You cant do that. Players respond better to peace and love and a nice little chat over a cup of tea. Shouting and balling and criticisng poor play and performances never works. Ever

I am not having a go here just asking a question. Have you played rugby before? I have been on the end of some hidings. A nice chat to each INDIVIDUAL at the start of the game yes that works. However when it comes to being hammered and playing crap thats when bollockings work, it does for my team and we usually start performing then. Saying that though my team consists of 16 year olds who arn't getting paid and who actually have pride and passion for the shirt they are wearing and also the passion for the game.

Ive only played a little bit of rugby in my time.
I was taking the Michael by the way, Potter should frikin hammer them this week because the nicey nicey approach doesnt work. Period.

i thought mcnamara was the problem and things would be better under a new coach?
did i hear right it was the first time salford had posted 50 points in super league?
unlucky bulls!

Ah sorry I didn't detect the sarcasm, yup he should give them the bollocking of a lifetime

where was royston and the great ian sibbit for you lot today? although we did rip you to shreds,you did help us along the way with some comical ball handling skills,fair play to your support who came over for your last visit to the willows too!

Royston = Paternaty Leave
Sibbit = If he was on it would have been at least 60 that you lot got!!

As a neutral, may I say that the game was saved as a spectacle by Salford.
Bradford were truly awful.

I cant believe these guys have played rugby all their lives and actually get paid for it.
They play with no passion or desire and have done for too long.
Potter IMO appeared to take the loss too easily and for me that hurts.
Gone are the good times and I for one am finding it extremely difficult to accept the Bradford I see today.
When was the last time we thrashed somebody?

I really hope both teams provide something to watch for a change next week.......here's hoping.

Last time we thrashed somebody was 40-4 agaisnt Hull KR at Home in 2010

Well thrashed by playing decent rugby !!!

There’s been a bit of Briggs bashing (along with the other 16) and I can understand why after the performance, but I have watched him for a while and am 100% sure that he has the skills to be a quality super league player, which imo means his mindset was clearly not right today. And I personally don’t think any of the lads today were mentally prepared properly for this game there were a lot of hanging heads, no belief, no desire and no passion.

I don’t know much about the bulls set up but I do know the whinos and a few other clubs invest heavily in sports psychology and I wonder if this is something we need to look to invest more time and money in?

Yes you got Sibbit we got Godwin think we got the better deal.

I agree, with the strong carrying, brick wall human being that is Ian Sibbit, you would have taken a bigger beating than today. Definitely wouldn't swap back!! Don't understand why you brought in Diskin when you had Godwin.

Oh my word Royston is not on paternity leave! What a joke!!' he was at the game as was his family, he was just left out- a bad mistake IMO

You do know what paternity leave is don't you? You are off to spend time with your family. Kind of like what you just described really...

. True, but it doesn't usually involve going to work at the same time

. Seriously, Disgraceful last night against what I believe is an average side in Salford..Also wasn't impressed with Mr Potters post match interview on Sky, its not funny Mick!!!

McNamara redux. In fact, worse. Where's the next win going to come from?

I think the fans that travelled over should be offered some compensation for their time. It's 80 minutes of life none of us will get back.

Shoddier than a Scouser's tache.

Because Diskin is a better hooker, not that difficult to understand in all honesty.

Its OK saying Potter has given out a load of one year deals to see who is worth keeping but at this moment and lot will be gone and then what do we do?

Give out another load of 1 year deals next year and see same again happen??

Which ever way you look at it the whole team was appalling, i bet Langley wished he had never commented on booing fans after that performance!!

If LSH is the defensive coach he wants is Backside kicking we have been poor all season in this area and we are still not improving.
There are more than a few players there that should realise they will be gone at the end of the season if they don’t get a grip,

MP has admitted he was partly to blame lets hope this is the turning point for us and not let it happen again this season.
COOOOM ON you BULLS

Quite a few of those 1 year deals were to plug the gaps for a season because the squad needed major work. That scale of recruitment was always going to take longer than one off season. Planning for next year is no doubt underway already, I just hope we have some real top quality additions to bring into the club to take the club forward another few steps.

We could do with a signing or two now but unless they're of the right calibre it's pointless wasting the cap space. The centres are a major worry right now, both missed far too many tackles yesterday.

You clearly don't!
Paternity leave with the family to watch the game!!!! Ahahahaha you joker. Shad was out of favour this week like Sibbitt, why spread crap about paternity leave!

Any news on the Tom Burgess injury?

We were poor today and again looked like we had nothing in attack and an inability to tackle. Unfortunately even when we've won this season we've not looked great. I keep telling myself that it's pretty much a new team and that it taks time for them to gel, but there comes a point when it starts to sound a bit hollow. I appreciate that there have been a lot of injuries but you'd expect some cohesion.

To be fair to Salford, they grew in confidence as the game, threw the ball out wide and went on to gave us a spanking.

To be honest, I don't think giving the players a rollicking will work. As the Sky Monkeys were more than happy to point out, the players on the bench looked shellshocked. The last thing we need is destroy their confidence any further.

Is one possible excuse that maybe the players had one eye against next weeks game? It's got to effect them if the club are pushing to make it the biggest game of the season.
