| Quote MicktheGled="MicktheGled"That is a very harsh statement you have made against a very competent, effective and well respected sports journalist.
You should also note that Ross is having his second spell at Odsal after covering the Bradford Bulls during the feel good halcyon days of the early 2000's and I don't seem to recollect any complaints about his journalistic style then.
As Bulliac correctly says "The relationship between club and paper, whilst not exactly symbiotic, is pretty much one of a 'win win' for both sides as it's fair to say they both benefit from it. It should never get too chummy."
The above is true but on the flip side of this have you ever thought that at times during the pre-season/season the club may not have or be sending any information Ross's way.
If there is simply no news to report from the club, what do you expect Ross to do? Do a Dave Craven and start making stuff up which ends up being detrimental to the club?
I know that Connor Murphy set the bar high during his two years at the T&A but it was only after the first six months that everyone started singing what a breath of fresh air he was.
It's only right that Ross is given that same time to settle in and do what he does best.'"
OK. I didn't live in Bradford during his previous spell (and I don't now) so I didn't see his work then.
To me, his work seems to be uninspired and formulaic - I accept your point about there being nothing to write - and dotted with poor English. His work reads like the half-witted correspondents at the bottom of the page.
I get the impression that he would rather be doing anything other than reporting on the Bulls. Still, I don't care, I just won't read it.

| Christ almighty, is Stul not allowed an opinion on this then? If he thinks the coverage is poor then he is quite entitled to say so IMO.
Bloody ridiculous the people who seem to want to censor opinion sometimes.

| FFS Eddie, nobody has censored opinion anywhere. One person offered his opinion, another offered theirs. It's a discussion forum. It's a not a series of isolated opinions on their own shiny pedestals that float in space and never come into contact. People discuss things, and suprisingly enough sometimes disagree. Disagreement is not suppression.

| In his latest piece on the debut of Keith Lulia he refers to him as 'former Penrith....'. Considering he's the designated Bradford Bulls reporter on a Bradford paper it's not very good is it?

Read it again, you're reading it wrong.

It reads "The former Penrith centre tore his pectoral muscle during last weekend’s victory at Castleford and a specialist in Manchester has revealed the extent of the injury"
Which is reffering to Purtell NOT Lulia

Never said it was. The problem is that the lad made an opinion that others seem to want to quieten down. Pretty sad really.
Still, I guess those with agendas need to be seen to support their sources.

But they're not, they're expressing a contrary opinion of their own that happen to be inspired the opinion of someone else. Surely this is allowed?
