Next two games are must win IMO. Two NRL lads and Kaufusi and possibility of Nas & Donno will beef us up next week so no excuses. Really don't think Gaskell is a full back. Get him back to 6.

FC has said after the game that there will definitely be a forward pack taken to France next week, for the first time in a couple of months, stating the season starts now.

Tbh result was a lot better than I feared before game. First 30mins we more than held our own. Was noticeable drop in performance whilst diskin was off the field. Think with additions of kaufusi,nas, baldwinson and hopefully Donaldson next week we're capable of taking points from Catalans.

What are you smoking?A map to the Championships Grounds would be a nice Christmas Present for you Bulls fans .

As said 1st v 9th was a strange pick for a tie. However, as has been said none of the other teams we would like to drag into the fight gained anything. More worrying is that we shipped another 50 points. Whilst realising that we are not going to beat certain teams they have to learn to keep the gap down.

If we do end up being relegated how do you think our team would shape up next year, who from our current team do you think would stay?

I'd toyed with the idea of making a thread about this, but I'm not quite ready to throw the towel in on this season just yet, let's give it a month or so first

I'd expect a large percentage of the first team squad would have to go. There is probably some sort of relegation clause in their contacts.

That being said, I'd like to think that some of the squad would stay and fight to get us back in SL. E.G Danny Brough sticking with Cas when they went down.

In all honesty the question should be who will find other SL Clubs. The obvious ones who could, have gone Sctutes, Carvell, Sammutt and Bateman. Maybe add Donno , Gaskell and the invisible man possibly Kear and I`m struggling.

One thing's for sure Meast - [iwe[/i won't be allowed to be bottom of the pile for four successive seasons before the plug is pulled, unlike some in the past..mentioning no names..

Its not as if there any Championship standard grounds in SL - well perhaps I could think of one not far south of Odsal?

You actually think that did us any favours? We were begging to be relegated rather than getting hammered and losing week after week. You can see what its like with your fanbase getting less and less week after week. Imagine that going on for 4 seasons!! Relegation was the best thing that ever happened to us back then as every Giants fan will tell you. Dont try kid yourselves that the RFL did us any favours in keeping us in SL. We had to build again after getting promotion and the fanbase is gradually getting better.

Well said. And if I remember correctly didn't one of our best players move to Bradford, Brandon Costin, when we were relegated? Although he came back when we were promoted again. Eorl stayed with us and I think you'll find it's more likely to be the local players who will stay and play to get their hometown club back up. How many of your current squad are from Bradford?
