I don't recall Shaggoth ever saying 8th was top half.

That's setting yourself up for a fall.

Lost a few quid on Bratford this season. I guess I was swayed by your previous achievments. The sad fact for you lot now is that everyone believs that they will beat you. I believe that my team is capable of beating the top two on any given day but i dont expect it to happen, whereas with Bradford not only do i believe we can beat you i think that we will beat you. You remind me of an old heavyweight contender that is now a journeyman giving the prospects a good test but ultimately losing.

Hey, Balboa ended up winning again, so that'll do

Genuine question. Do Bradford fans really honestly believe that the team is still capable of beating anyone on it's day?

IMHO I feel Bradford are behind the likes of Cas, both Hulls and possibly even Harlequins these days.

The backs are not just average, they are poor.

Dont get me wrong though, I love watching a good Bradford team play Leeds. It is far more entertaining.

The fans HAVE to believe that they are good enough to beat ANY team that they face, otherwise what is the point?

That said, belief does not win games, I know I am a Halifax fan who went to EVERY game in our last season in Superleague and only saw one win (London Bronco's in our first game of the season) only to have those two points taken off of us.

Something needs to change, but I dont have the answers, just observations.

They tore a few holes in Cas yesterday, so what does that make their defence?

But they still lost. Its all about consistency. Tearing holes every odd game and still losing does not make them above average.

Can I just stress I am not on here to make trouble. I would love a good one point game with Bradford, some of the best games I have watched in Super League have been close Leeds-Bradford games.

I do feel at the moment though that Bradford are a mid table team.

Ok....

So by that rationale, a world class player, who destroyed the defence everytime he touched the ball, yet lost because he was in an average team, is a below average player?

Nonsense.

Some of our back are not as good as others. Some are quality. None of them are rubbish. Same in most teams I should guess.

But your packs are a unit just as much as your pack.

I never mentioned individual players.

One or two world class forwards and some very poor forwards would not be a good pack in my opinion.

Same for the backs.

course you have a chance. if our game v saints is anything last the last one we will be battered and bruised. i think this affected our slow start last friday.
i thought the dragons played some good stuff for 20 minutes. they looked good with ball in hand and solid in defence. once we hit our straps and got a couple of scores they fell to pieces however.
i suggest we get our big games over this weekend before we look to far ahead mind you

The beer in Arcadia must be stronger than I realised. It was a dreadful game, Cats were dire.

Who are Cats? Wakefield?

Catalan Wildcats.

I believe we can win this one. Nero will score a last gasp try and Mystic Eddie will reappear on the message board apologising to McBanana and proclaiming him the Bulls saviour



But first I fear a loss to the French.

FA 1200 - William Hill 0

Did you all listen? I hope so!

I hope you did

Oh s[ihit[/i.

I'll get the matches

We might allow you to commute that commitment into the lesser embarrassment of walking round Leeds in a Bulls shirt? With attending paparazzi, of course. If you are interested, I understand Bullseye can give you some tips in that department?

Gotta love the topic title, yes is the answer.

It was against my will! Will I never live it down????
