Its not the end though is it Bang , season ticket holders will be lost , occasional paying punters will be lost and oh just a thing about pride for those of us who have to listen to our workmates from Bradford going on about it for god knows how long . The other downside of course is a probable away semi in the play offs

There were plenty of players out there putting in the grunt and effort, they do not turn up and think oh well its raining and it's only Bradford so lets all toss it of for 80 minutes and then go to the pub.

The ball handling and conditions were poor not the worst ever by far. Our coach and senior players should have adapted their tactics a dam sight better then they did. It's boring but what is wrong in kicking the ball into the opposition 20 on the 2 or 3 tackle and making them bring it out into our defense. Force them into the errors in their 20 and then look to punish it. The lack of grubber kicks was amazing in the conditions. Also with the defense coming up "SO QUICK" why don't we ever use the chip kick, even if it does not work, so what it keeps the defenders wondering about the next set.

Over all this year we have had some entertaining games at Headingley and I for one will be renewing my season tickets. If you think we are playing crap then just cast your mind back to the mid 90's.

I agree with Bang, we were crap but still in with a chance of winning the shield, cup and grand final. Stop being so depressed.......

I disagree! When players are walking to scrums and taps within the first 10 minutes, that's a clear indication of the mindset they've come into the game with. No urgency, no intensity and no fight.

Whilst I agree that no player will have walked out there wanting to lose or toss it off, if you've not prepared physically and mentally for a good, hard, high intensity game, you'll turn out a flat performance like that.

It wouldn't be so bad if this had been the only time this year we've handled the ball so poorly & looked so bereft of ideas in attack.
For goodness sake The Bulls had more idea in attack than we did.

People have been saying for a few years now that the supporters will stop buying the season tickets and fans will stop attending matches........it's not happened though has it. We still remain at a constant level with attendances.

If you do a bit of research our crowds have dropped in the past IF the Club take their eye off the ball it will happen again and it would be foolish to think otherwise.

So, answer his question, when did that happen and what did you mean?

The same thing mentioned by numerous people in numerous posts. Watch the game, and you won't need someone else to tell you.

The thread is not really about the 2 points - with the current league format, the 2 points are almost insignificant (and the players played that way too), and it's that attitude we're discussing.

The players absolutely turned up to last nights game in the complete wrong mindset to win the game or even put in a half decent performance. Is that acceptable when you've got paying punters?

Would you be happy going to a restraunt and being served by someone with a bad attitude and the food then being rubbish - but it's ok, they've got a big party in tomorrow night, so they're saving their best for that?

Such posts as this just prove how arrogant, one eyed, negative, ignorant, and juvenile some so-called "supporters" really are.


They conveniently forget or simply over look the fact that there are always 2 teams on the pitch and that in a restaurant there isnt a team from another restaurant trying to p!ss on the chefs chips or knock my meal out of the waitress hands all the time they are trying to serve me.

PS If you bought a season ticket then Friday nights match was free
