Bulls have stiuggled this season in transition with a poorer squad than previous seasons, But whats your excuse? P*ss poor from the great team of last year. Mclemmon is taking you down, get rid of him.
Your poor following at Grattan showed no confidence in your team and was well deserved by the result.
Rather than glorying over the Bulls current poor record you should look at your own abysmal decline from last year's quality. GET RID OF McLEMMON and start to play the way you used to do.
Yeah you might beat the Bulls this weekend but that wont cover over the cracks that you are a million miles awy from St Helens atm and down the drain fron last year

Methinks you're a couple of letters short of the correct spelling of literary, but I think it's fair to compare the Bulls performance this season to a Shakespearian tragedy.

We, on the other hand, are a team playing at 60 percent of our potential and still in second place in the League. I've only watched 40 mins of the real Rhinos this season, and that was the first half at Headingley against Wigan. The rest has been.......different.

We are probably only 2 signings away,( right centre and 2nd row) from having a better balanced squad, and hopefully a return to playing the type of rugby that brought us back to back Championships.

Rhinos by plenty.....and Bluey with a big smile on his face Friday night!

I thought the Bulls were buying you that with the Harris money!

Certainly not worth sacking the coach but no real progress on the last regime. I suppose it's a bit like driving a suped up Honda. It's a good car and could beat everything else at the traffic lights but it's never going to be a ferrari!

Although we seem to be getting a few miles out of our old Rover at Odsal!

well of course we all know the thing that bradford are still remembered for years after ,1963 ,oh and there were other times when you also sank and other clubs pulled you out

That's an idiotic thing to say. If you actually think that that is what Bradford are remembered for you are truly a clown.

Leeds DID win the WCC in 2008, btw.

And if Leeds manage to win this year's GF - and I see no reason why they can't, they will become the first team EVER to win it 3 consecutive times.

The real stuff of legends.

As for Friday, we still have some issues but we're quietly cementing 2nd place and keeping the pressure on Saints. We've had 4 pointers against Huddsx2 and harlequins recently and won them fairly convincingly in the main. We still have the best defence and whilst we've nowhere near clicked on attack we're still the 2nd best in that department.

So all in all I'll be surprised if we don't win by 15. Having said that, I was surprised at Easter so you never know.

That's a big if with teams like Hudds' and Hull KR in contention this year aswell as Saints. So you'll be surprised if you don't win by 15? I'd say it's very likely then, oyu may win by more or less, but 15 is very unlikely .
