Dewsbury away & where do we go from here - Bulls to win by 48 - 0 following a scintillating display of attacking rugby backed up by a tough & aggressive defence. Then unbeaten for the remaining games of the season.

And on Monday Jimmy is given a new 5 year contract due to the magnificent turn around in the teams fortunes.

Two pints of what he has been drinking works wonders.

Oh, where to begin?

I'm not sure what your first question is - if you mean in a future where we remain in division2, which is maybe the most likely, I'd guess we could get around 2k, for a reasonable team [ie middle to top] but obviously it's a guess and, I admit, we're in the land of who knows?

But as has been said in many debates the club cannot sustain a future at Odsal with crowds of 2K. Our gates in this league must be the largest and it is doubtful we are breaking even.

Thanks for the motivation. Been meaning to do this for a while.



The top ten most winningest sides of the winter era.

League games only, no play offs or cup competitions of any kind.

No Super League included at all, lest anyone think that unfairly skews the results our way. No lower divisions included at all, so time outside the top flight is thrown away as irrelevant. Bradford, who spent TWO seasons outside the top flight (one in the early sixties and one in the early seventies) are the team in that top five to have that happen to them the most.

I got the data from the Wikipedia season summary pages.

(And I had to write a program to do it. They got most of it from a bloke called Jim Smith who ran a website called The RL Vault in the nineties, and he got it from me after I tore up my 1995 Rothman's Yearbook as a young(er) 'un to scan the data and OCR it - there's a moral about backups in there somewhere).

Love you man

Don't blame you. I'd do me too.

So predictable, you can almost set your watch by it. Still, at least he isn't particularly having a go at the fans this time.

Quite a U-Turn in the space of a week.

STEVE Ferres believes the Bulls will go into Sunday’s trip to Dewsbury as “underdogs”

To recap: the highly paid expert engaged to make sure we bought the best players we could, on the eve of a game at part-time Dewsbury, who it is known have hardly got 17 fit players and will be missing a host of their better players, believes that his crack squad of SL weres'n'wannabees are nevertheless "underdogs". Against Dewsbury part-time reserves and juniors.

Nice work, Steve.

You really couldn't write it. Ferres should just be kept away from media. Maybe then he'd have time to step his efforts to find a half a further notch
