That's interesting, It's looking like he's going to spill the beans now that he's left the Club. There not cutting back on the pie allowance surely. Anyway I'm glad we are done for the season.

He might not neccassrily be spilling beans, more likely just saying lines like "there's certain things at the club that need addressing etc"

I'd actually be really disappointed if, minutes after his final game for us, he started mud slinging and throwing people under the bus in public (no matter if justified criticism) . At the end of the day, as captain there were certain aspects of the club he could have improved. He was dropped earlier this year and is completely out of shape.

Well it will be interesting to hear his thoughts, let’s have your honest opinion Steve. No chance of that from the management.

Essentially 2 John Kear teams playing each other. One looked like it had never played the game before and the other couldn't believe their luck that they'd come across a team equally as garbage.

I've never been so bored at a game. At one point they we stood in a huddle 30m from the PTB...no basics at all.

Next year can't be anywhere near as bad.

Next year could be worse.

Crossley’s comments in T&A are interesting…..

Mick’s alluded to similar comments from some of the players that have already left/been announced. He mentioned during commentary a couple of weeks ago that an outgoing player had said he felt like he’d been sold a dream and been let down.

Makes you wonder.

I’m not optimistic about the future.

Wasn't Steve C ill with long covid?

Whilst he's been poor this season and looked unfit, he's been a good club servant. I'd love to hear his thoughts on the situation. He came through in the Mcbanana era and has seen it all as a fan and player. He was even in the 47 man squad that had no half backs that was assembled under Steve Ferres, who came to the club recommended by someone at the RFL. Can't think who.

Any adult man 'sold a dream' at the Bradford Bulls needs a full time carer. WTF have they been for 10 years?

The only dream I can think of is the ridiculous coaching situation of "we've applicants from all over the world" only to give it to Dunning. Don't think it's a coincidence we've won one game since the appointment.

That been said I'm growing tired of the players blaming everyone else but themselves. This isn't a defence of Wood as I don't think he's competent enough to take us forward, however I'm struggling to think of what dream these players are referring to. At the end of the day, Nigel didn't lose to Halifax whilst playing with an extra man for 79 minutes, or Whitehaven at home etc. I think some of these players need to look in the mirror.

Completely different mind set to those on our 2005 documentary who had just as much off-field issues, but they went on and became champions.

Alright poor choice of words. Maybe they were told the set up wasn’t going to be as crap
