McNamara isn't a great coach for a start.

And i'll bet you anything that we won't finish in the bottom 3. That's reserved for Quins, Crusaders and Salford.

Top 6...possibly top 4

If McNamara isn’t a good coach then how come he was assistant England coach?

He has a massive job on his hands at Bradford with the players he’s got playing for you. In the only Bulls players I can think of off the top of my head right now Are Lynch, Orford, Menzies and Langley.

Most of them are at the twilight end of they career with little desire other than to get a roof over their heads and food on their plates whilst at Bradford. This surely rubs off onto the others players as well.

You may finish above Salford but I wouldn’t be too confident on finishing above Crusaders and Quins especially. The sooner McNamara can get out of Bradford the better because he’s talking to a brick wall. At least elsewhere players will listen to him and be on that form that Bradford had at the end of last season.

Won’t happen this year however

No way

Bradford have pinned their hopes on four imports, none of whom are even rep players. If you look at the other imports brought over this season by established sides (ie not Salford and Crusaders), there are only two others with no rep honours in the entire league (those being Tronc and Delaney). The rest are all either Origin players or internationals. Not saying that this autmatically makes the Bulls imports bad players, but I will be surprised if Bradford finish as high as they did last season as they have on paper a weaker side while others have improved.

After Tuesday when the Odsal sports village gets the chop from the council they will be heading for oblivion playing at Valley parade in a sh**hole area with ever dwindling crowds. First division rugby will be the outcome if they are lucky.

During the off season, loads of people kept bigging up Bradford's recruitment and tipping big things. I felt like I was the only one who thought they'd brought in a bunch of nobodies other than Orford, and let go some of their most influential players.

Where have all the "Bradford, Champions 2010" brigade gone?

I think McNamara is having the same problem that Agar had at Hull, that being having a team of players who are just going through the motions. Agar has cut out the deadwood and replaced them with leaders. McNamara seems to have brought in a lot of average players to replace other average players. There's no point in cutting out the deadwood if you're gonna replace it with similar players.

Totally dumbass and invalid poll. Needs a "none of the above" option else it is not valid.

If the OSV does not go ahead, the club faces oblivion.

Would it be so bad playing at Valley Parade though,i went there when the Bulls played Widnes about 1990 ish and it seemed an ideal RL venue and its improved a lot since then

Most away fans hated it. Home fans voted with their feet despite us having a champion side and our average crowds were lower at VP than they were at Odsal.

I don't like to think what crowds would be at VP to watch the current side.

However I do think we'll be there for next season. The club will have a devil of a job keeping crowds up once we're there.

Two games in and whats the panic ?

They are a side still in transition and people will have to accept this, it takes time to build a side up.

well if we can panic after 1 game, its only fair they can after 2

Yeah, unfortunately you don't do that by replacing the likes of Vainikolo, Hape, Withers and Burgess with Sheriffe, Sykes, Platt and Danny Sculthorpe. I've never seen such an alarming decrease in a club's squad over four years.
