Things started to go wrong when Noble left, back then Bradford had decent team, fresh of a Grand Final win and a World Club Challenge win. But then Fielden followed Noble to Wigan. You had one of the best winger/centre partnerships in Hape/Vainikolo. but they let Vainikolo go to make way for Tupou, and a year later, Hape went. Tupou is a good player, not as good as Vainikolo.
Also gone Gene, Ferres, Withers, Henderson, Bai and Pryce (both), all good players, that never got replaced with equally good players.

Ok nothing the club could have done about Bai who suddenly decided to retire and Henderson who wanted to go back to Australia.

Tupou was a replacement, we didn't "make way" for him.

sack him and do us a favour and take noble back!!! We'd both be happy then!

Yup, atm I'd have Noble over Macca.

If I remember, Vainikolo was let go to make way to free up salary cap space for Tupou.

Given the choice of Tupou or Vainikolo. Big Les anyday for me.

That is a horrible image!!

Maybe you're correct, but I thought it was the other way round. Most peopl would have Big Les anyday.

Vainikolo was let go so he could go to rugby union. Tupou was a bit of a rushed replacement who IMO was badly let down by the coaches here.

Les was on his way to rugby union, and Tupou was brought in as his replacement, he was not shipped out to free up cap space, as they were both at the club at the same time.

I heard tonight from a couple of radio commentators after the game, that they believe a Mr Robbie Paul could be on his way back to the bulls in some sort of coaching capacity.

From the same people, Ian Millwards agents are in the country next week as is Graeme Murrary.

Not sure how accurate the commentators are but I thought I'd share.

Were you at the game.

I was.. the chat came after they'd gone off air..

We will need a miracle to sort this shamble of a team out, hope something comes out of it because i am really losing my patience quickly.

I hope so.

Did you see the shell shocked faces on the staff in the coaches box.

Indeed, I don't think they appreciated the amount of abuse they received during the game regarding backing the current coach etc..

Well what do they expect. Believe me i have never booed my team and i never will. But when people are paying money out to watch that crap what do kind of reception are they expecting a round of applauds ?

We produced quite an embarrassing game tonight, which led to the 'McNamara Out' campaign to resurface once again....


Wire on the other hand have done exactly the opposite, does this mean by one 'Great win' that Wire are now a team on their way to Old Trafford and because of this great win they are not to be known as a bottom league club again ?

Had this game gone the opposite direction, would everything suddenly look a bed of roses for the Bulls ?

I couldn't care less about any other teams form or performance, the sole one which delights and dissapoints me is my own team.

You are af and I claim my five pounds.

TBH i couldn't give a flying f about any other club. It's my club that is knee deep in $hit and sinking fast.

Well the same thing happened last week and many people went far too OTT to assume this was Bradford back in business. Not many realised that Leeds are actually playing a bit lately and in hindsight the result wasn't that big of a shock.

If today wasn't proof McNarama needs to go i don't know what is.

Fucking fed up of seeing his mug on the RA&B banner.

I tell you what, I'm tired of the same posters saying we should get behind Mac "i couldn't coach anything" Namara

I wish you could prove me wrong

bump

I think he should walk
