I don't care if we have a team full of kids, 22 points condeded in the last 11 minutes is a joke.


The average age of the Bulls wasn't that much lower than that of TO. The problem isn't youth but the quality of the youth being coached and of course the training methods. TO played well enough yesterday but not as well as they have done this season. Ford had a quiet game for him though the centres and second rowers were awesome. Marguerite looked dangerous as did Ader with great support from Planas and Curran. Marion looks the part and with K Bentley is keeping out Kriouache who is useful too. Greg White can't get a look in but i'm sure his time will come as injuries kick in.
Ford is away on international duty next weekend so Kheirallah, rested for the Bulls game wil robably play at s/o with Maurel staying at fb.
A good bench testerday with Hepi looking better every week with Mika and Leha doing their bit. Talk of signings if the right player comes along but where would anyone slot in and who would drop out ?

I disagree about the quality of the youth and also the coaching methods. How could you even know anything about Bulls' coaching methods? We have a track history of bringing quality players through our academy and into the sport - you only have to look around super league and even the England team to see it littered with Bulls academy products.

The problem right now with the Bulls is the positions where we have no option but to play 18 and 19 year olds. You can get away with young backs but as soon as you start playing 18 year old forwards you're always going to struggle.

I'd also remind you that our team of poor quality, poorly coached youths have already beaten Toulouse this season :roll:

The quality of your youngsters was pretty obvious yesterday. Your 'Director of Football' no less said some of the youngsters on show weren't up to the standard required and that recruitment would be undertaken for next season, assuming the Bulls stay up and that is by no means certain after recent performances. On that showing the Bulls are C1 material. Marguerite, the MOM for me yesterday is also 19 and he was way above any of the Bulls' 19 year olds on show. Marcon the 20 year old winger also shone and looked a different class to Caro and Campbell who look like donkeys in comparison.
Leon P, one of my RL heros is a liability and shouldn't be anywhere near a RL pitch. Toovey is obviously embarassed to have him in the squad...
Bulls deserved their victory against TO without their three most influential players Kheirallah, Ford & Minga but on that showing they will struggle to get out of the hole they are in.
The Lee Smith 'losing his passport' saga stinks of the York debacle last year where certain players had no desire to travel to France. Strange he never lost his passport when playing for the Rhinos in Perpignan or indeed for Rochdale in the Final at Toulouse last summer.

Surely it can only be a player from Catalans. Probably the best RL side I have ever witnessed in this season's comp.

Could well be referring to Craig Copczak. The word "littered" would be apposite in so far as he's rubbish.

Well that might have been because he was playing for Leigh at the time in the middle 8 s

Sam Burgess, George Burgess, Tom Burgess, John Bateman, Elliot Whitehead.

Or, in other words, enough to make up the entire England pack.
