Quote: mystic eddie "Another super duper day for the Bulls.

I tells ya, under the present regime we are really going places.

The sooner we get a new broom in and sweep out all the rubbish from within our club the better.

Bloody joke.'"


Well we've released half the squad now - so why aren't you a bit happier?

Done. 25/01/17.:



Do you think we'll be signing this Foo Foo Lamar or will the brass be used to unblock a few more bogs at Odsal? At 30k a flush, we'll be good for at least 6.

I think their needs to be an immediate positive announcement from the club today, the longer we go without announcing anything the bigger the worry becomes.

I have little doubt the club have known about this for some time and i hope they have a belting card to play otherwise we are on the slippery demise to mediocre rugby and mediocre crowds.

I wish Sam well in his move and hope we see him again on these shores inb a Bulls shirt.

Because the main problem(s) still remains at the club.

Quote: Adeybull "Are you volunteering?

Because you never ever ever post anything constructive about this on here. All you do is complain, and go on and on about what you believe is wrong. We can all do that, and it does not take a lot of brainpower. The harder part is proposing practicable alternatives, and I have never ever seen anything from you that has the slightest chance of being able to happen.

Maybe now is a good time to enlighten us about the actions that should be taken, or (since you have made your views very clear on this) more to the point, how your solution might be brought about?'"


Mr Hood should go and take his merry men with him. Hopefully then we can get someone on board that actually has the best interests of the club at heart.

For long enough we have been alienated by untruths from within the club and the fans are being taken for mugs by the current regime. The club seem to believe that our heads all zip up at the back because I doubt that there are too many people who actually believe a word that they say anymore. In fact, what I find completely bemusing is that people actually still want to defend this sham.

Interestingly though, the only positive words that have come out of the club in the last year or so came from the much lauded Mr Medley. Hood and McNamara again show their incompetence.

Well it is really sad that Sammy is leaving. I look forward to seeing him come back in 5 years time when Macca will be leading the products of our youth development to SL glory!

Who is going to come in, can you magic up a new backer.

Fact is the current regime have stedied the ship financially and allowed us not to fold..........We couldnt continue in the vain we had in the past FACT we dont have a big spending chairman behind the club FACT...yes their has sometime been a communication issue between the club and fans but at the moment it seems with you the club are damned if they do and damned if they dont.

Sam was always going to AUS and would you rather we lost him for nowt next year? as i said i hope the club have some positive from this and i hope it will be announced soon otherwise their may be problems....

Extremely hopefully. Hope against hopefully. Where do you think these wannabe Bulls chairmen hide out?

1. And how exactly would you find this mystic messiah, and persuade him to come "on board"? And persuade him to give loads of his time for free, doubtless his own money, and to put up with all the barrage of criticism and abuse that his predecessor has had to? As I keep saying, its easy to keep pointing out what you think is wrong, but a bit harder to come up with a practicable solution. Remember, Hood himself pleaded publicly at inception for someone to do precisely this. Don't think we had any crowds beating a path to his door.

2. What proof or justification do you have for your allegation that Hood does not have the best interest of the club at heart? If not the club's best interest, then whose? Given he works for free, has his own business interests which are hardly furthered by his involvement with the Bulls, and can hardly relish all the vitriol he is receiving. And, having met the guy a few times and sat round a board-level meeting table with him, this isn't an egotist who thrives on public attention.

3. Given Hood has only something like 7% of the shares (from memory), and last time I looked Caisley still held around 27% and other directors like Jack Bates brought the sum of Caisley plus directors to just over 50%, Hood is hardly in the chair because of any shareholding or financial clout he has. So therefore he must be in the chair because he was seen as the best man for the job. How would you propose addressing that situation?

I hold no brief for Hood or anyone else. And I'm as concerned as the next man. But equally, I believe in the art of the practicable, not just in the mystic magic wand which can simply be waved to solve all the problems.

Here's a thought - is there any way that the club and the T&A can get together for the Bulls reporter to speak to the chairman once a month. Here he gets to ask questions about injuries, players potentially leaving / re-signing, team performance etc. Towards the end of a season he can then comment on potential signings.

He'd not have to give too much away, but a few snippets here and there in the local rag and we'd all stop moaning!

The club also then get the opportunity to generate a little interest each month and we all then know what's happening behind the scenes a little more.

We're not asking for super dooper exclusives - just confirmation / denial of silly stories that gain legs.

What the Club need now is some seriously positive PR Management. We need to be hearing positive stories and good news on a regular basis. The last thing we want to hear is we've signed some more Journeymen Players for next year. Positive PR will be money well spent!

Slightly different as the people who call for Brown to go usually have a replacement in mind. You have nothing.
