wonky Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I believe Leon has cancelled his holiday to make sure he was there Sunday, but obviously has no commitment to the club, leaves training etc yet cancels his holiday the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 It will be a real shame if we can’t give this a full on shot . It’s a massive opportunity to get to a higher level , testing yourselves week in week out and great games to watch . More funding , attract better players , more exposure . If someone had put you here on day one you’d have snapped their hand off . And 17 on 17 you’d fancy us against a side devoid of confidence after a season of being flogged . Really interested to see what happens this week , I’m sure the cogs are turning behind the scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fair and hard tackle.I thought Fui had his arms round him.

Carlisle1921 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Who was the lad from barrow we signed on deadline day along with the 2 lads from huddersfield? I assume he would be eligible to play even though i dont think he has been named in a 19 man squad once since he signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMac Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I see fui has been charged with a grade c offence, 3 match ban. Unless there is a completely different view to the one that I seen which shows something completely different I cannot understand how that is a 3 match ban. It looked a bone crunching tackle on the back of a hospital pass. Rugby league is going down the pan the way it is officiated and the way players now act like the prima donnas of football trying to con referees and cheat their way to winning. Players never used to say a word to a referee now it is almost every play where arms are in the air claiming a penalty. It lets the game down big time.

THMS Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 No way are you joking. Fui made a great tackle. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. I've watched it back a few times and it was just well read ! Can that be appealed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Wonder what would happen if that was a SL player from Wigan or Wire a week before the grand final ? Don’t know who makes these gradings but once you get that there’s no way out . Pathetic the way the games been sanitised to hell and the way players con anything they can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Bans don't usually start to 2 weeks after the offence so moimoi should start his ban start of next season. That's if he gets banned though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumberland Sausage Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 One thing that does sadden me is reading Leons Interview where he says our preparation could have been better with an overnight stay but we could not afford it. Surely with half the gate money due from what would have been at least a predicted 4000+ crowd we should have set some of that money aside to cover the cost of an overnight stay and give the players every chance of being fresh for the game and would have also been an excellent bonding opportunity.

They didn't stay overnight last time when we beat them....I think we have to hold our hands up and say that on Sunday they were the better team from the start. 6 hours ago, Hate the rec said: I read that and he also wasn't happy with the turn out for the captains run on Saturday due to players being at work, sadly not the best preparation for a important match.

Leon wasn't there not to be happy about the turnout...he cancelled training 15 mins before they were due to start via the players WhatsApp so that doesn't deserve a mention as an excuse why we got beat.... As I've said before Bradford were the better team..... Let's not finish the season looking at excuses be realistic about last Sunday and stop forgetting how good a season is it's been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic He wants to get a grip. We’d beaten them once this season travelling on the day, and one of the players injured didn’t even stay over at Doncaster so probably wouldn’t have at the weekend either. He really doesn’t do himself any favours coming out with this rubbish. He needs to be thanking the board for giving him the best backing I can remember for many a year not throwing his toys out of the pram because he didn’t get his own way. Town are a league 1 club not a super league club and I don’t remember them ever staying over at Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is one aspect that Leon has struggled to come to terms with this season. He has always been in a full time environment with everyone there when required, unfortunately that doesn’t happen when you are in a semi pro set up. It must be really difficult for players when they are juggling a full time job, family life and training. In an ideal world you’d want them there all the time for training but it just isn’t going to happen. However whether it is our own players or dr and loanees nobody can question the level of commitment they have shown to the town cause this year. I also think the board have backed Leon tremendously and if they have said money is not available for a stay over you just get on with it. I’m sure a lot of previous coaches would have enjoyed the backing that has been there this year. I think the game this weekend will be one game to many for the squad we have available, I hope I’m wrong. Whatever the result it will be interesting to see what happens in the close season and whether Leon commits to another 12 months of travel or whether something will come up for him closer to home. After the Jamie Doran contract extension he has been really quiet about any plans for next year. I for one hope that he is still here as he has started to wake up our club and would love to see what he can do with 12 months experience under his belt.

Before people start calling Leon just because the win didn't go our way on Sunday, I think u first need to be thanking him for where he's got us this season. We have done better than the last few (at least), he has brought great players in and got rid of the rubbish ones, he has created 'Hope' for our team and a real buzz around the town. I can't remember a season I have enjoyed as much as this one in a long time. I hope he stays with us another year whether we get to championship or not! Also the BOD should be credited for their amazing job and backing of Leon and his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must be the biggest budget in the last 3 seasons that the board have spent. The "great players" Leon has brought in would probably add up to the full budget during last season. I'm sure if Clark had this budget he'd have done better too.... Leon has done well in his 1st year but the money has definately helped him achieve this.
