What the hell has happened to them? They used to be a good team but now I wouldnt be surprised if they finished in the bottom 2 this season- honest! Theyve got a great young coach under their belts but the players, lacking in skill, strength and handling ability, just cant seem to get it together. Its such a shame to see this happening but hopefully a new stadium with an atmosphere might help.
Its hard to believe the club won the Super League championship in 1997, 2001, 2003 and 2005, the Challenge Cup in 2000 and 2003 and the World Club Challenge in 2002, 2004 and 2006.

Its like the rugby league equivalent to the Enron case

[b:1g6itio7][color=#000000:1g6itio7]Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.; [/color:1g6itio7][/b:1g6itio7]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_663.jpg



Bradfords problem is a combination of Iestyn Harris and the Caisley era.

It left the Bulls short of Wonga big time and they have succeeded quite well IMHO to maintain there competetivenesss to a certain degree. The debts racked up then have hit the club hard and slowly they are coming right, it is not going to happen this season. They will be back and NO CLUB has a god given right to in the top two or even the top eight. The Aussies have an up and down culture and its time that British fans of the game excepted it nearly every team is there for a minimum of three years. I enjoy watching the game and I like many have seen our teams beaten by a team in good form that are a joy to watch.

FC have had a torrid time in the last two seasons, but the crowds have remained bouyant and hopefully the climb back is well underway. Wigan where on verge of leaving the league at one point until Nobby and co got them out of the mire. There crowds remained good throughout and they are slowly coming back into the lime light. The big four only know exists in the minds of the sky muppets and a few half wits who prevade this place.

We do not want one team dominating the comp like in the 80/90s that nearly destroyed the game. Hopefully we will have a different team at Old Trafford and winning every year for the next twelve years, now would be good for the game?

I've watched the highlights on super league TV and st helens looked a much stronger, fitter, skillful and more hungry team.

Bradford looked sluggish and average.

Theres no way they'll make the top 8...IMO. You have about 4 maybe 5 teams now that are dead set title contenders and good enough to go all the way then you have the likes of cas that are constantly giving the title contenders headaches and sniffing around the upper part of the table.

So many well drilled, skill full and tough teams now.

Bradford just aint cutting the mustard.

3 teams have won all but 1 of the 14 titles on offer.

Leeds have won 3 titles on the trot and 4 from the last 6.

same teams in last 3 grand finals.

we have a way to go yet.

I take it you're still couinting Leeds in that when they've lost the last two aswell, and looked sluggish & average (especially in the Cas game)

Quote: headhunter "Glenn Hall is a plodder. He was a Bulldogs junior who couldn't cut it, went to Souths in their worst days and was a squad player, got released and spent 2006 in Premier League, filling in twice for the Roosters during Origin before finding a niche at Manly because of the salary cap. He's an NRL equivalent of Ian Kirke, he's not 'quality' by any means and the fact that he has been talked up as a big player for Bradford pretty much sums up the club at the moment.'"


That's how i see him TBH.
