WTF happened at the end? How come the Bulls did not come over to the fans? Way to go!

Robbie posted something on twitter about it was so they could let Wakefield celebrate. Not sure I buy that - extremely poor form and even if it's true why would the Bulls fans want to stick around though Wakey celebrating. I just wanted to clap the team off and get home as quickly as possible

Yet another show of pathetic petulance from James Lowes. Covering himself and his beloved club in more sh*t.

The simple facts are that neither of the sides today are worthy of a place in Super League and The Bulls are better served by building for a return over a few seasons.

Wakefield are worthy of a place in Super League as they have earned the right to stay up. I wasn't aware of a performance measurement that needed to be passed? No side gaining promotion from any division would instantly be able to compete. It's a building process. Had the Bulls gained promotion then their salary cap would have doubled allowing them to build. If championship teams have to be as good as leeds and wigan to get promoted then we might as well scrap everything other than super league now.

Can't believe I'm having to explain this. This is what it must feel like for nursery school teachers having to explain the obvious.

Edit: Yes, Jimmy acted like a tool and embarrassed himself and the club. I am happy to have him replaced for it.

What did Lowes say?

Re: The Game : Sat Oct 03, 2015 5:41 pm  

He blamed the ref for poor decisions with strong wording. He also blames the system. Just about everything in a very strong manner.

My reply to him is we signed 32 players. The whole team has played SL or higher level. They have played cr*p all year and he is the coach - for now.
Didn't Wakey sack two player for bringing the club into contempt - or whatever the phrase is?
Mr Green, hasn't Jimmy just done that on national TV?
Lets get Glen from Dewsbury and get some fire in their bellies.

Basically slagged the ref off (unjustly) and then slagged the whole qualifying competition off (some truth but mainly emotions having to watch what his players have had to go through this week). http://rugbyleaguehub.com/2015/10/04/vi ... er-league/

Morrison would be a good call. Lowes is a poor coach for you lot will only go backwards with hm in charge

Re: The Game : Sat Oct 03, 2015 6:01 pm  

Head said we'd pull up just short of a victory and unfortunately that is how it turned out. I thought their pack would probably be the difference and I think that was also true today. For all their hard work and endeavour neither Sidlow or Clough really punched through the Wakefield defence. Ferguson was once again our most effective forward and caused Wakefield some problems.

Disappointed yes, but we all knew that everything is stacked in favour of SL clubs and it will take a very special effort for a Championship club to get up under the current rules. I think today was probably the best chance of a Championship club doing it against a very ordinary side by SL standard. Sadly we weren't good enough, definitely an opportunity wasted that I can't see being as good next year even if we make it back into the £1M game.

See Lowes is gobbing off about losing star players now, cutting costs and maybe going PT. Is this true Marc Green, if not you might want to have a word with your head coach. Disappointed with Lowes conduct today with the media, we need more composure from the coach.

Many fans have said this all season but we had hope that the squad at his desposal might have seen him through. Not many fans have agreed with his tactics or his petulant manner.

Re: The Game : Sat Oct 03, 2015 6:29 pm  

Jimmy Lowes is absolutely right to criticise the system. We all knew the rules of the competition but many also knew that there is an inbuilt disadvantage to Championship sides. It's not just the financial imbalance in terms of both salary and funding. That is not sour grapes from me-, Wakefield deserved to win
jimmy is absolutely wrong to blame the referee .Silverwood in fact was criticised by Cummings for " breaking protocol" when he obviously consulted the video officials in the incident which led to the missed Addy penalty. That was after the assistant seemed to say he'd seen nothing wrong. I thought Silverwood kept control very well .And when Lowes sees the replays of the 2 disallowed tries he will see the video refs gave the right decision.
Those that watch the recording might want to test their lip reading ability when it cuts to the Wakefield chairman celebrating a try.

Gutted you lost would have been great to have you back. With hudds and cas decent leeds would have had a ''big game'' to look forward to nearly every week.
