Fax Finish Season with Bulls Demolition After last nights dramatic events in the Super League Super 8s all eyes now turned to two matches in the Qualifiers 8s which would determine home advantage for the Million Pound Game next Saturday. Fifth placed Bradford Bulls needed to beat Halifax by a big margin and hope that Sheffield Eagles could either beat the Wakefield Wildcats, or lose by a very narrow margin, to give them an important home advantage next weekend. Bulls coach James Lowes made nine changes, perhaps resigned to finishing fifth and with an eye of a fully fit, first choice, seventeen for next week. READ MORE ON THIS STORY...

YUP!!!

Well done from a Wakey fan.

Had you guys to win by 13+ at 12/1. Made my day.

What a great performance. Well done Fax. Nice to see our old boy Tom Saxton grabbing a couple.

Wow what an afternoon. Yes I know the Bulls made wholesale changes but ... Strangely enough I thought the first half was pretty ordinary from both sides with defences poor. Don't know what was said at ht but what a transformation led by Jacob Fairbank who I thought was poor first but second half was awesome. The intensity was so much higher , great kicking game and some brilliant handling. Bulls gave up in the last twenty but who cares . Well done Fax .

Great end to a great season.

They gave up due getting hammered around the field and not having any backbone, can't see many of those being there next year.

I cant believe we didnt beat Sheffield, maybe its time to look for a new coach.

great performance across the board !! Roll on next season.

A great game. Nilled Bulls in the second half. Fantastic. Who cares if they made a lot of squad changes, they are all full time, full time squad end of. We beat them and beat them well

Well done to the squad, RM, the whole staff and BOD. You have given the best season in years. Thank you!

As a Leigh fan I MUST say your match against the Bulls was very painful to watch,but credit to you as the game went on I found myself wanting Fax to score ,you played very good intelligent rugby and fully deserved your win

it will probably cost my team Leigh a fair bit of cash, but you deserved to win,I always look for the Fax result and have a few Fax friends, maybe some don't like me but that's life, I look forward to next seasons games,have a good close season.Charlie.

Happy, happy days we beat the Bulls in their own backyard and not only beat them we completely stuffed them which goes to prove that heaven does exist as lets be honest back in 2007 who would have ever thought that we would beat them at Odslum and by that score line???
As they say in Gladiator 'we will have our revenge in this life or the next' well you know what, we just got it today.
CHEERS LADS good to see some of you in the Salvation afterwards, roll on next season.

A greet result today, making it a season to rival the '98 squad.
A couple of comments tongue in cheek : GFB. We need a new coach, why is the Wallace Arnold one broken down?
Charlie Caroli, you sound a great guy, but you seem to spend so much time on our forum, ditch the lobby gobblers and become a 'Faxer' you know what Charlie really wants to do.

Looking forward to following Fax next year albeit 7000 miles away.
Thank all at HRLFC for a great season

We don't often have days like that, to the BOD, staff, players, fans and a certain Sir Richard Marshall........thank you for one of the greatest seasons in living memory....gawd bless ya Richie

Can't ask for more than that lads.
Unstoppable second half display and a great end to one of the best seasons for a long time.
Well done to all involved at Fax.

This side has taken 30 years off me this season, I feel like a kid again on match day.
Smashing Bradford live on tv and playing some superb Rugby is brilliant PR and marketing for the Club too.
We seem to have won a few fans on Skys panel too.
One very very proud Fax fan here, Thank you Richard, thank you Players, Thank you BOD's and Thank you
fellow fans, its been a great ride this season, and I cannot wait for next season now.
In Richard we trust and UTFAX.

Just a post to echo the thoughts and comments of those above regarding the complete transformation within a season of the Fax team under the guidance of RM and his coaching team. I heard yetserday that the result was the best since the second World War! The last time I saw us poop on Bradford's end of season party was in the Schuster era from memory.
This team has fantastic togetherness and the celebration they did at the end of the game just showed that in buckets. I am 54 and was acting like a 14 year old yesterday totally taken in by the whole occasion and in dreamland. It's made all those hundreds of miles and £ cost travelling with Mrs LTD this season, worthwhile for sure. It looks like we are building for the future and our season tickets have already been renewed. Let's get more people down the Shay next season and give the BOD and RM more support both vocally and financially to take us onwards and upwards. May the Fax be with you.

Just. The best season. Ever.

Brilliant and next season should be even better - I am fairly certain we are re-signing the majority of the team, which with a few carefully chosen additions should make us a force to be reckoned with next season. The thing that has let us down in the qualifiers has been lack of cover for injuries - a bit more depth in the squad can only help us next year.
We were so much better yesterday with Tommy back, Salty at FB and Jonno at HB - everyone back where they play best

The Ex NRL and SL players retirement village over the hill will gain a few more members over the off season. Luckily Degsy's pockets are very deep as he trys to take Salfords title of the most disfunctional team in RL. Back to us and our fitness compared to the full time teams has been great considering the restrictions that we have but Ive heard next season they should be even better with some of the new stuff that the club will be bringing in. Ive got a feeling next season will be even better than this one.

What a great way to end the season, last few have ended on a massive downer with no momentum being carried into the off-season, this is different. Next year we will hopefully have built on RMs first season and have his own team working on his pre-season, the excitements building already, just need Widnes to do what's expected today and it'll be like Christmas down the Shay with the extra funding.

Well done to all at the Fax, and thanks for a positive and uplifting season.

Anybody spared a thought for Miles Greenwood? It will be like a new signing,on a free, to have him looking for a starting position, adding strength and depth to a tremendous squad.

He just seems to get the best out of everyone. Some of the players that have been great this year I didnt rate at all at the start of the season. I really dont care who we sign because I know RM knows how to get the best out of them!

Best day and great to see the players in town after a special season we will not forget in a hurry
