Me club am still plenty big Paleface.

Typiocal glory hunting Bulls fans what you neecd to wake up to is apart from the odd game you are not as good as you were, not nice but thats a a fact accept it and deal with it it.

Mcnamara not the best coach but you have players who get a good wage and if some are seen as not trying then simply drop them its not rocket science.

Accept and deal with the fact.

Totally methinks something going on behind the scenes of our club too or maybe its a psychological problem alot of our players went missing today.

I was worried before the game started that we'd have our work cut our if it rained. In bad conditions Celtic are a match for anyone as they proved versus Saints.

Celtic were well disciplined, they had a simple game plan and stuck to it. They took all their chances too. They deserved the win, no doubt about it.

Our lot looked lethargic in the first half, we seemed lost for ideas when we got on their line in the first half and never really sustained any pressure. As a result we struggled for points. We really need to try to be a bit more creative, simply passing along the line or trying to simply drive through a defender isn't going to score us many points - it was rather like watching us early in the season.

In the second half I thought the attacking play improved, we seemed to discover the inside ball option. Trouble was we were let down by poor defending and too many mistakes. Sure the ref was very average but it was the same for both sides. Yet again we were chasing the game and it seemed that once we were a lot more urgency appeared, where was this in the first half??

As time wears on I can see us missing out on the playoffs.

sorry dad

Would it matter if we did?

I'm not totally familiar with the new play off system but I would assume that we would still need to win 3 on the trot to get anywhere near OT.

There's already a thread for taking the pi55 so any trolling on here will be deleted.

We've no chance of getting to OT but finishing in the 8 makes the club a more attractive prospect to sponsors, players, fans etc.

Finishing outside the 8 would represent failure IMO.

I think it's already happened. By the way tremendous skills on show.

Better than the match itself...

I disagree it's already a disappointment we were good enough for a top 4 finish and that went ages ago.

That wasn't hard was it.

Well as you know I thought 4th or 5th was the best we could hope for. As you say that's gone.

Er...no.

It's now 10 wins from our last 27 games which would have been relegation form.

Not trolling guys just want to ask if BJ had one of his can't be d days that us at Trin saw in numerous games for us?

Pretty much but he wasn't alone today.

Bulls didn't look up for it today and only started playing in the last 20mins, by which time it was too late.

I was impressed with Matty Smith and I think his kicking was the difference. Too many times Deacs just kicked it to their players.

I hope we get a response from the team in the next game.

Let me guess - every pass was FORRRRRWWWAAARRRDDDDD

He wasn't our worst performer by any means...

i have to say that I wasn't a big fan of BJ for the fact that he can go missing during games,why? I've no idea but it must unsettle the players around him.

Cheers for answering btw

I thought BJ at least tried today. What is evident is he plays better when he's the key man which doesn't happen when Deacon plays because everything has to go through him.

That's the nature of super league this year.

Anyone can beat anyone.

Bulls beat saints so we know how you feel.

Deacon's looking increasingly past it though he did take a couple of heavy knocks today which didn't help. Obviously clubs know that if they taregt him we lose our direction.

Deacon was never the quickest but as he gets slower he'll be easier to target. We need a new halfback for next season, no doubt at all.
