We can only give it a go & see if anything improves.

To true, didnt mean it as all off their team only have to look at wellens chasing down jeffries and stopping him short, but he was the only one when attempted to chase him.

Think you have to decline before you can raise again bradford are on the way up semi-decent cup run with a playoff finish not bothered where and it should be all gravy. think the top 5 will stay as they are hull fc seem to be to strong for us atm but you never know, and it will be a four team fight between ourselves, salford, saints and KR for the final 3 places

Saints could be well up there IF (Big IF) they improve drastically. Who knows. It's to early on for me to worry about the table yet.

But 7 games in sacking a coach who got you to a final last year, can't see the logic myself.

Surely it's better to give a proven coach a go rather than give two nobodys (In terms of SL coaching) the reigns. I think Cunningham will help get the players playing for the shirt, but imo Saints have kissed goodbye to the top 4 this season by sacking Simmons.

Next two games are pretty big for us. Up to now we've been playing without any pressure but the last few weeks will now have people expecting a top 8 finish. Good results over the next fortnight would go a long way towards that.

Nothing can be done now. Eamonn has made his decision. Who knows what will happen in the next few weeks - we could improve alot or not at all. I'm only going to comment on the table come the end of the season not in March.

Fair enough, just like to see coaches given a fair chance.

Insane decision to sack a coach just a handful of games after he got Saints to the Grand Final

As he correctly said in the post-match interview that was shown on SL Full Time, its not as if Saints have been getting gubbed every week. They had their pocket picked by Catalans with a wonder try after the hooter, they lost by a single point to Huddersfield, and even though we deserved to beat them on Saturday it was hardly a thrashing.

I agree with the earlier comments that maybe a bit of player power is at work here. Or something behind the scenes. Because something about this doesn't really seem quite right....

salford at home then hull away should be good, i would be happy with a win vs salford then a small loss against hull they seem to be playing very well at home

Re: 17/3/12 | Bradford Bulls vs St Helens | 17:15 | #SLBraSt : Mon Mar 19, 2012 2:42 pm  

They have played well their last games but without roby they seem to be lacking the killer instinct and i agree with you bout the other games, very close losses to team who will be in the top 5 this year and will trouble the other big names huddersfield should have a cracking year this year
