Listening on BCB and Mick/Hobbo keep mentioning Toovey as coach. Has there been actual progress made on his visa (other than bank account and vat registration)?

Does that stop them practicing combinations, catching, set plays, tackling technique and working on speed and fitness - sounds like you're making excuses for them.

Left a game with 20 mins to go for the first time in my life

I think you'll find frank that it might be difficult to set up any combinations when we have a revolving door of players and a new half back partnership every week. No excuses for performances like this but what do you expect from a team who you don't know whether they'll be here week to week and they're the youngest team ever every week as more and more academy lads have to step up

Yeah I was venting a littler, I do have a lot of sympathy for the kids, it's genuinely sad watching their careers get ruined by having to front up every week taking bigger and fitter men on.

Don't think I'll be watching again until I see some commitment from the ownership to helping them out.

May support isn't going to be taken for granted anymore

Of course not. But if you get used to tackling 13 stone players and are then charged at by 19 stone players even you must realise it makes a difference. The young lads are doing their best, some of the older ones are trying to do too much and the rest just aren't good enough. At the moment I am just hoping Toulouse can overhaul Swinton.

They may be getting put in too soon and having it tough but having their careers ruined --- really!
Yes, you were venting but that is what happens on social media.

Well that was utterly depressing! Out enthused, out run, out fought and out thought. Didn't see anything from either of the Widnes boys. The amount of times we were out of position defensively in the middle to let a man go in untouched.

More injuries to Oakes, Margrin Mendeika and Moore. Don't think any apart from Margrin are short term.


Attacking wise we went back to old habits of passing down the line with zero dummy runners. Poor all round.

Not good at all. Christ knows what the aggregate score for last 3 games is

Well we've hit rock bottom. Ball firmly in the owners court. Are they serious about taking the club forward or are they just fulflling fixtures to spare Nigel's blushes?

And Swinton beat Toulouse. To cap a perfect afternoon.

So 8 points off survival once again with two hammerings likely in next two matches. Not looking great is it? Least we're ahead of target though according to our chairman!!

I think that's probably the final nail in the coffin. Our players, fresh off the letters informing them of an uncertain future here, are probably already securing deals elsewhere for next season. So why should they care what happens for the rest of the season?

I await a post from Red telling us all not to panic, we're going straight back to SL....He's seen Dane Chisholm's contract, don't you know?

thank you I'm not a bad old lad really,
just like to add for all your fans that turned out today you did your selves proud singing to the end, its not nice having the ty end of the stick but given time you'll pull your selves out lower end and be back up the table in no time, just hang in there

Bit worrying none of the players seem to be coming out on twitter apologising or promising to put it right. Absolute silence. Suggests they possibly don't care

If anyone who attended the match wants a laugh, read the match report on the website.

"Bradford Battle to the Final Whistle". No mention that they didn't start battling until 65 minutes into the game

My personal favourite "Johnny Campbell arguably performed one of the tackles of the season." referring to when he ws handed off by the Sheffield player, causing the Sheff player to lose his balance and fall over, Campbell then got penalised for pushing him into touch.

It mentions the try scored by James Kelly, but doesn't list him in the team line up. Fair enough, it was a late change, but him scoring the try should surely have given them a clue he was in the 17.

It also refers to "The Eagle's Sam Scott". Apparently there's only one eagle...

And those are just examples. It's almost like propoganda the way it's positive about such a completely awful performance.
