If anyone considers anyone other than Hargreaves being MOM for the bulls then I know sweet FA about rugby league despite having played for Dudley Hill and a host of other clubs for years in the seventies and eighties.

Burgess has potential but he is finding the pace of the game a little tough at the moment but I reckon he will be a force to be reckoned with in time. Never a man of the match candidate in a million years though.

As for Herbert I reckon L'estrange will do a better job than him. He was gash as was Sibbitt. Ainscough was tonight too.

Koppy had a poor game and Diskin didn't set the world on fire either.L'estrange was unusually subdued. I reckon that if we had a full strength pack we would have turned this poor Hull side over comfortably and a few bulls players ought to be scratching thier heads as to whether they really deserve to be in a Bradford Bulls team.

Having said that I am certain with the likes of Elima, Langley, platt, raynor and scuton in our team we would have won this match comfortably.

In addition if we had had Menzies playing we would have won this match with the team bar one we had tonight.

Whoever decided to release Menzies needs there head testing!

The squad is still lacking in real quality, but recruitment this year was always about adding depth, plus they didn't seem much quality available in the winter anyway especially In the Halves. Someone mentioned it's only round nine. Isnt it round ten when you can judge a side?



Anyway, I'll take WLWLWLWL over LLLLLLLLL from last year any day. I prefer away days mind, so a couple of wins on road would be nice.

Tha lad is obviously Johns mate. I disagree though(sort of), getting shown how to play by players like Fitzgibbon and O'Meley might hurt at the time, but in the long run they are gonna learn a lot more from the experience of it. Ogre and Fitz will both tell you that they have been battered to smittheriens by quality backrowers and props in thier early days(and later days) and look at them now.



Olbison, Donaldson and Whitehead will have learned a lot from tonight.

Usually, it works out that by round 10 the position which a team is in is where they are likely to end up at or around come the end of the season. But that's just a rule of thumb as some clubs have a burst of end of season form either due to getting a new coach or getting back players who've missed out through injury.

Great effort by Hargreaves.



I thought Koppy really stood up last night and made good yards.

Richard Moore has a cracking CV but I don't rate his chances of coaching Wigan.

I really belive we need to start signing some real quality, weve gone for a larger squad this year, but i think we have good enough juniors to cover our senior players. If we want to get back to the top we need to sign quality, take a leaf out of Huddersfield and Warrington's book, Monaghan, O'Donnell, King, Fa'alogo ect qaulity players make quality sides. I think our fans over rate SOME of our senior players, when in reality they are nothing more than average.

It's also true that quality teams attract better players. When the cap is tight and there are many clubs competing for the same signatures, the hope, maybe expectation, of a pot or two is always going to be a big incentive to guys like the players you mention. Sadly, full cap or not, that is one thing we can't offer at the moment.

Funnily enough, around this time last year, weren't knocking on the top four, until the beginning of May when Mr. Orford got injured and took his leave?

Not that I'd change last year's team for this (apart from Steve Menzies), since we know what happened after May.

WLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWL is a lot better than our record of LLLLLLLLLLLLLL last season!!

LLLLLOLLLLL

Only thing is we are due a win this weekend against salford and a loose against leeds!!
