Yep, but, if required, nothing to say we can't do that as well.....

The only thing that will catch us out are injuries. Our pack has plenty of depth to cope. However just two halves and Gale fragile to say the least. Then only max at FB . I realise we have a few other possibilities, but they are far from ideal. I would not like to go into a play off game without anyone of those three

They got 12.03 points, where are they going to make the rest up? We got 12.52, then we got another point when the stand opened up that wasn't counted and we've just won the 1895 cup for a few extra decimal points, plus other things we won't know about such as finances, that will no doubt look good come the time.
Even if they won the playoffs somehow, how do they reckon they're gonna overtake the other teams, like Cas , Leigh and even Toulouse who have a points start on them? Seems wishful thinking to me.

Exactly why I’m not worried about Bulls as rivals for the SL place. They likely wont come close in score.

Their ground/facilities and utilisation scores are too far behind, they "hired" a temporary screen thinking that would score them points, but the criteria states it needs to be a permanent fixture, they are unlikely to improve on the social media interactions and can't improve on the catchment, there maybe a slight improvement in their finances (0.25pts) and if they win grand final they could improve on there on field performance score, but they would still be scoring less than Wakey/Toulouse/Castleford and Leigh based on the 3 year average. Gledhill is a deluded, clueless buffoon, but always remember "even a broken clock is right twice a day"

Bit harsh on Gledhill, he may be a clueless deluded buffoon but at the end of the day he's a Bulls fan masquerading as a journalist...you can't expect impartiality from him anymore than you could from any other fan.

Agree with all that. We have already pulled away from them so if they do manage to upgrade stadium, it's Cas that should be worried. Saying that let's make sure we win the GF to keep ourselves at the top of the Bs this season, then push on for an A.

And there lies the issue with him, he can only be one of them at a time, not both, he cannot report as a journalist with that much bias, he has to be impartial and stick to "known facts" not make things up to suit the fans agenda. no problem him reporting "speculative" information, but he needs to make that clear and not imply them as facts
