Would it not have been sensible to question whether the price of a pint really was £6.80?

A bit difficult if you've a torn calf or a broken ankle!

No need to question it, it said it on the pricelist. Doesn't make it right though, I paid for it because we fancied a cider, wont be paying for it next year (if we are still in super league) will go to pub instead. £110 pounds in tickets plus £5 booking fee ffs, a reasonable price for a pint of cider isn't much to ask £3.40 for a half isn't reasonable.

Not reasonable in the slightest. A pint of bitter in the North stand restaurant is £3.40. It does seem strange cider should be double that price in another bar.

Thought both teams defended well, too nil any side is good in my book. Our offence was a bit better. Two struggling sides...but you have an excuse.

Taken from Duffy's facebook page;

"People moaning about the Bulls today need to get realistic. We were down to 17 available players including the three on loan. They absolutely worked themselves into the ground defending the line and to keep Hull KR, with their massive forwards, to 4 points after the break was incredible. We were down to two subs after 20 minute and at one time the props were Danny Addy and Danny Bridge. Two of our pack are only 20, both on loan and have only played about six Super League games between them. We are bound to have no threat in attack because the pack is not big enough to get us forward. Donno, BK, Adam Henry, AOB etc were immense. I was very proud of the effort of them all today. Whoever gets this club, when they stop messing around, is getting a very dedicated playing roster with a great work ethic from them all and the coaches and staff.
Just a few recruits quickly would turn this round and move us up the table.
Rant over!!!"

He's also been quite vocal on twitter, defending the team after abuse was posted at both Purtell and Gale.

Feel for the players, and part of me is thinking that even if a new owner comes in and attempts to sign forwards to fill the gap - where are we going to get them from? No-one in SL will release players to a relegation rival, leaving us with young loan signings. Feeling pessimistic tonight!

Duffy has that one spot on. Unlike recently, we looked like we had some defensive organisation and cohesion, and given the almost suicidal lack of troops that score line, useless though the result is, is very creditable. Depressing times but nothing to knock today.

I'd contact the club in morning as a Pint of Magners in the North stand is £3.80 I'm being told. We don't however have any control of the bar prices as it's independently run by EMC catering. As for the tickets you could have bought them from Bradford saving £2 per ticket on the day and incurring no booking charge whilst your club would have also recieved 10% of the ticket fees

I don't mean to be blunt but if people like you are silly enough to pay it then they are going to continue charging that.

Duffy slagging off the fans again.

They say that nobodys' perfect but Duffy is almost the perfect ar$eh0le.

Can't fault the effort of the players this week, and in the current situation thats all you really hope for. And realistically we're not winning another game until the ownership is sorted and 3 or 4 players are brought in somehow.

Thought the spirit shown by the lads was superb, especially in the second half - goal line defence was awesome at times.

We were never going to win after losing two forwards in the first quarter. We were not only short of forwards before the game even began but we were then also then down to just two interchanges for three quarters of the match.

Both sides lost quite a bit of ball which, I guess, must be largely put down to the wet conditions, though that said, we certainly didn't create much but without some more 'beef' in the pack we were always on the back foot and never gave the halves any space to work in. Same with the kicks, Gale kept finding the man but never had a chance put his head up and look, to be fair.

Big respect to the lads for not giving it up, the determination to keep them out was obvious and heartening. I'd suspect that the Rovers coach was more disappointed with his team's performance than Franny - 60 minutes with the Bulls down to 2 subs and they only got 4 points?
