Be interesting to see the wages of these two and how much more Hampshire and his agent are pushing for.
It’s apparent to all Hampshire’s got another year or two of building before he starts warranting the wages escare can command.

so I suppose we can’t get any worse than this , a week off may see a few of the injured return, I don’t expect to get anything from this maybe at least score a try but that’s as high as my expectations are going

I really don’t know why but that inexplicable ray of hope has started to flicker
...only 2 teams in it...we were favourites last year and blew it...they are only human (after all)...

Whilst I've some respect for what Carter has done at Wakey I don't like, or trust, Hudgell one bit and certainly wouldn't want him anywhere near the Bulls. For the RFL to invite them to Odsal seems weird and quite counterintuitive to anything which could possibly help the club so what, I wonder, was their motive?

Funnily I still think of the golden point when you beat us. I don't think many of us realised how important that was at the time.

After that everything else looks after itself just by having won the final.

1. Jamie Shaul - For me, this is one of the biggest issues with our attacking structure. Every game, the ball is passed out the back to Shaul, and he stops, comes back inside, running behind his own men and then has to take the tackle. Читать дальше...

There's not much point comparing players from different eras except in how dominant they were/are. Brian Bevan would be hopeless today. Offiah would be a different player now as would Makinson if he played in the 80s.

Offiah at his peak was light years ahead of any British wingers at the same time. Makinson is nowhere near as dominant.

I doubt this guy has been signed as anything more than a replacement for pat moran or in preparation for reserve grade! If he goes well then great, Cooper and Hill won't be around forever. We still need a big first team prop as well.

Bradford don't have a loan from the RFL now. When the RFL bought the lease they subtracted the loan from the selling price of the lease so the loan was repaid years ago.

With respect to the administrator, the lease was sold about 2 months before admin 1, in fact selling the lease was the final straw that made admin 1 inevitable. The lease was an asset which helped secure a bank overdraft. When we didn't own the lease anymore, the bank called in the overdraft resulting in Our chairman making his public appeal for £500k...

Who knows? Chalmers isn't in the country so I guess everything is on hold.

Probably has something to do with the underhand way the RFL acquired the lease, by snatching it before the administrator was called in years ago for a clandestine loan they made to Bradford without informing any other member clubs. The RFL are trying to recoup the (loan) by charging a high rent and passing all the maintenance costs onto the tenant which are astronomical on an ancient stadium..

I was convinced we'd win our first 3 cc final's because we had the pack to make gain and the headstrong half's to win it...

In our last 2 loses I was full of doubt..we had a pack to compete but we were controlled by Roberts who just lacked the stuff all season and Sandow who had enough stuff to last Soho all season...

But now we are once again managed by a head strong professional in Austin and surrounded with Clark and Ratchford have a winning recipe again. Читать дальше...

I think the bulls have got the season tickets right for this coming year. A forced move which isn’t going to be to everyone’s liking but most will understand it. To balance that they have pitched the season tickets slightly cheaper to reflect but not too cheap.

Dewsbury is actually closer for me but it will never be home for the bulls. We could actually do with a very similar stadium to dewsbury got plonked over the room on Richard Dunn’s.

Aim number one should be to forget about an immediate return to super league. Читать дальше...

Item from an article in today’s LE.
LE. If the Council and the RFL sell Odsal for an alternative development, will the Bulls receive any of the funds, either directly or in the form of a contribution to the cost of a new Stadium.
AC. No the RFLand the Bradford Council will benefit from any sale proceeds. I am aware that a consortium involving the owners of Huddersfield,Hull KR and Wakefield have undertaken due diligence on acquiring the site after receiving an open invitation from the RFL a few months ago...

Read a snapshot of Chalmers Q&A in LE, says playing budget will be more or less equal to 2019s.

Why would want a player that throws his toys out of the pram if he doesn’t get what he wants? Him an Mclleland for the future sounds bright if it happened!
The Gale rumour can’t be far off anyway because Cas are hunting a first class half. Either he is shot or he is going!

Escare was decent, a real live wire but I don't think he offers much more than Rocky in all honesty. Both have the ability to create something from nothing, the only difference Sunday was that we didn't keep trying the same old full back round the back play which hasn't been working. I think Rocky would have scored the second break that escare made when Hall somehow caught him, maybe it was a confidence/lack of game time thing but think he could have stepped/gone for the corner and he seemed to do neither.

Whilst I wouldn't be surprised if Agar got the gig for next year, if we can't get a top coach I have a couple of issues with him.

Firstly the lightweight bench is dumb. As dumb as BM not using a sub.

Second, whilst he's not alone in this as a coach, I think he's overly conservative. Against Hull he had a golden chance to give McClelland a game, and its noticeable that he's not picked our two youngest forwards in Oledzki and Smith.

Next year has to be about bringing kids on. Читать дальше...

All games are a mix of how your own team plays and how well the opposition play. By all accounts, Hull KR were woeful. We weren't. Had we been woeful too, we might have let KR back into it. Had KR played well it would have been a tight and close game. It's always a mix of the two, and it is not slating the winners to say that the losers were poor. KR had a bad day and we were good enough to exploit it. And in a fortnight, no matter how well we play, we'll be wanting Wigan to have an off day.
