perhaps a better question is would you rather see improvements in results or performance?

Improving performance indicates the team (players and coaches) are doing the right things while results can be entirely dependant on who you are playing. So over any run of games I'd rather see improved performances.
except of course on April the 10th.

Even if the team say lost all of the games.

But I'd like to making my stance clear. I think the current team are 2/3 players away from being a force again. But I don't have any faith in McNamara's ability to coach the side towards winning silverware.

I agree a strike Centre and a halfback with a bit of vision and we would be an entirely different proposition.

Yeah I think you're right. Can't help thinking that totally new (quality) centres and half backs would make us a brilliant team. Obviously not enough money etc. but it would make us a lot better. Jeffries and Sykes are improving but still not good enough for a top team imo.

I wasn't replacing Jefferies.

No, he's moving on up, and also not Nero. Is there any Centre in SL currently playing better? I'd say not.

maybe so in the short term - but let's say all the Bulls played for 2 years was Sh!te, Sh!te and more Sh!te, for how long would you keep paying at the gate?

If they are winning though then they are not playing poop, are they? They are playing quality, effective rugby that is good to watch. I never got this 'Boring Bulls' malarky that fans of other sides said we played under Nobby, and to some extent Bulls fans who have also now decided to think it was boring after Nobby has left. It was excellent stuff and I would much prefer to see us playing that game now than the game which we are currently playing now

No, I know that I just think given the opportunity it would be good to have 2 totally new half backs.

I'd rather win dull, than lose in an entertaining game.

I think i'd have to agree with you. Although winning every game of the season dully would be very boring.







I'd still love it though .
