Quote: Wigan Bull "Indeed.

I would like to think the Bulls are well underway for 2010 squad additions, in fact I think it's been stated elsewhere we are.


I take your point, but I still don't feel sacking Macca is the answer. I think he has been a victim of circumstance (and cost cutting) in many departments.


Would there? I'm not so sure



I would say that youth development is key. And we ARE sprending the FULL cap*

[size*if what the Hood is telling us is correct.[/size

And as for players not wanting to come to the Bulls, well Leeds managed perfectly well, despite finishing near the wooden spoon in the first couple of SL seasons.


Fair point.



Again fair point, the club do need to get a little slicker in their dealings with the fans.

I sent an email enquiry over a week ago to the info@ address. I have yet to receive any sort of response
.'"


I emailed them a while back and Stuart replied the next day, so I'm not sure that is always true.

Personally I would judge him on our performances, excluding the more extreme fluctuations. ie ignore the two best and two worst performances. All teams can occasionally raise their game to heights that they cannot sustain, all teams have occasional stinkers. Look at what is the norm.

Bradford gave us Hockney, Leeds gave us Moyles.:731.jpg

Applying that standard (and I don't think it's a bad one) to this season, the norm is very close matches that go our way around one time in three.

But we haven't had any big wins have we, just narrow wins, narror losses and some BIG losses. icon_confused.gif I know you like to paint a positive view but I'd be surprised if we don't get any more big wallopings especially once the pitches start to dry out.

I dont buy this we can't play in the wet nonsense. If the players are up for it and there is a good plan we could play on the moon and win icon_smile.gif

The "dry track suits us better" line seems to be something spouted by most clubs nowadays, whether it is true or not I can't see it making that much difference, it isn't as if the team is blessed with pace and has been bogged down for the last few months.

No doubt those who truly believe in that will be in the "it's too hot" brigade come July and August if results still aren't there.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have won games we haven't, I just think we play better on dryer grounds

So that makes it OK. So going on your logic it's another four wins then this season.

I don't think af was saying it was OK, just that is the pattern so far. That's how I read it anyway.

I know, but it seems every club has fans who say that nowadays so, if it is true, it will just balance out.

Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time - "You are mentally ill and I can't indulge your madness any more" Utter disgusting abusive remark from a keyboard warrior:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44308.gif

Well I enjoyed the male voice choir and the tag rugby at half time. It's the entertainment during the 80 that is often lacking at home this season.
