Your Say YourBradford

And who is it that has taken us to this point? Too many false dawns this year where we looked to have turned a corner with some encouraging diplays only to throw in the utter tripe that was served to us yesterday. A totally physically and weak rugby team, exposed defensively all over the pitch. Enough of the excuses, enough of the psychobabble, we are garbage end of, season written off and a desperate time to be a Bulls fan. No play offs for the first time in SL, enough said. − Craig,Odsal

Play-offs now a distant dream »

Now you complain because we are looking at players from the lower leagues. Just shut up and let's see who is signed and how they perform before you start pulling them & the management to pieces. − SkiptonPaul, Skipton
