After today's performance I have to say we are shocking, theres no excuse for it. Yeah maybe we have a load of injuries but these are FULL TIME PROFESSIONALS, and they nearly got embarrassed by PART TIMERS.

The halves are just plain crap, Potter needs to take them away and show them videos of Darren Lockyer, all he does is stand deep and get runners coming off him.

Also Potter needs to do some serious work, we always look unfit and we are plain scared when it comes to rugby, we were playing better in the last 4 years under McNamara (and I couldn't stand him).

The flat plays are ineffective, they just don't work why can't the coaching staff recognise that? Get deeper, makes it easier to get the ball out to the Wingers.

The defence is absolutly appauling, why the hell have 2-3 men go high on 1 person?? No-one can run without legs, so tackle them!!!

The passing is crap, Herbert's to Platt was appauling, Briggs to Raynor was crap.

We play too 'panicky' when theres nothing to panic about, throwing the ball everywhere, making rash decisons.

I'm usually the one saying to everyone, oh Bulls will be good, give them time etc But tbh I can't do that anymore as I would be lying.

Some people won't like this and fair play to them please post what you want to say but don't be nieve to the fact that we are crap. And before people say 'Your not a true fan'. Or 'Don't watch then.' I have supported the Bulls the entire 16 years I have been alive and I will always have Black, Amber and Red in my heart but the above needed to be said.

On a positve note, Herbert and Briggs put some good kicks in today so theres improvement on the kicking game, also Ah Van kicked 7 from 9 which is good.

Does that work? If so, can anyone get me those videos of Lockyer? I'll then be more than happy to play on Sunday for free.

Yes, as Rugby League professionals they should be able to analyse a video. Henry Paul stood deep. Wigan halves stand deep. Lockyer is the best example though. Im sure theres some videos on Youtube.

It says a lot about our coaching methods if we're having to learn by youtube.

I meant there are videos on Youtube but I'm sure the Bulls could get proper DVD's of games. Jeez the Youtube thing was for DILLIGAF.

Never mind, I found him. I've got a few youtube videos queued up.

I'll give the Bulls a bell in a bit and tell them what I'm doing and see if they can get me registered in the squad in time for Sunday's match.

Let me know when they confirm you, and I'll slot you on squad list - I'm assuming you'll count as homegrown too..

excellente!

Bradford Born 'n' Bred so I would hope so!

I think once the RFL realise my ability from watching the great Lockyer on my VCR, they'll allow special dispensation for me to be registered with the number 6 shirt and Brett Kearney to be given a different number. It just wouldn't seem right for someone with my abilities of sitting on my couch and watching the telly, to be undermined with numbers in the 30+ range!

I'm just waiting for the club to return my call. They assured me that they would pass on the info to Mick Potter and agreed that from the evidence I provided, they'll have me a contract drawn up by the end of the day.

It was going to, but thankfully Kooga still have "Solomona size" pre-programmed in to their sewing machines.
