I agree. During Bradford's strong period, they weren't insufferable the way other clubs are. Warrington are insufferable even though they've not had a strong period since the 70s.

Look at their team now compared to when they won the SL in 2003. Only 1 player is playing today that played in the final - Deacon. They have gone the same we we did circa 2005.

Bradford 0 - 12 Hull after just 4 minutes, whats going on with Bradford at all

Its what happens when you promote a coach who has not served a proper apprentiship to a head coach of a top club. Said this all along.....the appointments of lowes and mcnamara to wire and bradford respectivley, in the infancy of their management career is ludicrous.

These are both past players with little management experience, and were both playing 5 years ago.

Coaches at the top level should work their way up from coaching lower levels and learn their trade. In what other industry would you get what happens in sport....less than 2 years of any management experience and your running the whole joint of a top ten business.

Its akin to a shop worker at tescos becoming director of the company within 2 years. All SL coaches should have at least 10 years management experience before they get the opportunity to coach SL rugby....and build up their experiences.....The problem is simple and through no fault of lowes or mcnamara....they simply do not have enough experience at the moment to coach top flight

Agreed. I also suspect that there may be financial issues at Bradford. There've been rumours for a while that Odsal is a drain on them, and all talk about their getting a new stadium seems to have gone very quiet. They were a real go-forward club in the early days of Super League, in every aspect of their operation. But now they seem pretty much like a bunch of also-rans. Their crowds have tailed off alarmingly as well.

As for Warrington, I don't know what the problem is there. But Wire fans talk repeatedly about the 'culture' at the club needing to change. I'm guessing that the stories we hear about several senior players being more committed to partying than to training, and taking the younger players along with them, are pretty accurate.
