Is this the biggest fall from grace ever?

WCC Champs in 02, 04 and 06.

To getting beat by Celtic at Odsal and then getting beat by Salford at the Willows thus making them 13th out of 14 SL teams

A little smile occurs seeing them down there but could this be the beginning of the end for Bradford?

Surely it's the end of the end as they can't really go any further down? They're still a strong club and a bit of success on the field would see the crowds flocking back.

It's ALL Macnamara's fault as he hasn't rebuilt the squad well enough and it's laughable that he's still in the job. The rumours are that he's there only because they can't really fork out for the amounts needed to pay his compensation.

Last year there were 12 teams in the league - and now Bradford are 13th.

Haw haw haw!

I'll get it out of the way before any trolls do...

And yet they beat us at our place.

It certainly shows how quickly fortunes can change thats for sure.

The fact the managed to beat us and Leeds and draw against Hull KR shows that they must have the capability but for some reason they aren't able to do that every week which must be frustrating/annoying for their fans.

Things certainly aren't looking good for them at the moment and as you say it is slightly amusing as an opposition fan but surely this must be a case of "the only way is up"? Although i'm not sure how far up they will manage to get without a change of coach.

Their fall from grace all started with their signing of iestyn harris imo,all their top stars have subsequentently left due to their being no more money left in the pot for contract upgrades!
Good signing agent caisley

Like saintc says,Bradford are a bunch of traffic cones..

Long injuries to morrison, solomona, godwin, crookes doesnt help.

also for weeks deacon, nero and lynch were injured..

swap puletua for morrison, wilkin for solomona, roby for godwin, gilmour for crookes, long for deacon, graham for lynch and gidley for nero and you lot would be struggling as well.

Just looking at those names you have compared and its no wonder you are where you are

I reckon you'd be higher up the table if you picked 17 traffic cones each week

The sooner Bradford get their act together the better.
They were one of the games I used to look forward the most.
Allways a good game with a decent away following. The more people watching Rugby League the better as far as Im concerned.

If they go eleven/twelve/thirteen/x (delete when applicable) years without winning the league then they'll equal the biggest.

Why morrison plays same position as puletua, godwin same as roby, wilkin- solomona, long-deacon, graham-lynch etc..they are all our pivotal positions and they are as important to our team as ur players are to urs.

What do want me to do compare deacon to ashurst, lynch to emmitt etc.

I remember when they signed 5 average players a couple of seasons ago, and people were saying that this will improve them.

When it was completely obvious that they would continue to get worse.

Nero FFS

Better than Nathan McAvoy is suppose.

Yep, we would. In fact, we'd be losing on a fairly regular basis.

It seems what happened to Hull last season has happened to you this season. It's a shame.

I think it's rubbish to blame the coach.

Bulls are in money trouble and have had to sell the likes of pryce, hape, big les, fielden and have also lost likes of Anderson, big joe and few others.

Macca then has to replace them with no money. He's tried to get the best available at the time like Nero, jeffries, sykes, platt and few others.

At the time these players he brought in seemed good value but they have let him down bad.

I'm sure if the bulls board thought it was all his fault he would have been sacked.

Rubbish, Bradford have not had a decent away following at Saints for 6 years or so, ever since Saints did the 2nd team display at Odsal.

if you want a thought about the Bulls struggling then
Bradford v Saints in round 19 is not being covered by Sky- when was the last time this fixture at either stadium was not televised- must be a decade at least

OH That's it then! It's all our fault!! Well, we must be punished..!!

It all started with the Harris signing, they are in terminal decline. They don't own their ground so they can't sell it get themselves out of it and they dont have any decent players left to sell. Their attendances are down to nothing so they cant afford to sign any better players. On top of that their chairman has no money to help either. I honestly don't see them getting a license next time round.

So you rekon there only way up is to bring in a chairman with a bit more brass?

Are you seriously suggesting Bradford will be thrown out of superleague?

I don't think it's quite that. It has dropped off since then, however there has been a more noticeable decline in the past three years.



Ludicrous statement.

Aren't we playing them in Round 17 (Sun 21st June)
