Bradford Bulls players will be made to sweat
7:50am Thursday 8th November 2012 in Bulls
By Ross Heppenstall, Bradford Bulls Reporter
Bulls boss Francis Cummins says the players face a hard slog between now and Christmas
Bulls coach Francis Cummins has revealed his squad will train for six days a week between now and Christmas.
The players began their pre-season campaign on Monday and will be put through a tough training schedule in the coming weeks.
Last year saw the Bulls spend two days at RAF Linton-on-Ouse in North Yorkshire, where they undertook a series of team-building exercises over 36 hours.
The group were sent out into woods for survival training where tasks included evading the enemy, forcing them to work together through the night under severe pressure with little food, water or shelter.
The camp, which concluded with a nine-mile run, severely tested the mental strength of the players but Cummins said: “You can only do one of them once in a while.
“We may do a training camp after Christmas but it would be a skills-based camp.
“It wouldn’t be what we did before but we’re going to be training for six days a week until Christmas, so it’s going to be tough.
“Part of that is about recovering together as well. We’ve got to do it the right way and we’ve got some really good, highly-qualified people working for us and guiding us on aspects such as nutrition.
“We can tap into those skills and benefit from it, so we will be doing some things this year that we didn’t last year.”
Cummins said his men have hit the ground running after returning for pre-season training on Monday following initial tests last week.
“They came back for tests and were all in good shape,” said the Bulls boss.
“They all got stuck in to pre-season on Monday and their attitude has been very good. They look in good spirits and are training really well.”

This squad is looking desperately threadbare to go into an SL season.

Through no fault of the present management we are behind on the signing front and thats why FC&co have to look with caution at what is available.
I would welcome foster signing. it gives good cover on the back division and we could do with a 2nd specialist goal kicker. sammut and addy are not reliable enough for S/L. the abillity to kick goals can make so much difference in S/L.
Yes we do need 2 props and at least 1 more half back to get a team to put out in S/L, but where from is anyones guess.
sure FC will do his best to recruit on what money is available. I know its been said that the full salary cap was available, surely thats not been spent on the squad we have at the moment. if so some must be well over payed.
Lets just wait and see what happens.

Any sign of that news you were banging on about, you know, the news that would have all of SL green with envy?
The only thing the dulls players will be sweating over is if the ratman has enough cash to pay their wages every month.
How do mumby,
Are you still acting all hard as nails, or have you not had your Sanatogen yet you boring old ****?

Good post sir
The old duffers on here don't like being reminded of their gaffs.
Watch out for the fake mumby poster, he's as hard as nails you know.

He who laughs last, laughs longest. Still got that spoon ready, you pair of low life's. See rhinos panicking getting an unknown on trial. Anyhow, have to go, can't think of anything else to say. Keep that spoon handy, pies being baked as we speak.

moomoo,
Nothing to worry about for the world and SL champs, plenty of fans and money, and how you can call HQ when you play at the halal hole. Worrying time times for you lot though, hardly any season tickets sold, desperate measures like comedy nights and re-running old matches to earn a few coppers, pathetic.
Whats up, is the ratman strapped for cash, no wonder eh.

I know the viking and nothing to worry about in any department physically or mentally and I feel sorry for him be honest.
Worked for Education Bradford he claims.
No wonder the City is bottom of the Education league table of GB.
Horrible man.
