Speaking personally I’ll be going to more games as we should be playing better rugby and there’s a bunch of new opponents and new grounds to go to. I’m looking forward to it which is a novelty because recently I’ve almost felt like it was an obligation rather than something to do for pleasure.
Its also the chance to see some new players. Just looked at the Ulugia youtube video, and he can create breaks run pass (cut out pass at the end, short inside pass quite early in the vid etc both try assists) tackle score tries and assists and catch the high ball. Ok its highlights but tackling and high ball catching don't always feature in other highlight vids. So seeing how he fares is going to be interesting. and we will get the opportunity, as this squad was built with rotation in mind. So the level of debate following the squad announcement before each game is going to be a whole lot better this season too!!!
I've another reason to look forward to the coming season: the Barrow and Workington aways are just around the corner so I'll be able to say to the missus "just going out to the pub for a quick pint dear" and off I go.

There used to be a pub called the Jolly Sailor at Workington IIRC, near the harbour. Safe to say it's a few years since I was in there but it will be good to go and see.

Sorry mate unless we draw Barrow in the cup you wont be going there, they got relegated.

Seriously, if they are really determined to get into RL they'd be better off starting a new league in Canada. the logistics of what they're [seemingly] suggesting sound horrendous and costs would be off the scale - unless they own an airline, and even then...

The atmosphere will be electric next year following the Bulls last minute reprieve after Wigan have all their points deducted as a result of Flowers bringing the game into disrepute in the Grand Final.

That's pretty disrespectful to the championship.Will be great league next year and any Bulls fan getty cocky at this stage may well regret it come next October.

Personally I couldn't care less about fans being cocky, just so long as the team remember there's a job to be done, that's all that's really important.

You are going to have to get used to our bizarre acronyms on here, POOP stands for Parttime Opposition and Old Players. Which is descriptive as Cleckbull says, of MOST but not all of the Championship.
