Well to me the first two were pretty intense games with the result in doubt till the death while the skills on show weren't anything special I enjoyed both games.

I'll take the third meeting tonight with the above with perhaps the score on the hooter in our favour.

To be honest I did enjoy both previous games but the skill on show did not warrant a classic tab, but yes both enjoyable and I would take the above you mentioned but with the same result from the last two

Amazing performance from the Bulls to shut out the Rhinos in the second half to record our first victory at Headingley since 2007.

This result tonight most certainly gives us renewed hope of a late play-off charge, providing Wakefield can beat Hull FC on Sunday.

It's such a shame that Sibbit wasn't nearer the ball when it struck the upright to touch down for justice

Worst Bradford team I've seen in 20 years. Honest opinion. But McDermott and Lowes continue to be great servants to your club, so enjoy the two points.

You were so lucky! But you make your own luck. Taking the 2 paid off for you guys. You were shot at the end. I said if Leeds were crap you might have a chance and you limped over the line for the 2 points. Fair play.

The rain saved you big time. Oh yeah and Leeds been shocking even in the wet.

Bradford wanted it more imo. More passion from the likes of Whitehead, Elima, Langers etc.

Neither side at their best, but seen worse games in those sort of conditions. Tbh, after how you lot have a habit of stealing it at the death I'll take any win over Leeds!

Re: 24/6/11 | Leeds Rhinos vs Bradford Bulls | 20:00 : Sat Jun 25, 2011 1:40 am  

I thought we defended really well. Leeds can't play the wet weather conditions. Shocked we won mind.

How is it we save our best defensive displays for rainy days? Catalans, Saints and now Leeds. Brilliant showing. It wasn't until about 9 mins to go that I began to think we could do it. Diskin was great as well. Didn't see what happened to go on report but the Rhino's discipline after that was poor.
