Crucial point - in the same way excitement was heightened by not havin won a major trophy for fifteen years, now expectations are raised and so disappointment increased by the contrast with recent successes.

1) accept that we are rebuilding.
Questions - Are we? What evidence is there for that?
The number of Bulls youngsters that went to Aus in the junior GB squad last year.
Quote:2) accept that we have no divine right to win every game.
I accept that. But we should still be competing in every game shouldn't we?
Generally we are but that doesn't seem to be enough for many fans.

BUT someone has to come out against the rhetoric of the 'transitional season' being purported by the likes of FA and af. I don't want to support a club that is saying it is 'transtional' or 'building' after 3 games in. Why can't we be like McDermott and Morgan who have thrown the gauntlet down and already upset a few. The mentality at the club is defeatist and totally unacceptable IMO.

Didn't happen. Didn't even let Platt get on the pitch before booing him. Seriously, if you feel the need to boo a player
onto the field then something's going wrong in your life that you can't seriously expect your local Super League club to try and compensate for.
