I saw it hidden amongst the articles. If that wasn’t a message indicating what was thought of him here at Wigan I don’t know what would be shy of “you’re sh**e mate”

No he didn't have many fans did he.

If he was always late for training as the rumours go (and some players joked about it on a podcast) then it's not surprising really.

The whole attitude around the club since Wane left has been a joke. He and Peet will fix that right away.

He has been seemingly treat quite badly by the club both during this season and his departure, other than the turning up late has there been any other accusations aimed his way? He certainly didn’t pull up trees here (I certainly thought there was potential) but he was given less game time than his on the field performances deserved imo.
In a better pack he could become a good impact prop I think.

Tough to say how his attitude was behind the scenes but say the rumours of time keeping are true and if you have a lax attitude to training then it’s little surprise he’s not played as much as he should’ve done. If you can’t motivate yourself to turn up on time for training in such a privileged position and at such a big club, what hope do you have? Its all based on rumour and could be way off but presuming it’s true, Bullock can be thankful he doesn’t have a job in the real world.

If that’s true about Bullock, and I’ve no reason to doubt it, I’m quite surprised Warrington have decided to sign him. When he signed I thought he had all the potential in the world and to a certain extent - he still does. He just looks like he can’t be bothered. Perhaps that’s through having an incompetent coach, perhaps I’m just making excuses but to say I’m disappointed he didn’t become what we all hoped (and believed) he could would be a huge understatement

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Wed Oct 06, 2021 7:35 pm  
There have been many better props than Bullock regardless of any perceived attitude problems he has and I find it a struggle to just put it down to Lam, as that’s too easy.

He was occasionally pretty good for short spells particularly when he looked to be fired up. Those occasions were few and far between and after a couple of drives he was blowing.

His defence was a major issue due to his lack of mobility and athleticism. He had the turning circle of the QE2 and might as well have a big target painted on him for particularly the scooting halves to go at.

He was a big and for his size fairly fast unit…but that was it. No pass in him, just very one dimensional.

Another player that for some reason came with a bit of hype but in reality was/is very average.

I personally would have had him behind Clarke and Partington in that prop department and I’m not particularly fond of them.

I’ve no issue with him going I just hope Wire have paid an inflated salary for him to get him.

I’ve actually no doubt he will come up with some big runs against us in the future but I don’t believe his weakness will improve, his lack of consistency and improvement has seen his time with us pass.

He’s not a novice anymore he is in his prime years now and still struggling with the same issues.
