Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote ="Cibaman"We're better placed than I expected in the league. The cup defeat was disappointing, but, given our lack of squad depth, it would have been unrealistic to expect us to progress much further. We dont have the playing resources to compete in two competitions. We might benefit from a couple of spare weekends to keep the players reasonably ">fit.'"
I don't think that's being realistic, rather the opposite.
The Challenge Cup QFs this year sees a 2/7 chance of getting a game against Sheffield or Widnes. It will NEVER be that easy to get within a game of Old Trafford.

There is a law banning sports sponsorship [or at least shirt advertising in France so as we have a French club in the league it might be a bit difficult to have a brewery?

Broader issues of the game aside, I reckon you are approaching the second significant milestone for assessing Cummins (not making a bad start was hurdle one). Under McNamara, Bradford often made solid starts to the campaign in the more wintry weather and tighter conditions, but when the sun came out and the pitches started to harden Bradford would often be blown away by the better sides. Are we starting to see this happen already? I'm not sure.
Potter managed to halt the summer slump last year (the points deduction masked his good work to many looking in from the outside), and hopefully Cummins can benefit from being part of that. Obviously the squad isn't as deep, but it strikes me that you still have more quality in the backline than the latter-day McNamara squads, so maybe you can hold onto a top 8 finish this year.

A lot depends on how we weather this period of injuries. With Kearney (our best back) and Manoakafoa out we'll struggle a bit. As Cummins has said some of our fit players are way out of form and would be replaced if we had anyone to replace them with. We are missing the depth we had in last year's squad.
