| I have followed Bradford Bulls and Northern since the mid seventies, good times and bad, more bad than good as it goes, but I have NEVER in thirty odd years felt embarrassed to be a Bradford fan, at least not until today I hadn't.
What I witnessed today was a disgrace, a shambles, a totally unacceptable lack of effort by 17 men, yes I said 17 men as the term 'team' cannot be applied to them. I have seen dark days as a Bradford fan, and I have seen us take some real hammerings, but whilst taking those hammerings the players would give 100% passion and commitment to the cause, a bit of pride in the shirt, a never say die attitude and fight to the end.
That was not present today, there were just 17 men who could not care less that they were about to be humiliated, about to be beaten, at home, by a side who had never even gained a point in Super League. Seventeen men who had no pride in wearing the shirt of my beloved club.
I call on all true Bulls fans to add a reply below asking for answers from the club as to what's going on, and I will then forward this thread to Peter Hood

| You're going way OTT, and being totally disrespectful to Crusaders to boot.

| Due to a badly broken ankle today was my first game of the season unfortunately, so I cannot comment on the Wire game.
Not being disrespectful to Celtic, they totally deserved their win no doubt about it, but the Bulls were a complete and utter shambles and Ben Jeffries the less said the better!!

You were lucky to have broken your ankle.

| personally i dont think we played that bad, the problem was that the crusaders didnt let us play i thought thier defence was awesome, and thier forwards matched us all game yes there was a couple out there that didnt desrve to be ie deacon, burgess was really quiet, we did lose semi early on wich prompted a reshuffle early on, i myself wont be too dissapointed by this loss, as celts were bound to get thier 1st win sometime unfortunatly it was us who handed it to them , cas did exactly the same last year at leeds, this is wot make the super league more of a competition, everyone is beating each other, bring on next week and forget about this one, oh and dave halley was awesome

| Ben Jeffries won the national hide and seek championship today, nobody amongst 7,500 at Odsal saw anything of him for 80 minutes.
Well played Ben!
