I'll have a go at St Helens 50 - 10 Bradford

If there is one game all season long that I don't look forward to then it's this.

Fri, 13th June 2008 St Helens 58 v Bradford Bulls 20, Referee: Richard Silverwood
Sat, 28th July 2007 St Helens 35 v Bradford Bulls 14, Referee: Richard Silverwood
Fri, 2nd March 2007 St Helens 34 v Bradford Bulls 22, Referee:Richard Silverwood
Sat, 20th May 2006 St Helens 42 v Bradford Bulls 18, Referee: Karl Kirkpatrick
Fri, 17th March 2006 St Helens 38 v Bradford Bulls 16, Referee: Ashley Klein

Our last win at the GWP stadium was this

Fri, 7th October 2005 St Helens 18 v Bradford Bulls 23, Referee: Karl Kirkpatrick

With the Bulls team as follows:

Bradford Bulls: Michael Withers, Leon Pryce, Ben Harris, Shontayne Hape, Lesley Vainikolo, Iestyn Harris, Paul Deacon, Ian Henderson, Stuart Fielden, Jamie Peacock, Paul Johnson, Bradley Meyers, Lee Radford
Subs: Robbie Paul, Joe Vagana, Adrian Morley, Jamie Langley

How the past three seasons has seen this Grand Final winning team just distingrate away.

I'm afraid another hammering is on the cards, but bugger it I'll be there behind the sticks shouting for us to win.

All refs give the opposition everything according to you! And they say the Wakey fans whinge. Just admit it you're a club in free fall at the moment

The score won't be too bad. Saints won't be anticipating too much of a game and I'm pretty sure Potter will use it as an opportunity to rest one or two.

you're not wrong, there is some real talent in there and it's barely 4 years ago. who do you think is to blame in the main, noble? the board?

Both paying over the odds for the players?

Really don't know, but the current crowds, and decreasing, aint gonna be able to pay top dollar.

No long term planning?

Over-relaince on signed talent and not enough youth?

Perhaps the end of a golden era?

Perhaps Elliot and Smith were significantly ahead of Noble and McNamara in terms of coaching ability?
