The body language of the players at the end of game was a real concern. Utterly dejected.

That would imply they are bothered.

4 points shy of shipping yet another half century, in our must-win game of the season, against one of the poorest oppositions we will face. Tells you all you want to know about the attitude of some of this team.

Re Cummins - I won't repeat stuff about how he's earned plenty of credit etc but why is he even still here? His words:

It was a horror start

.
Wel, quite. In the one game we should have been fired up to hell to eat Salford alive, at any cost

Defensively we were pathetic

.
We were. and the thing is Franny it is our normal standard. Which you coach.

We were not even doing the basics.

No, we weren't. We rarely even do the basics. You btw are responsible for making sure we at least do the basics.

"Salford .. were going through untouched through the middle and that's poor"

You noticed? Franny - EVERY FSCKER goes through our middle untouched. And down our flanks untouched. This is why when we play they have to negotiate double time for the scoreboard operators and get the scoreboards serviced. Our untouched middle is the main reason we ship 50 or so every week. Btw you are responsible for the middle.

"Right from the start we had some people who were way off the pace.

Yes, we did. We always do. You keep confirming. The question could be, WHY can you almost never get them all on the pace?

"We had some people who were way well below any kind of standard for Super League today."

But on the bright side, they've ensured that that won't be a problem next year.

I am not getting at Cummins, I actually have come to quite respect the guy but after that performance in THAT match, if it was me I can guarantee I would have fallen on my sword. When you play so shiite that even the ref can't stand any more and leaves before the end, you should take a hint.


*Btw hope you're OK George

The players know the basics. There is not a coach anywhere in rugby league that would be able to do anything about the situation at Bradford Bulls. The players heads and hearts are gone, that's nothing to do with the coach.

To a point, i can understand that. However if players aren't playing for the jersey, then Cummins needs to show the nuts to drop them and play the academy lads. He needs to demand more from the players. Motivate them, get some fire in their bellies. Also playing players in right position might help us ever so slightly.

Support your team, through thick and thin, or dont bother at all

Let's see if you maintain that attitude should your club go through the sh!tstorm that Bradford have endured over the last few years

I'm sure Starbug could of endured a few of them yrs your talking about, super league has turned its back on clubs like Leigh to fester in the championship and now the like of them Fev, Fax, sheffield, Donny, Batley and Dewsbury are getting prepared for the onslaught, once these league join there will be a few crapping them selves as we will

Because we aren't supporting them how, exactly?


PS How does sport work? I've often wondered that.
