What are the odds of Wigan sacking Noble and losing against us having still not won a game?

"we beat the beaver"

Won't happen Wigan will probably lose this weekend and then with the pressure really on Noble hit form a week on Friday.

Bradford will then go into the Hull match with as much pressure on Macnamara and start a long unbeaten run including a win agains tthe Rhinos at Easter.

If this club is serious about competing then defeat against Huddersfield should see McNamara gone.

Noble, Lowes & Banana all out by Easter.

That would be an awful shame.

However, I await your backlash.

So much for the Bradford school of coaching then? Throw in MacDermott by the end of the year when Quins finish outside the top 8 and that's the full set.

Shudders are playing really well at the moment.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do win, though I'd obviously like us to give out an old fashioned hammering

. . . yeah, I know . . . .dream on



I suspect it's going to either a close win or an thumping loss for us . . . . . .

Indeed. Bradford are a disgrace.

After two games after a fragmented start to the season? I think that would be harsh!

....and Asim's backlash begins.



BTW - two games?????

Dropping 3 out of 4 points against mid-table/lower clubs at home would be unacceptable, and clear evidence that problems that have been mounting over the last couple of years have not been addressed.

I'd be extremely surprised if we ever sack McDermott.

I fancy a Bradford win by 30-12. I don't understand all the pessimism after just one match which we dominated against decent opposition!

30 - 6 bradford win

watched you against hkr, watched hudds against cas. i'd say 18-12 to hudders.

Where have you been for the last couple of years?

Where have I been? Some of us have followed Bradford for a considerably long time and for years were happy just to see the club get to semi finals and perhaps win the odd away game. We turned out in all weathers to cheer them on and just playing the likes of wigan and st helens was appreciated without having to beat them. We all hoped we would but knew deep down it was unlikely. We were realistic and I think the newer post super league bulls fans have been conditioned into expecting too much success and they are the poorer for it!
It takes 14 teams to make up super league and no one team has a divine right to win it. Not too long ago leeds fans were bemoaning their lack of success but it is there turn now.
I am reasonably happy with what McNamara and his team are doing even though they came up a bit short last season and there were reasonable excuses for that.
I have more optimism for this season which hasn't been helped by the postponements and I think you should give this squad a chance to bed in and get some games under their belts before you start calling for the coaches head.
I bet you'd be a bundle of fun if you were a wire fan!

...and good for you. Reasonably happy? Clearly your standards are pretty low then.

BTW, I was not calling for the coaches head. Yet.

Nice one, that was the worst we've played so far out of the 2 major friendlies and 2 league games.

Anyway, Macca names squad

We satta see wot appens.

I don't think the Giants have had a better opportunity than Friday to beat us at Odsal.

With the fractured start to the season I think we will still be very rusty.

Bulls 12-18 Giants. Gulp.

That Whitehead looks a big youth, good to see him in the squad but him and Crookes to miss out?

is crossley injured? expected him to get call up before a 2nd rower tbh. Although suppose james and kopczak are guaranteed a place so we dont need a 2nd row spelling in props like langley was doing last week.

morrison at loose with menzies and cook in 2nd row and worrincy on bench for me.

Fridays game will be the first I have seen for over 10 years, last game I saw was against Halifax in 1998.
Sat in Denver Airport with a high temperature of 20C and sunny.
I will wave bye bye to the yellow thing in the sky for the time being.
