| We've had two periods where we've been on the cusp of establishing ourselves as a top side in super league and messed it up, 2004-6 we built a top quality team, won the cup and made it to our one and only grand final going 13 games unbeaten in the process, then mismanagement with cooke contract and the subsequent sacking of probably our best coach of the SL era and appointment of our worst led to a period of decline. Then in 2016/17 we could have again established ourselves as a top side that competes at the top, but poor recruitment in 2018 with the likes of fariamo, paea, Dawson Jones, langtree, nzogu and the like, combined with the loss of Ellis, minichello, Manu, fonua (1st time) meant that we lost the platform we had built for ourselves, we've never recovered and further cost cutting and poor recruitment in Gale, Reynolds, Pele, Okunbor, Evans etc has led us to where we are now
Heartbreaking really

| Quote: UllFC "Would love to see a stat of how many of those wins came in the final 3rd of a season too, when other clubs click and push for the playoffs we fall asleep.
Hindsight is a great thing but the Australia trip in 2018 was a turning point for me, maybe we all got complacent at a young side (plus Albert desperate to impress to get an NRL deal) at Stadium Australia running St George very close. We returned home injuries hit, the season ended disastrously (Radford should have gone then) and aside for a short spell in a very odd 2020 season we haven't clicked since.'"
Ignoring 2020 when the season ran to November (and we actually finished OK) our August/September record is
2018 P7 W0 L7
2019 P6 W1 L5
2021 P8 W1 L7
2022 P6 W1 L5
2023 P7 W1 L6
Total P 34 W4 L30

Things that annoy this increasingly grumpy guy are the club booking end of season awards before the playoffs, players being allowed to bring kids onto the pitch before the last home game of the year, and the players seemed to find flights and accomodation at 'last minute' for a trip to Benidorm quite easily last year...the whole culture is wrong.
In contrast Bradford used to be masters at starting averagely then turning into world beaters come summer.

cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

Cripes!!! I knew our results weren't exactly top drawer at the end of recent years, but seeing it in bold black and white makes it all the more stark!!
Can't remember off the top of my head who the 2019 & 21 wins came against? But seem to recall that in the past two years we managed to record home wins against Toulouse (finished bottom and relegated) and Wakefield (ditto). The Wakefield victory last year was then followed by six successive defeats to end 2023 on a bit of a downer.
Seem to recall thinking to myself 12 months ago; things can only get better next year, can't they!!!

2019 was Wakefield again, 2021 Rovers by a drop goal, we then went and killed any dreams by losing the next 5
