Dustbin SERIOUSLY needs to lose some weight
It's coming to something, when he was literally WADDLING onto the field, before the game even started.
If he's fallen to earth with a bump today, I'm expecting a tsunami affecting North Wales, Merseyside and Lancashire.
Come on Bulls, a competative SL needs you lot to be punching your weight. Today (unfortunately for you lot), you lot had all the punch of an effeminate vicar. BUCK UP.
I've no axe to grind with you fellas. You embraced the SL concept with open arms, and showed the rest of us how it should be done. But in the last handful of years, you've turned into Salford. Capable of beating anyone on your day, but your days are getting few and far between....and you're filling your side with everyone else's cast offs...I mean, Sibbitt...he was sh01t3 with us 6 years ago (when we were sh01te).
We need you, Bradford.
We know it's in there somewhere. Just find it.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

| here you have 2 games which sum up all that is wrong with the current Bulls setup.
Game 1: Play like a set of demons for 80 minutes, murder Huddersfield as if our lives depended on it
Game 2: After 2 weeks rest and practice, trot out at Wire and play pretty much from 1-17 as if nobody could be arrsed in the slightest.
Then all chorus how unacceptable they know it was, and how they'll work sooooo hard next week to put it right.
This is what i have been going on about the players for svereal seasons now, I blame them. I believe Potter is a good coach, but he seems powerless to do anything on the days we decide we ain't playing, and from a paying speccies POV, it is demoralising and annoying in equal measure to give up a Sunday and pay a boatload of cash to go watch a team that we cheered to the rafters a fortnight ago trot out and stick the proverbial two fingers up at the fans.
Sure we have no sugardaddy, but we have a team that can play and can work their backsides off, so we are entitled to ask why some weeks they regularly and clearly deliberately don't bother.

This is what really pi$$es me off. Last game against Hudds the forwards battered the theirs. This week they ran in with no conviction or aggression and with the exception of Raynor and a couple of others the whole team looked as they couldn't give a toss.

Game 1
Couldn't agree more. I just hope Potter now gives the likes of Ainscough/Walker a chance to earn themselves a new deal against Hull KR if they're passed fit. Royston must be wondering what he has to do to get in the team as well.

| Time to give those without a place in the squad a chance - Briggs, Royston, Ainy and Walker, let them show us what hey can do. Especially if Herbert and Ah Van can't be botheed now they know they are leaving. Ainy in for Ah Van and Briggs for Herbert. Royston with Walker on the bench.

Trouble is Briggs, Walker and Ainscough are both on the injured list.

broke his wrist in second or third game for them.
I thought all 3 were nearly back though, Walker, Ainy and Briggs?

Walker and Ainscough must be close to a return now to be fair.

Sorry Red you are wrong there, Noble released Atkins, that came from Atkins himself. He lives in Leeds still and regualrly see him out and about in Pudsey.
I asked him why he left Bradford and he said he went to see Nobby, asking him to give him a chance over Ben Harris so he could prove himself and Nobby declined. SM was assitant at the time and apparently told Akins if he was in charge he would have played him.
I'm no SM fan but you cannot blame him for this faux pas I'm afraid

Atkins was loaned to Wakefield by Noble, and was still on loan when Noble left and McNamara took over, he was in charge when the transfer was made into a permanent move.
Only a clueless coach would have preferred Atkins to Harris, so in a way it is quite surprising that McNamara didn't veto the deal.

That's not what Atkins agent was saying at the time or what Atkins himself told the lads in the 21's at the time with him.
