Bradford are gonna have a really tough season this year, people keep banging on that wigan have no leadership, im sorry but bradford dont have a leader, no playmaker or a clue what to do in attack. think that they havnt got bird is a massive loss but i feel dare i say it they may not make the 8

Agreed. Very disapointed with them.

McNamara wont hang on to the job much longer, unless they cant afford to pay him off.

Utterly awful.

Team of super league cast offs these days, Platt, Worrincey, Jeffries, etc etc.... all ok but they just dont strike fear into me.

Said exactly the same to me dad at the game tonight they just keep bringing mediocre players in

when all fit their pack should be pretty decent but they really lack a 6 & 7. Deacs was appalling tonight.

They were made to look bad by us, our defence was brilliant.
Our attack was unstopable at times.

They were not superb though really.

Despite thier injury crisis, Bradford were very very poor. I honestly thought at times Wigan were playing an amateur side.

McNamara had better pick his team up, else he'll find himself on the growing doll que.

It's not just lack of form as a team they seem clueless, each year we see the Bulls decline as a team. Macca has a very hard job this season.

If he keeps it.

similar things have been said about wakefield. maybe it shows the difference between mcnamara and kear.


bradford looked very poor but i think we contributed heavily to that.

I think Bradford were made to look much worse than they actually are by an excellent Wigan performance.

Clearly a declining force, but they will still cause problems for a lot of other teams in SL.

Kear is a motivator, may not have the most exciting gameplan but the way he motivates his side makes the Wakefield performance a thrilling spectacle.

Mcnamare's Bradford side tonight lacked passion, enthusiasm and direction right from the kick-off. I thought Menzies, besides his defensive errors, played OK for them tonight, he was the only one who was trying IMO.

This is why I'm not getting carried away with our performance tonight. As good as we were, Bradford were shocking. Apart from their tries they didn't threaten at all.

The worst Bradford side since they lost the Northern tag by a good way.

you must be able to see the irony in this post?!

Why, under his control they have never looked close to being "in the mix"? Now youre going out of your way to "bag Nobby"

Not at all, but does he not deserve the same treatment as our own coach in your eyes? If they smash there next opponents playing some great rugby does he suddenly become a great coach and unsackable?

No. Because he has never looked like being able to take Bradford to "the dance".

So its not the same at all, is it.

How has Noble managed to look capable of "taking us to the dance", realistically he has not, and when we have got to the enterance of this dance, we have been firmly sent packing by the door staff.

A cup semi final (that we lost thanks to Maurice & Dave)
2 Final Eliminators. last year, we had the chances but were left with a bit much to do.
Two third place finishes makes us much more successful than Bradford, hence the difference.

How do you blame the Cats loss on Maurice and Dave and do you credit them with getting us there in the first place?

We are not more successfull than Bradford, you have to have success to be successfull, what we have done is consistently perform worse than them but finish higher in the table.

I think both Noble and McNammara should be judged at the end of there time at the clubs they coach, but lets not each have our own opinions on them.

I would say McNammara is now in the position Noble was last week, as i said earlier if his players react and they smash there next opponents will he suddenly become some sort of guru?

2 C/cup finals...1 win and 1 defeat.
1 G/F appearance and defeat
1 Play off defeat to you.
All in 4 years

Does that make us more successful than Bradford and you?

Exactly. How can a team be successful without actually winning anything?

Blows the "big 4" myth out of the water as well......when was the last time both won owt or appeared in a final.

Not having a pop at you lot mate...just think its a good point.
