Good for your team, they managed to play the system well, we didn't and that's how it goes.

At that time though, I think your club were the leaders in terms of marketing across the whole Rugby League in this country and the protocol for the reformation of Bradford from "Northern" to "Bulls.

Surely it should be York not Widnes Vikings or Leigh Centurions.

I like them although I was fairly young when "The Rhinos" were introduced. I remember a cup game against Oldham (I think) looking at the scoreboard and seeing it say "Ronnie is coming!". Didnt have a clue who he was like but it added to a kids exitement

And I think most Leeds fans do refer to us as the Rhinos now. I know most people around Leeds (non fans too) always go by the nickname. Rhinos is one that has worked well though IMO.

Oh and the OP said Saints dont have one but they didnt need one. They are the Saints. It would have been silly to add a name to them.

A bit like Trin. But I don't know how coming out between an inflatable Jesus' legs would look. However Daddy Cool could have been a better mascot!

Think it was to do with the Halifax Bomber spreading love and good cheer all over the fatherland.
