| Quote Bulls Boy 2011="Bulls Boy 2011"Bloody hell. Round 3 and calling for Potter's head. Don't get me wrong I din't think he is the right man for the job but calling for his head after 3 games is shocking. I know that being born in 1995 all I know really is the Bulls winning trophies left right and centre. Then since 2006 nothing. So technically I should be more gutted and annoyed at most on here because I never experienced Northern going out of business or playing in the old second division. However I know that all clubs go through phases. Well all the top teams barring Saints.
Back to 2012. Do you really expect to win any of the first 4 home games? Because I certainly don't. Catalan, Wigan, Warrington and Saints will be Top 5 with Huddersfield/Leeds in their. We beat Castleford in Round 2. A game which I 'expected' to win. I 'expect' us to beat Wakey this week and if we do we are still on course for Top 8. The moment we lose a game against Hull FC/KR, Wakey, Cas, Salford, Widnes and London is the moment pressure is on us to beat 1 of the top 6. So as long as we beat them then we don't have to worry about the top teams.
Tbf though I am disappointed at the lack of defence. But like I said I would rather make mistakes (like not finding touch) against a team like Wigan than against Wakey where 2 points will benefit us more as it stops a playoff rival getting them. Problem is, mentally can we afford to lose by 30-60 points then back it up with a solid performance? I know they should be out to win everygame but if they try and then lose it doesn't bother me personally so long as we beat playoff rivals and Leeds once
Also Potter may not be the most motivational person ever but he has made some quality signings for us. Hargreaves was solid for Saints, however he hasn't really been that for us. Also Elima, Raynor, Ainscough, (Royston and Briggs), Sammut, Lulia, Gale, Kear and he's brought on O'Brien, Bateman, Burgess, Crookes, Olbison and Addy. So he is doing some good at the club but unfortunatly not the correct person to pull us out of the slump.
Just wish people would stop moaning and groaning all the time. Accept the fact that Wigan, Catalans etc are class sides and will beat a lot of teams badly. Just be happy we arn't losing to Cas, Wakey and Widnes yet
Top 8 here we come (even through some heavy defeats)

If / when we lose to Wakefield on Saturday night are we then entitled to come back here on Sunday and moan? | | |

It's the fourth match of the season Mick!
Yeah, I hope we win and it's certainly against one of our more direct competitors, and a win would bolster the mood of both players and fans, but must win? Come on, Mick get a grip!! | | | |

With Warrington next up and a tough trip to Hull KR the following win i'd say tonight is a must win yes. If it is'nt which game is? do we have to wait until we play Salford at home on the 25th March for our "must win" game??

Yes but we're probably not going to get anything from the next three games - Wire, Hull KR and Saints. So if we don't win tonight we could end up one win from seven matches.
And, with the best will in the world, that's giving us too much to do to reach the play offs, even at that point of the season | | | |

It's a long, long season mate, and [iall[/i teams are going to have their ups and downs as the season progresses and the fact is we're having some of our tougher opponents quite early on and that's not to say they aren't [iall[/i going to be tough, 'cos I don't see many easy ones. During the year some teams will start like a house on fire and fall away whilst others will start slowly and come on as the weeks go by, some, I suggest a few of the ones we've just played or are about to play, will probably still be around the top at the 'business end', but even they will have their little stutters along the way.
As for us, well we haven't even given a game to all our new signings yet, so talking about "must win games" after three matches isn't just a bit early, it's bloody ridiculous, imo. | | | |
