Good Luck : Sun Sep 20, 2015 12:34 pm  

I would like to wish you Good Luck in your remaining fixtures. One thing I wanted from this 1st experience of Qualifying Rugby is that with grit, determination and the want to succeed that at least one Championship club made it to SL. It only makes for a better competitive sport at Champ level if we know there's a chance.
All the best Bulls your Flying the Flag for us all now.

Thank you, would have been good if both teams could have gone up, but it is still undecided what will happen. Still not altogether sold on the concept of the middle eights as we will probably see several early season matches without intensity due to there being no real challenge there. What the Championship Clubs were not aware of when this was started was that S\L Clubs could strengthen with highly paid players, whereas although CC Clubs could recruit, they did not have the finance that SL Clubs did. Badly thought out.. a boom and bust situation could be the result. Lets hope not!!!

I am sure with time as with all new initiatives the RFL will look at what Rules can be imposed both at SL and Champ level as to protect the integrity of the competition and also protect the clubs from the "Boom and Bust" situation that you refer too. Franchising didn't work for me and that's not sour grapes because we didn't get an opportunity. It was mainly due to a feeling that the competition was stagnant at both the bottom end of SL and Top of the Championship.
I remember being the bridesmaid on several occasions in the Grand Final Days of Promotion but the Club worked hard and learned valuable lessons. I am sure that over time Clubs will work hard in the areas they need to at the time they need to once they start to understand the competition.

Your good wishes are very much appreciated. One of the best aspects of this year has been the good natured banter between rival fans. With a few exceptions, the comments from fans of rival clubs have been both sensible and without rancour.
I too hope we are back in Super League next year . It's still a big task for all the reasons given by many pointing out the uneven playing field.
I hope ( and expect) that Leigh are in the Super 8's in 2016. You have a great fan base, a great stadium and a great coach. It's obvious from his post match comments that he will be astute enough to learn lessons and develop even more next year.

Good Luck and really hope you fly the flag and give Justice to this new system.

You deserve your shot.

Very unpredictable match for which I feel would be hardly free flowing due to nerves. Head says Wakefield but anything can happen !

(From a very jealous Leigh fan !! LOL)

Thanks Snowy.
As a Bulls/Northern fan for 30+ years I think this is the most important game that I'm not nervous about. If we win - excellent; if we lose - so be it.
All I want is a fair game; don't want the ref/video to spoil it as has happened on so many occasions before.
I've got nothing against Wakei - if they win on the day - and its been a fair game - then I wish them best of luck for next season.
As others have said - its how much the players really want it.
We've turned in some surprise results - both good and bad, so not sure how Saturday is going to go.
Good Luck Wakei.
Come On You Bulls - lets put one last big push in lads - it would be nice to be back up there.

People wishing Bradford well is a peculiar experience. Not something I've seen for a while. I feel quite wistful for the legions of people telling us to drop a division and cut our cloth. Them were the days.

Yes, as long as your club are in e right position financially then good luck to you, if not then another year in the Championship might be better. If Wakey come down I think they'll be in big trouble , only time will tell.

I'm not a Bulls supporter and I never thought I'd say this, but good luck Bradford!
