This could be bad! I can see Saints scoring a point a minute ultimately leading to Steve Mac's departure and I don't think his work is done yet. There's still Celtics below them!
Now, now Rhinoms, we all come on when you lose to teams like Salford. What's your views mate? Can see them putting at least 50 on us.
I think if you turn up and show a bit of passion and effort you could surprise them and only concede 30/40.
If you start to feel sorry for yourselve's like you did against wire then it'll be anything saint's want it to be.
If there is one game all season long that I don't look forward to then it's this.

Fri, 7th October 2005 St Helens 18 v Bradford Bulls 23, Referee: Karl Kirkpatrick
With the Bulls team as follows:
Bradford Bulls: Michael Withers, Leon Pryce, Ben Harris, Shontayne Hape, Lesley Vainikolo, Iestyn Harris, Paul Deacon, Ian Henderson, Stuart Fielden, Jamie Peacock, Paul Johnson, Bradley Meyers, Lee Radford Subs: Robbie Paul, Joe Vagana, Adrian Morley, Jamie Langley
How the past three seasons has seen this Grand Final winning team just distingrate away.
I'm afraid another hammering is on the cards, but bugger it I'll be there behind the sticks shouting for us to win.
Hope you beat em Mick. Superleague needs a strong Bulls team
Agreed. Super League needs 14 strong, competetive sides. I hope Steve Mac (or his replacement) can turn things around.
Who wants to watch Saints put 70 points past a dispirited Bulls ?
Yes it certainley doesn't look good on tv.. it's a poor advert for the game.
Bulls Warrington game was an embarrassment even as a neutral. It looked awful on tv to see the empty stands - it reminded me of the days of Bradford northern - with the tape recorder of the chant 'northern northern' blurting out when they scored
:lol: yes i suppose so... cos i've no doubt in time they'll be back as a force.
They will indeed. I'd say in about 3/4 years time Bulls will come strong and be fighting at the top. In that time Peacock, Senior, Sinfield, would have retired. McGuire, Burrow, Webb will be coming to the end of there days. Most of Bradfords 'winning side' all retired in the space of 2/3 years and they never replaced them. Maybe the same will happen to Leeds. Although Leeds do look to have some very promising youngsters and better management in GH.

If leeds let them leave all at once they could be in trouble.
They should follow the saints example. Saints have had a number of key personell leave over the years but they've always remained successful.
