Hmm, I'll be honest. I think we will beat Batley and Fev. And I also think Toulouse will be very tough.

I think we have a chance of beating them at at not sure away as they both know how to play the slope

All I have to say, who thought Batley would make top 4 last year? If we have same work rate and don't give up. I think we can stay up.

After everything that's happened it would be a monumental effort to do the double over fev, batley, dewsbury and London, even Swinton look the real deal this season.


We dont need to the the double over them, thats the point. We can lose every game to Batley/Fev and London and still stay up.

I think the vast majority of us think we will stay up. Be pretty funny if we beat KR first up though!

Don't think Swinton have improved massively if I am honest, brought in Matt Sarsfield and Jack Murphy who are good players but lost Littler, Matty Beharrell and Emmett who were all good for them.

When my club didn't exist it was still bigger than yours

Re: The Road to Avoiding Relegation 2017 : Fri Jan 20, 2017 11:15 pm  
Swinton will be tough. They won't feel secure in their position in the league at all, and they are tough as nails. They ran a lot of teams close in defeat last year.

I hate to put this in quite these terms cos it's the kind of thing that leads to us being accused of arrogance. It's still kinda true though. We're a bigger club when we don't exist than some teams still in Super League. We'd be a scalp for any Championship side if we were in League One. We'd be a scalp for a lot of Super League sides if we were in League One. Events haven't scrubbed that away yet. Much diminished, but that's still there. You only have to look at the cast of thousands who would try and convince you otherwise to know how true it is.

Whatever empathy there was is over. They're all gunning for us.

Got no idea how many points you'll need to stay up this season but I think the strength in depth of the Championship is stronger than its ever been

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/

Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!

The only advantage the Bulls have is that their playing systems will evolve rapidly over the next few months, which won't phase the full time Clubs so much but the pt's will hopefully be at a disadvantage, Disko probably had some thoughts about our systems till Rohan left and Toovs took over, I suspect it will be a lot more substance over style in play till some decent playmakers either appear from within or more likely brought in during the season!
Its going to be a bit like the last few weeks of the 95 season and start of the SL era in 96 with the Team changing personnel every week but at lower level in quality this time round. I will predict some silly losses and surprising wins will still be part of the Bulls ethos!
While it's expected to be a roller coaster ride on the pitch, I hope to see some sensible business decisions off it and not all of them will be enjoyable, but it's still a business and needs to be run properly but not ignoring supporters wishes outright!

Now just send a copy to Cha-Lo and the players so that everyone knows the plan.

Are any bookies taking bets on us staying up?


Sky bet aren't taking any bets on the championship at the moment for anything!!

I can't even begin to try to predict the outcome of this season's games until I know what our team is? Only Leon has been confirmed. Until I see a competitive squad on paper then I'm assuming that we'll lose every game.
