As it is they are just about getting by. Card payments in their shop have had to be made through a third party. Their coach still has no visa. Recent results are awful. Reliant on loan players from Leeds. A court case that they could lose. Not a very good outlook.
Can see the RFL having to take over until the end of the season, then fold the club.

Lack of communication is the key, we're skilled & experienced now at picking up indicators that things are not good, and they're racking up again.

Shop has been accepting only cash for the last 10days

The Visa excuses are wearing thin.

I would argue that results are only awful where we have no props, or only 18yr old props. When we have 4 adult props, the results are comfortably midtable.

Don't know why you qualified the loan statement with "leeds". We're reliant on loans, full stop...

By definition, any court case has a possibility of losing.

And finally, most Bradford fans think the RFL actually took over in January as Chalmers & Lowe are doing what the RFL want. They just have deniability at the moment.

well on top at half time... hopefully will be clinical 2nd half and rack up 60+ again 2nd game in a row, which will put us in a great form for Bash at Blackpool

I'm guessing the "worrying stuff" will be minimal.

Fantastic performance given the numerous injuries.
Can't wait for Fev next Saturday! Should be good.

Looking at the Bradford site, looks like we were still giving a fair few penalties away

Re: Bring on Bradford : Sun May 21, 2017 7:43 pm  

Ye Gods! 56 points away from home and someone's found something to complain about!

Re: Bring on Bradford : Sun May 21, 2017 9:01 pm  

Can't see anyone complaining? Merely asking what are areas for improvement. If we win by a 40 plus margin but are still giving away a shed load of free mtrs it's not good for the upcoming games, fev and Toulouse will not let in as many points. I also asked for encouraging feedback, what they did particularly well.

A great win, With Leon Pryce on the pitch we cut them apart, Dixon took full advantage. They improved once he went off to a chorus of booing, never to return.
Bradford attack was as poor as its defense, having at one point three sets of six on our line and failing to score.
Channing was a bit off his game. Rocky though was immense, Dixon outstanding. Really it was a great team effort Hendo must have been pleased.
Oldzeki the Leeds player who ripped us apart at Featherstone was poor today and we will not face him next weekend.
We go to the Summer Bash with our confidence high, and we should give Featherstone a good game.

Pleased to hear Rocky had a good gane

The only 'blip' yesterday was the sin-binning of Daniel Harrison for a tip-tackle 3 minutes from the end so am hoping that he doesn't receive a ban if it goes to disciplinary.

Also, and even though he did a fine job with is 8/10 (and 3 tries), I was slightly surprised that Dixon was the goal kicker over Sammut. Perhaps Hendo is trying to give Sammut less responsibility, therefore getting him to play as more of a team member rather than the individual one he was before.
