1. Im a bull!

2. My highlight has to be the following moment, I was luckily on the side and got to see it happen.
Bulls_2469796b.jpg


3. I had big hopes this especially with the start we had but after the hulls away game and getting caught in the tanker that spilled I missed that game as was stuck on the coach, massive downer really not going to lie....

4. Signings not really kept up on it this season I've heard the usual rumours but cant be bothered with that.

5. Don't think I really want to answer :D

6. Not really sure tbh not this early in the morning hah

7. Disappointed in certain elements of the club really, the sacking of the shop manager on those grounds was apauling to say it wasn't even his shirt and then Omar going and saying what he did about *cough cough* kopout ;) on twitter....

8. Not really sure what I think, played a good game against Hull ending 19 they did deserve it was surprised at Diskin and Purtell put up a good run! always feel for Purtell going anywhere near the ball after what he's been through before this season! I really dont know what's going to happen previous 4 games they just don't seem to be in rhythm :( lacking somewhat.

Don't know if its team related? twitter war between Jarrod and Jamie hasn't seen any banter since between Jamie and the team, stil obvious he wants to stay though I mean he hasn't pulled an Elliot Whitehead yet.... The thing that holds us together seems to be the #BullsFamily syndrome with every bulls player/fan can not beat it and the never ending chanting shows it!

9. I think Kearney's contract is up? He has made silly mistakes but you can't fault the guy. Not heard much on Sammut but he cant leave his love for the club is amazing and gives it his best, I think I might be wrong but I heard something about Le'Strange moving on but cant remember if that's right or not?

On a side note:

My favourite game I've been to see this season has to be Huddersfield when our "barmy army" got chose to do the mid game challenge "Hammy" the legend pops up a Kopout banner walking off the pitch after it for it to be snapped off him rather sharply with words from whoever the guy was announcing along the lines of "HAVE SOME RESPECT!" deep down we don't hate him we know he did what he had to do its just something to go along with and im sure you know we like a good chant @physichull

Cant fault foster with his kicking, absolute top bloke I'm surprised saints didn't play him last year, he has spent a few games out and he loved it the last time I was there chanting along to the "Jamie foster is having a party bring your hair gel and your barbie" limping off the pitch trying not to crack a smile down to the pain!

To be fare this seasons been good even losing we don't lose moral fan wise at the end of the day its super league and we all love each other! sort of. but not quite :D this is the first season however I've attended what I can and gone out of my way to, I've spent whatever its cost to go to the games I can with my mate from work after finding out he was a fan after 2 and half years working with each other almost every shift....

Welcome, and that's what its all about to be honest (except for 'ull FC, no love there! ;)). We lose our fair share of games too but it makes those wins all that more special.

I'm sure everybody says this about each of their clubs but fan morale is really important too. Win, lose or draw, the majority of Rovers fans always stay in their numbers to clap the team off at the end of a match, even though its difficult at times (such as that annihilation by Wigan).

Speaking of which, Wigan next week and thankfully I'm at a wedding so won't be able to make it! Dreading the result though! I'm usually quite optimistic when playing the top-4 type of clubs but after the seasons earlier events, I might just let this match pass me by....

Similarly with todays game on the BBC. Wigan v London....I might just miss that one too, but will probably watch Wire v FC, come on Warrington! ;)

Couldn't agree more Super league is in its own class when it comes to respect and I cant help but want to be part of it any way I can!

Thanks for the welcome!
 
As expected, yesterdays game was a very dour affair, such a boring game and probably highlighted one of SLs biggest weaknesses, no strength in depth.

I thought London held their own for about 10mins until the penalty count started rising in Wigans favour.

I just hope today's game is good! Setting off at 2pm!
 
First blow to Warrington and FC a man down already. i am going to stick my neck out now and say that Wire now have the game won. Can't see FC winning now.

Dismayed again and again Craig Sandercock is effectively gagged for fear of getting hit by a fine.

I would take the fine tbh. Someone has to stand up and say enough is enough. When you have the ex head of referees live on sky saying "This will be no try" then some half witted idiot giving it as a try its just embarrassing.

The referees and touch judges need a few months of training in the off season. After that shape up or ship out.
 
Reported that Kearney pulled off an amazing try today cant wait to see the highlights :D

Nice result though today! going to see the Catalan game next week hopefully give them a run for there money (we can all dream).
 
So Richard Beaumount is off to Saints. Bit of an odd one that. He's barely played for us over the past few years, bit of a late bloomer and hasn't pulled up a great amount of trees but isn't bad either. Just a bit surprised that a team like Saints were requesting his services.

But good luck to that lad.

Looks like we are in for Kyle Amor and Kris Keating deal (which is almost done and dusted according to various sources). Costigan and Weyman have been added to the front row aswell. Not bad replacements so far.

Rumours that Cockayne may return to Craven Park, which is also another odd one since we dismissed him a couple of years ago!
