Leigh (H) Challenge Cup : Tue Mar 01, 2022 3:56 pm  

Last time I went to Odsal watching Leigh in the challenge cup you stuffed us (thanks google) 58-16 in 2010. I know we could lose this one, but hopefully if we did it wouldn't be another spanking. The stats from the game are below, some pretty good players on show, most of them in a Bradford shirt, obviously. https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/competitions/challenge-cup-2010/game-5/bradford-vs-leigh/summary.html

Get yer ticket early as it'll definitely sell out.

Ah the nostalgia. And to think some of us were critical of quite a number of those players at the time.

Little did we know

Robbie Hunter Paul in the line up but for the Leigh side?! It completely slipped my mind that he played for Leigh, albeit very briefly. Steve Menzies and Elliot Whitehead in the Bulls squad alongside the enigma, Michael Worrincy.

3 Bulls still playing from that side 12 years ago and they'd all walk into the current team.

I was at this game also, no idea why I went it was obvious we'd get stuffed, but can't remember how well you were doing in SL at that time. Robbie (Hunter) Paul was a massive signing for us, he was doing okay (generally) I seem to remember. But then he got a tackle badly wrong on Sheffield Eagles 'beast' Menzie Yere, think he retired shortly after. Do you reckon our game will be televised ? Hope it's not on a Monday night.

I remember the game well. Menzies and L'Estrange were superb.

I remember the Bradford Half Back simply passing the ball to a young Martin Ridyard to score under the posts. Leigh took a good few to that game, but typical of Odsal, felt like 200 in attendance, not the 4k ! Happy Days !

I thought Sykes had finally retired?
