Quote: NickyKiss "That's the thing isn't it, we were as inexperienced if not more so then Bradford. I looked at the scoreboard at 76-0 just as we'd scored our 14th try and saw Williams, Hampshire, Manfredi etc back slapping and celebrating and it really hit me that Bradford shouldn't be getting beat by that scoreline against a young Wigan line up. Our kids are the best in the country but they had enough experienced bodies in their line up to keep that score respectable.

Cummins said they never threw the towel in, I beg to differ.'"


The sight of a heavily overweight jamal fakir gesturing that he'd had enough and wanted to come off (after Manfredi's try IIRC) suggested that he'd definitely thrown the towel in. SW wouldn't be letting a Wigan player pull the shirt on ever again if they'd done that!

Totally agree. They were an embarrassment.

For all their club's problems, there were still 13 of them out there, and they are all supposedly professional players. Half that Wigan side consisted of juniors. The should never have been allowed to inflict such damage.

I can only assume Cummins's job is safe because no-one else wants it.

You’re too right, and I’d bet there’s about another 12 sides fans besides in SL that would have taken a great deal of pleasure in sticking their verbal boot into our gonads. (Verbal boot where the bloody hell did I get that silly analogy from, well you know what I mean).

Quite so, one has a tendency to lapse into the common in an effort to make a point, it’s a weakness I know. icon_biggrin.gif icon_wink.gif

Quote: "MANAGING director Steve Ferres has expressed an apology following yesterday's defeat at the hands of Super League champions Wigan Warriors.

Ferres, who was appointed last month following the club's takeover, has moved to thank supporters for their continual backing.

In a statement, he said

So glad the RFL have never stepped in to micro-manage things at Wigan.

Quote: NickyKiss "Tickets are very reasonable on Sunday and they will need to be to draw an attendance.

As much as it's never good to see a superleague game as farcical as that, it was pleasing to look in to the future and see young lads like Hampshire and Williams toy with an opposition defence like that. They were both exceptionally good I thought. I've been particularly impressed with Williams recently. He's grown in confidence each week and looks a real threat with ball in hand.'"


They had a defence??? icon_eek.gif icon_eek.gif

Quote: Cruncher "I'm not sorry for their fans.

After one of the two Grand Finals we lost against them in the early 2000s, my grandson and I were unfortunate enough to spend 10 minutes in a tram with a great gang of them, and were subjected to the worst behaviour I've ever seen by any RL fans in any circumstance ever.

I'm sure that lot were all the sort of fair weather supporters who would have dropped the Bulls at the first sign of trouble and now don't even remember following them, but I will never forget the events of that night. The Bradford club all but disappeared in my estimation as a result.'"


That's terrible to hear, and unfortunately these people do crop up all over the place. For what it's worth, I've had nothing but good experiences of Bradford fans, and Odsal has long been my favourite away ground because the fans have come across as the most gracious in victory and defeat over the years.

Obviously we will all only ever meet a small amount of a supporter base, so there's always the chance that we have different experiences of the extremes. So in contrast I can't help but feel bad for what's happened to Bradford over the last few years.

Quote: apollosghost "Couldn't make the game yesterday but I'd argue our two back to back 70 point mullerings would be hard to knock off top spot in the "worst ever performance" category.'"


Those days makes you really appreciate what has happened to us from 2010 onwards.

You were the lucky one to miss the game. Seriously the first set of 6 and you knew it was going to be a very big score. I do think that Hunslet will gie a better account than Bradford did.

I really think its time to end the 2 game Easter bank holiday players needs time to recover and the beatings we gave Hull Kr and the Bulls on the last 2 Easter mondays does not do the game any good. Whilst some of the tries were impressive and it was good to see so many youngsters on display it shows how bad sides really are. I did not enjoy the game as it was a non contest but boy we do have some incredible young talent atm.

Think Cas and Widnes might want to keep the Easter Monday fixtures

But the turnaround is the same for all sides, no-one gains any advantage from it. It's suposed, in theory, to benefit clubs with bigger squads, but as already pointed out, Cas & Widnes put paid to that argument, as did saints icon_mrgreen.gif
