didnt he say similar when took over about bringing reinforcements in to try and stay in SL. Since then we've seen Fakir and a raft of loan players who go back to their parent clubs as soon as they get match fit. Meanwhile Green hides behind comments about players not wanting to sign for a club in a relegation position, despite Salford and wakefield both managing to bring players in whilst in same situation.

Green made a comment when he too over that he wasnt a talker and we should judge him on his actions. So far pretty much all he's done is talk. Hopefully we do have players lined up but not announced until relegation is confirmed, but until we atart announcing players I'm still nervous about Greens long term plans.

Well yes, I agree to a point, but he is new to the game, our club has been as good as down for a while so some players/club probably avoided us. This off-season is when he can make good on the talk, I haven't got the energy anymore to be too cynical about Mr Green (or the bulls/rfl/others for that mater), its easier to just hope for the best and wait for this season to end. Hopefully my passion for the club and sport will be rekindled next year, but for the moment I'll be turning up on Sunday and the rest of the season out of duty, not enjoyment, the constant negativity and cr@p over the last few years has worn me down.

Can't argue with any of that Duckman. Sadly we are probably a small number out of many who feel utterly drained following the soap opera that is Bradford Bulls.

Not a lot of enjoyment to be had turning up to watch the Bulls recently.

true, but hopefully a win will feel quite sweet if/when it does arrive, and we have the potential to rebuild well - it just feels a long way off at the mo. Ironically, whilst there are some Bradford fans in Bradford who wont be going to Odsal on Sun, due to a long standing arrangement Im bringing a non Bulls supporting sports fan to the match from my work in York on Sun so I'm doing my bit to boost the attendance....by 1 at least just hope we can keep in the game for longer than normal!!

Couldn't we go to Whitby instead? Prefer it there

Lowes said his search for new recruits for next season was continuing behind the scenes, with the Bulls effectively offering their targets a deal in the event of survival and relegation.
He explained: “You can only let them know what’s on the table with a Plan A or a Plan B and then the players have got to make a decision based on that.

“It’s a challenge for the club but it’s not going to be easy.

TBF at least the depths we have to date managed to plumb now means any player we talk to knows 100% that any talk of "Plan A" is academic. Maybe that will make the convos easier.

Not been on here for a while but looking at the comments of some referring to the Championship. Is it possible that rather than firefighting to stay in SL that we can now build a team for next year, Get an half decent team together have a season that bloods young lads and build there confidence over next season in a less stressful environment...coming back into SL in the right shape for it. Leon Price commented that he would be in the Bradford shirt if we would still be in SL. Frankly at his age he has missed an opportunity.

Invoke the power of our beloved Richard III and tell those lancy red rose gits that we can't be having Manchester and Blackpool as the venues. I won't accept any venue further west than Huddersfield. The dirty usurping Tudor scum!

Re: Next Season : Fri Jul 04, 2014 3:14 pm  

Speaking of next season, at what round will we enter the Challenge Cup? We'll certainly be the one every team is praying for!

That's exactly the kind of spiritual benevolence that makes Championship Rugby League real Rugby League. You won't get that in Super Dooper League.
