Thats 7 on the bounce now a new bulls record ;o)

Lost again ? FFS .
Any other results ?

Steve Mac's CV is awesome.

Holds the record for consecutive losses at BBRLFC
Took a team from Champs to mid table/playoff missing dwellers in 4 years
Presided over the sale of Bulls best player in each of the seasons, 06/07/08/09
Signed some of the worst players to ever wear a Bulls jersey


Anything else to add? Sure there is a few more.

Looks like we,ll drop out of the 8 has it looks like Castleford have beaten Huddersfield.

Despite the frustration of losing again, the Bulls were deservedly clapped from the field. Indeed had we not been judged "held up" nder the posts with minutes to go, a fair draw would have been the outcome.

In the first half, for a number of reasons we simply couldn't get hold of the ball, and that, coupled with 3 key bad decisions in defence, left a hill to climb.

McNamara must have done something at half time though as wecame out and played extremely well for most of the second half. We really did not deserve to end up losing again, and a bit more steadiness (such as the pass over Halley's head when he had a clear run in) we could have won.

Some outstanding performances again from the young lads, Addy in particular, Kearney was outstanbding, good work from Sheriffe too. Against Hull's pack we looked to be really missing Scruton in the first half, but once the forwards got going, they spent most of the second half on top, and whilst it was another loss, the team emerged this time with plenty of credit.

Poor 1st half, a much improved 2nd half. I thought Hull were there for the taking in the 2nd half but we just couldn't find the right plays at the right time. I thought Addy showed some real quality today, I hope he stays in the side for the remainder of the year. I think he has shown he is ready for SL and he will only improve with extra time on the pitch.

I hate to pick on the favourite scapegoat, I'll support any player in a Bulls shirt who I feel is at least giving their all. But what McNamara sees in Worrincy I'll never ever know. The guy must be the laziest player we have. He doesn't do the hard graft, he doesn't score tries and he is hopeless in defence. Just what exactly does he bring to the table. The incident towards the end where he ran on the 5th would be comical if it wasn't so depressing. Ok, many a player have run on the 5th without realising. But to then stand up look at his teammates and referee and still not understand that it was the 5th and then actually play the ball is frankly embarrassing. Either put the effort in Mike or clear off.

I thought we played really well in the second half and deerved to be in with our chance. Not sure about the timing and choice of interchanges though, Langley and Whitehead were pushing Hull back every carry they made and just as we were on our roll Macca pulls them both off, and then the man who was creating our sparks(Addy) was also pulled from the field not to return either which meant Heath back to 7 and Wagga to 9 causing us to lose our direction from dummy half

Some better performances though, Koppy had a decent game and bust some tackles.

If it wasn't for 3 lapses in concentration we would have had the game.

Also, we had a try disallowed when Rikki palmed it backwards, which I thought should have stood, and Kopzcak looked to have it down to me.

They deserved clapping off for their efforts in the 2nd half, but I just hope whoever the new coach is he can get them to perform for 80 minutes.

We deserved to win that one imo, but if you lose concentration for a second then any decent team will exploit it like Hull did today.

Macca's sub choices have to be criticized today though. We were drawing, had the momentum, everybody playing well and working hard, we were playing the best rugby we've done for weeks then he makes about 5 substitutions in a row and we lose that momentum.

Also, if Tickle wasn't such a time-wasting ba$tard then we'd have had a couple more plays to get over at the end.


Good away support from Hull aswell.

His second stint was bad, but in the 1st 20 minutes he was everywhere in defence and I don't know how you could call that lazy.

Taling of scapegoats though, it was great to hear the loudmouth woman behind me shut up when Sheriffe found the gap for Whitehead. She had just nearly finished saying "Fsking hell Rikki run forw......"

Decent 2nd half but it just isn't enough I'm afraid. We have some real heroes in our team, but unfortunately with have a couple of passengers who just do not pull their weight.

And Halley didn't play today.

Lynch was knackered too, you could see when he didn't have the energy to get to the tackle on Tansey and he ran 60 yards up the field and passed it to Hall for the winner.

He was nowhere in defence when he let Tansey run past him on our 20m line for the winning try. Yes, he ran back 70m to try and make a last ditch effort, he should never have got past him in the 1st place. And a second rower should be making the hard yards, he just doesn't pull his weight I'm afraid.

I think I'll cry if we give him a new deal. I doubt we'd be that daft though.

And now we're in ninth.


I bet the RFL are loving their appointment now.

He's the type of player who could definitely improve under a new coach, but i still wouldn't want him near a new deal.

Thats a bit harsh,Danny likes to get into his mind zone.

If he has some heart and a bit of aggression that I might agree. But I have lost count how many times I've counted him stood next to Nero whilst we struggle to get out our own half. He is FORWARD, he should be taking us FORWARD! I think we saw today that people like Whitehead and Addy are the future, that is the sort of commitment and work ethic I pay to see.

It is ridiculous though.


Sykes can be bad at times, but Ticle must be the worst in the league.


For one of the kicks in the 1st half it took him 1:36, and 42 of those seconds went before Smith decided to stop the clock.

To be fair,stopping the clock should be standard.

I totally agree.

Addy is a very skilful player, he slotted in really well and had some good footwork for his try.

I don't see why the genius that is McNamara put Whitehead on the bench, but after comparing his performance and Worrincy's he'll surely be starting Elliott next week?

It should be done straight away imo. 42 extra seconds could have seen us go over the line in that second half.

Why? He's supposed to get a minute before the clock is stopped, seems to me you owe him 18 seconds

You haven't read the rules then?

There is no mention of your made up "1 minute rule".

Wasting time : If a player wastes time when kicking at goal, the Referee may
caution him or, in an extreme case, dismiss him. He should
not cancel the kick but should allow extra time to compensate
for time lost.

There is no disputing whether Tickle wasted time at a fair few goal kicks today.

Two teams with half backs missing, we had both of ours missing so was never going to be a classic. Ultimately the better team won, we've just got to scape these wins while Horney/Longy and our two best forwards are out.

Did you go to the Cas/Hudds game? Or the Rovers/Wakey game? You can't have been at Odsal.

Well we seem to have nicely found reverse gear, should be plummeting well over the next few games if we keep playing like that!
I've got to say Worrincy should never pull a Bulls shirt on while there are people in the crowd that it will fit. Made one decent break but countless mistakes. The break by Tansey which was covered by Sherrife until Woriincy tripped him up was typical. Sherrife was having a right go at him. Most of the time he looks lost. Interesting that the game turned around for us when he went off and Addy came on and his trip on Sherrife was a gamebreaker. How is he keeping anybody out of the 17 is a mystery.
On a positive note the young lads as always looked good, Koppy, Addy, Whitehead and Platt all went well. Lynchy did his usual Superman as did Langers. Time for Macca to be honest himself and some of his players. Might as well give the other Fringe Platers their turn, Worrincy, Reardon and one or two others have had more than their fair share of chances to prove themselves and failed miserably. What's the worse that could happen? We lose more?
New Coach needed urgently, if none is avaiable I suggest my Wife takes over until the end of the season. We couldn't play worse and Players would face the rounds of the Kitchen literally after poor performances!
