Sacrilege eddie, you mean your ancient history. :wink:

Then again a bit of myth making would be fun right now. Given me an idea for a thread...

AP will string you up! Like his hero Nero, Mark Anthony was no myth but very real though (go ask Cleo...! ;)), despite the liberties that Shakespeare no doubt took with the character.

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.
debaser wrote:So the underlying thoughts in this thread are that:
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.

:shock:

Ancient Provocateur wrote:I refuse to be seen as part of any tendency positive or negative. 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.

Any time McNamara has made positive comments in the press, he has been criticised on here for not letting the rugby do the talking.

Quote:Whilst criticsing in these forums is OK we need to get behind the boys next week when they are out on the paddock against Dull. COME ON YOU BULLS

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.

Trimalchio wrote:On Justin Morgan, the difference there is that he has brought a club up from a lower division, made some quality signings that Bradford should have been in the running for (e.g. Webster, Fox, possibly even Walker, Vella, Newton etc), and also managed to perform occasionally against the bigger clubs, which Bradford seem incapable of doing since 2007. Against this backdrop the occasional big losses can often be overlooked by the fans - again their expectations weren't high in the past but that won't be the case for ever.
The problem with McNamara is that things seem to be getting gradually worse every year, despite his efforts to reverse things; other coaches at 'lesser' clubs (Morgan, Matterson, Kear etc) at least give the impression that improvements are being made from previous seasons. If this downward spiral continues the club have to ask if McNamara is the right person given the resources avaiulable to take Bradford forward - but he at least needs time to show that his 2009 team can deliver. Look at Huddersfield in 2007 - started with many consecutive wins and then went on to make the play-offs.


Spot on mate

Anything like? Really? The thing is, I think people believe this actually is the case, that there are no positives, that nothing is to be lost by hitting the reset button.
