The players were awful today,the exceptions being Fleming who played with heart and O'brien who was often the first man in. The defense was none existent and they didn't deserve to be clapped off in the end.

Brainless rugby played by individuals rather than a team.

Sheffield weren't particularly very good. We were that bad! !

Something needs to change as these players are playing like shadows of their former selves.

There's no passion, no ideas and no structure. Even at 12 - 12 the Bulls players looked knackered and despondent. We're a shadow of the team we were last year even!

Whilst I haven't booed I don't have a problem with anyone that does. Like FA says, there is one easy way to stop the booing, play better and recruit properly.

If any player who is in a team that is playing badly really gets upset by a negative fan response to the point where it negatively effects his contribution as a full time professional - then I suggest he should not be a full time professional sportsman.

Are we just supposed to blindly accept below par recruitment and performance? I don't think so. The playing staff and the people responsible for recruitment have it in their own power to change things, so just do it and stop bleating, then you'll get the backing you deserve.

Bull Mania makes a very good point above, of all rugby league clubs in this country we have been through more than most in the past few years and the fans have turned up home and away in good numbers and supported throughout, to question my (our) loyalty as being negative like ferres has done when its not us missing tackles and falling to recruit correctly in key positions, just really, really p!sses me off.

I was here long before him and the current players, and I'll (hopefully) be here long after him and the current players, so I'll damn well call it as I see it about my club. And at the moment its not good enough.

Well said.

There's no good way with that sort of clap.
