No way IMO.

He's finally had a chance to assemble a team of his own choosing, he'll be given time to see how things go.

Difficult one this. The Bulls are desperate now and they are in the spotlight on Sky. Question is do they have the ability to play significantly better? On paper they do but.....

50/50 this one for me. Wouldnt be surprised at any result. The bookies cant be giving anyone more than 4 surely?

Bradford by 20 or us by a couple.

I don't mind us getting beat, but I feel against Warrington we beat ourselves by letting Wire back into the game. We got to a point after a penalty when we couldn't decide whether to go on or take the two.... After that we lost our way, didn't complete the set and kind of lost our way and momentum.... We kind of seemed to get to the point where "bloody hell lads, we knocked the champions off last week and I think we're going to beat the CC champs this!.... panic.....!"

Being beat by a better side is no problem, happens to everyone sometime- but we just need to find that composure to win when we wobble, like Wire* and Hudds did and that makes the difference between bottom 6 and top 6* actually mean CC winners of course and predictions for this season....

In the words of someone cleverer than me "I hope it is a tight game and we just edge a thriller"

Chuffing hell nooooo.
What the hell are the RFL playing, thaler again

Re: Away to Bradford on Friday : Tue Feb 16, 2010 12:41 pm  

For me Alibert is the worse ref in SL. Not that that's an excuse if we get beat.

Re: Away to Bradford on Friday : Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:58 pm  

My opinion on referees is there aren't any better than others. They all seem to be as good/bad as each other.

Thaler, Ganson, Alibert, Smith, Bentham, Silverwood and Child?

I've heard bad things about them all.

I doubt it, our board will probably be happy to save a few quid and let him run us to the ground for this season.
