Three of the players you mentioned in that list were released. Only Lynch and Fielden were sold for a fee.

If you're going to lecture us on how we've managed to survive then look up the facts first.

He he, I like all this. Can I just mention that the Bulls have topped the league about the same number of times that Shudds have come bottom? Though I confess we couldn't manage to do consecutively, Like they did!! Boom boom

As I remember Hargreaves was tackling someone then he made a big swinging arm movement with his right arm that impacted in the Hudders players midrift. Whether it was a punch I couldn't see. Alibert had an excellent view of it and ignored it until the melee ensued.

O'Donnell was binned for rushing in from miles away to the punch up I think but he wasn't alone. I was surprised we got the penalty.

While I'm glad we've shown a lot more commitment and aggression in recent weeks I do think we got a bit ill disciplined yesterday and it cost us. Elima's penalty for backchat was needless for instance though as my Dad said, he's probably the only one of the field Alibert can understand.

Alibert actually initially signalled a penalty for Huddersfield following Hargreaves "punch". The melee then ensued and afterwards O'Donnell was binned and the penalty reversed.

So is anyone looking at a ban for this?
Hargreaves has previous...

nope. o'donnel got sending off sufficient. none of our players charged.

Every club appears to have their fair share of prats some more than others
Yesterday stood on the popular side on my own and minding my own business whilst clapping my team off i was set on by two 40 something year olds pointing their fingers in my face and shouting the usual bile and vitriol in my face one so animated he was spitting on me.
Usual nonsense, no fans, propped up by ken davys money etc....

Now I was always told about people in glass houses

Bradfords away following at the Galpharm in the last 3 years has been probably the worst of any of the top 8 teams ( catalan excepted) and its the closest SL team to the Galpharm

Wasn't Bulls winning trophies when they were spending beyond their means
How is this different to the bank rolling by Mr Davy? Both spending more than their income.

I know there are a lot of very good passionate bulls fans but there are many who are downright abusive its a shame really

Apologies for those fans.

We haven't been a top 8 team though so its not really fair to compare us to those followings.

Its different as if you didn't have Davy you wouldn't be able to field a quality team like that. Spending beyond our means isn't the main reason we are in this mess either.

It's a sign of how things have gone this season that I am genuinely surprised by this.

Huddersfield won the match, fair play. But they hardly did it in style. 3rd tackle kicking and boring us into submission, along with the fact that we were pretty awful in attack, is what led to our downfall. Given the fact that our halfback pairing that started the season are both injured and we were also missing our substitute hooker and first choice full back, I can't see there being much between the sides in the return fixture. The only teams who have beaten us comfortably and looked like a class apart from us were Wigan and Catalans. Otherwise there's not been a right lot in it. And after saying that we'll probably get battered by Warrington...

Hardly did it in style? behave, in those conditions, two of the try's where as good as your likely to see at the crater all season
Broughs deft kick across field to McGilveray and then Luke George's superb try in the second half

*Were. If you must respond please spell things right.

What I meant to say was that you were, shall we say, less than convincing. Our fans have banged on about our "great effort". That doesn't wash with me, I expect great effort regardless of who we play or the conditions. You were the better side on the day. But not by very much. Which speaks volumes when you think that we couldn't even name a 19 man squad, let alone pick our first team. You're top of the league but there isn't a gulf in class between our sides. Which is the point I was trying to make.
