I would think its a certainty that the Bookies will price up the Bulls as short priced favourites - something like :-


4/5 Bulls
2/1 Leigh
3/1 London
4/1 Fev
6/1 Bar

Thats a little presumptious isn't it. Hope you don't think you are too good to be in the championship too. Arrogance is not a pleasant trait despite what Koukash thinks

I've looked and can't find any team called "Early Bath" in the Championship.

In any case any team that doesn't have enough ambition to make SL never will. If they don't think they should be in SL then they never will be. What are you thinking? That we should impress on the players that they are just as bad or no better than the rest of the Championship teams? "You're shiit, and you know you are"?

I'm guessing you're not a sports psychologist.

Not talking about the players. At least all the other clubs will want to knock you off your perch. Take the pressure off Leigh Fev and Fax for a while.

Either way you should finish top shouldn't you

The funny thing is that Bradford really should walk the league, the problem they will have is that most of the good players are already signed up and they are already fighting around for the scraps while teams like Leigh, Fev, and Fax are putting the final touches to their squads.

As i have said in the past ,my team (Cas) have been down twice, hang on in ,a couple of years and you will be back ,look at us, 4th and one game away from Wembley,keep the faith.

The promotion goal posts have changed somewhat since though.

So how do you think the conversation went with Gaskell and Ferguson before they signed up:

Jimmy: sorry guys, theres just a load of scraps around, some 50 year old 10stone props and a half baked half back kid. all the other SL2 teams have signed the rest. we have no plans for getting anybody else in, so you two are going to have to be the forward and the back, or you can play for another SL1 side. So how do you feel about a contract with us?

Ferguson and Gaskell: Yes please!!!!!!

TBH, we've been relegated at probably the best point in the season for it to happen. It's round about this time of year when players are told yes or no that they're getting a new deal with their current club. So there should still be players about looking for 2015.

Pedantically, I think that's April. While the anti-tampering deadline was moved forward, I'm sure I read somewhere that clubs have to write to players in their last year stating the intention whether they'll be offered a new deal or not. Admittedly we may probably be in a different boat for a couple of reasons so I'm happy to be corrected.

That's a little presumptuous isn't it?.

I've got a slant on P&R. Given that we do not have a sugar daddy in the wings as he/she would have come forward before what do people think about promotion. Everyone is talking about the best chance of any championship club have of getting promoted is to finish in the mid 8 in 4th/5th and the winning the one off play-off. What that means realistically is that they would be slightly better than the worst of the SL teams. Moving on a few months you could only see a season of perpetual struggle and back into the play-offs. What I would like to know is: would people prefer to get to the position of 4th/5th and then lose which would probably give you another season of relative success the following year or would you prefer to win and follow it up with a season of struggle.

Watching that game tonight,how on earth have we not got in the top 8

Yes I know the reasons why

Best description of tonight's game was us playing us

That was a terrible game
