If we do end up being relegated how do you think our team would shape up next year, who from our current team do you think would stay?

In all honesty the question should be who will find other SL Clubs. The obvious ones who could, have gone Sctutes, Carvell, Sammutt and Bateman. Maybe add Donno , Gaskell and the invisible man possibly Kear and I`m struggling.

that was totally unfair having a good team playing a poor team, a totally unfair contest, huddersfield should only play the good teams..... so how many batterings do we still owe you now?

One thing's for sure Meast - we won't be allowed to be bottom of the pile for four successive seasons before the plug is pulled, unlike some in the past..mentioning no names..

Its not as if there any Championship standard grounds in SL - well perhaps I could think of one not far south of Odsal?

You actually think that did us any favours? We were begging to be relegated rather than getting hammered and losing week after week. You can see what its like with your fanbase getting less and less week after week. Imagine that going on for 4 seasons!! Relegation was the best thing that ever happened to us back then as every Giants fan will tell you. Dont try kid yourselves that the RFL did us any favours in keeping us in SL. We had to build again after getting promotion and the fanbase is gradually getting better.

Well said. And if I remember correctly didn't one of our best players move to Bradford, Brandon Costin, when we were relegated? Although he came back when we were promoted again. Eorl stayed with us and I think you'll find it's more likely to be the local players who will stay and play to get their hometown club back up. How many of your current squad are from Bradford?

Of the regular first teamers, Danny Addy, Tom Olbison, James Donaldson and Adam O'Brien have come through our academy system. I'm going to keep quiet about the exact number of academy players in our 25 man squad just in case the RFL still have rules for this sort of thing. http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/squad/first_team

Costin wasn't illegally poached though and neither was he a Huddersfield junior [do you have an academy set up of your own, you do seem to get a lot of ours..]
