season.
Dropping balls is just inexcusable. Missing tackle counts, is too really, for full-time professional rugby league players.
How many of these (barring the academy lot) will pick up deals next season? Who could possibly look at them and think they were better than what they already have? They have been shown to be mediocre against the bottom 2 part-time teams in the league over the past month. These players are lacking the most basic rugby league skills. What on earth do they do in these magnificent training sessions we hear about all week?
