I'm not sure who does the main commentary, I only listen for Bradford non-sky away games, but the chap who makes Stevo sounds like Stephen Fry is a bloke called Mark Hobson - he's the overblown fella who probably made reference to playing like under-8's at some point. He also talks too quickly and rambles on while the game carries on without knowing what's happening. Fair play for turning up week after week for nowt, but that doesn't make them immune to criticism.

Well, I only listen once a year, so I'll give them some applause.

Ahh hell, I've just seen the highlights on sky sports news, it was Minns. But everything else I thought was correct! I wasn't a clean grounding. I'll shurrup and go back to my board now!!

alas, not mine alone, but yes, I did say at the start of the season we would not win a game and I currently stand by that. Bradford were there for the taking. Some of their other "star" performers would have been tapped up this week and they will to a man be concerned about the wages run in 25 days time after the RFL covered the February wages via the administrator. Losing, regardless of how "unlucky" we were or if we need "more time to gel" is still losing and as I have said elsewhere, I can only hope that we start well against Wire next week, because if they get a roll on AND Wakey get a result against the French, then OUR best chance of a win gets smaller.

I've toyed with the idea of a thread regarding the mini-relegation league, but steered away, because currently, HKR and Catalan are filling the spots I though Cas and Widnes would be in. That said, it is my belief that in ascending order Bradford, Wakefield, Widnes, Castleford, HKR and Catalan offer us the best chances of points this season and 4 of the POTENTIAL 24 have already gone begging. Bradford could well pull off a win this week against FC and leave us at the foot of the table 4 weeks in AFTER they had 6 points docked With those points back, they'd be sitting 5th BTW.....


I don't knock your faith or enthusiasm BTW, but the only way we will avoid relegation this year is if more teams go tits up and get points docked or go into liquidation.

I have to "be there" to know we are relegation favourites? As for negativity, you find a positive in 3 losses from 3 games, 2 against relegation rivals, with 43 as the average shipped per game and then come back to me.

.....the top 4 this year will include saints/Wigan/Leeds/wire/hudds....what those teams will do to us scares me.

As for my/the post you refer to as negative drivel....how so?

Bradford are a club in turmoil with their best stars being picked off, their wages being paid centrally and if no buyer can be found soon, they will liquidate. Not sure of your version of positivity, but staying up at the expense of a club going to the wall is hardly a "champagne" moment. Did you get the Bollinger out last year when Salford fielded 14 men to keep us off the bottom?
Wakey play the French next week.....I've said that the Wildcats might win and I also assert that the French will come right this year at some stage...not negativity, just reality!

Relegation IS BETWEEN 3 CLUBS.......deny it all you like, but of the 3, we are by far the weakest.

I am sick of being painted as the bad guy here....this club is loved and it is loved because it has been badly managed. People DON'T turn up because we are poop on the park and poop at promoting ourselves, not because I post a dose of realism on an internet forum.

Seriously, to so called fans like PC Plum, Tre Cool and Dotti......love OFF AND PUT ME ON IGNORE. The more times you try to put "positive spin" on the friend flavoured bollox being served up at the club the more I will respond....we are loved even if we manage a win. Go to games, cheer the team on, but for christ's sake, stop posting like Moonies or lemmings.,......you make it sound like WE WILL GET A WIN is positive

Oh...stop annoying the moderators as well, because I am not breaking the AUP, you can all stop posting and the site won't fall over and in reality, they agree with me.

The fact you thought Cas and Widnes would be in the releagation zone shows how little you know about the game. London, Bradford, KR and Wakey are easily the worst teams in the league.

Re: Bradford v London match updates : Mon Mar 03, 2014 8:20 am  

KR were being talked up pre season. I dont think people realised the importance of Dobson to KR.

Its us, Wakey and Bradford. We need to start making progress and quick before losing becomes the norm.

Aren't all our players here as of today?

Gutterfax, you have slipped into a parallel universe, where failure is celebrated more than success, mediocrity over quality, and chaos over order. Stop trying to fight it. ....your only hope is escape.

Re: Bradford v London match updates : Mon Mar 03, 2014 9:04 am  

From the commentary I heard, better! Really want to see these disallowed tries, but feeling like we are turning a corner. But it still frightens the life out of me what a top 4 team will do to us.

Look, our season starts now and we still have our star player to return from injury. We need to start bring our systems together, and I am glad you are enjoyed the quality of our 'reserve grade' players. Drinkwater and farrar are going to rock super league.
