I didn't go and found that comment interesting that Charnock was temporary till the two halves arrive from Aus. It sounded like a definite rather than a wish for two halves. If it is two arriving there must be one leaving.

Timing would make sense in terms of waiting for visas, but take anything that comes out of Micks mouth with a massive pinch of salt.

Anyway else feel like slitting their wrists after listening to hobbos constant doom and gloom?

Priority has to be just scrapping our way into that 3rd or 4th spot so we make the middle 8's. Then it's a completely fresh start and I guess less expectation on our players than last year. Finishing out the top 4 doesn't bare thinking about from a financial perspective.

Didn't hear all the commentary as I was multi tasking preventing a toddler destroying the house but I'd take it with a pinch of salt if it was from BCB?

Thanks for listening. Hopefully your toddler didn't destroy too much.

Have to say living 120 miles from Odsal I very much appreciate BCB and imo the excellent commentary, please carry on Mick, Hobbo & team.

Assuming it was BCB's commentary you were listening to, are you not directly contradicting yourself there?

I never understand this "it sounded like....." analysis by people who didn't go to the game. You're not really giving your own opinion, as you are at the complete mercy of the commentators you listened to. You're essentially giving their opinion. Hence why your two statements above would be contradictory if it was BCB you were basing your first comment on.

I didn't attend today's game, therefore I don't feel I'm qualified to comment on the performance. However the scoreline is worrying on it's own.

I listened to the game on BCB. As much as I'll knock Mick for his rumours and insider knowledge, I won't knock him for commentary. I enjoyed it once again, just not so much for what was happening.

Comments on new lads performance are based on commentary over duration of the match. Pretty much every time they were mentioned it was positive, apart from Charnock knocking on a couple of times. No problem with commentary just don't trust/believe the insider scoops they come out with.

Thank you for the feedback and kind comments. We had over 4,000 people listening online and when you add the FM figures, we'll be looking at the 10,000 mark. Phenomenonal figures.

Just shows the power of the Bradford Bulls brand and more importantly the lapsed support still interested in the club.

Can I just say if people expect me and Mark to turn up and call these games from the best media facilities in the land then you're mistaken.

Today we were sat in the main stand amongst the most vociferous Workington Town supporters, balancing commentary equipment and notepads on knees.

The Charnock and players story is just repeating what Rohan Smith told me in the interview at Tong on Wednesday.

If you're joining me on Wednesday night at Oldham, you'll get Rohan Smith, Ethan Ryan and Mitch Clark.

P.S. Great to get Robbie Paul and Trevor Clark on today.

Glad you enjoyed it mate, thank you for listening.

A scrappy if unspectacular performance from the Bulls. The goal line defence was as strong as ever, slight concern on the edges but that's been a going concern for the past 18 months.

Today was all about getting the two points and that's what we've done, job done.

Just driving back down the M6 in the rain.

How do you measure the FM figures?
