Come On you Bradford Fans,,How many of you thought that you were going to beat the Rhinos tonight?
After last weeks defeat in France did you honestly think you would turn over your biggest rivals,,,Now C"Mon be honest....

Not sure any would have expected what we saw tonight. Those who claim to are lying!

Didn't think we would win, but it seems all the sweater that we managed it!

Never in doubt.
I've said it all week............






.....honestly!

Never in a million years. Didn't go (150 mile round trip) and even delayed watching it till wife and kids were out of the way in case I lost it!

Funnily enough, I did lose it but not in the way I expected

i expected tonight to be maccas last game i seriously thought we would get a pumping

Humble pie for me....But one swallow doesn't make a summer. Come on lads prove me wrong. Well done tonight playing with only 16 men and finishing off with two injuries. Did it tough and did it well....

thought we'd get stuffed, my dad thought we'd sneak it

Heart said if our lot were hurting enough and wanted to show the negative knockers what they thought of much of the vitriol being produced, they might just manage it. With a lot of hoping and praying...

Head said it was too big an ask, and that provided we didn't collapse again and kept any winning margin respectable then that would be the best we could hope for.

Just goes to show what many will already believe - my head knows bugger all!

I'm a season ticket holder and was very tempted not to go the last couple of weeks have been such a downer.


Makes tonight all the sweeter though.

I spent the entire second half expecting us to collapse and for them to run up a 20 point lead. Ecstatic when that final whistle went.

Always listen to your Dad mate,,,

I for one never doubted that the Buls would loose
Thought it would be a draw and bet on it. £10 @ 20 to one.
Seriously never considered that the superb free flowing Leeds side of last year that has been this year castrated by McLennon would pose a problem to a bulls side if the the bulls were motivated.
They were, and Leeds were naff

I did, I put £20 on them to win - cheers Micky G!

I didn't think we'd lose.

I thought we were going to get stuffed, the atmosphere in the ground was fantastic tonight and the fans got behind the team really well, and at the final whistle it felt like a trophy win rather than just the two points. Probably more relief than anything else!

Fan*******tastic.

Anyone looking at the facts surrounding the match, and both teams, objectively wouldn't have predicted the sort of scorelines that some were. Leeds were rightly favourites, but some people on internet forums seem to think that you have to be hysterical.

Best atmosphere in the ground for many a day.

The fans probably made a lot of difference tonight.

Makes those who said it was open season on the coach to boo him as soon as he appeared look very foolish and marginalised now.

Not me, I thought we'd win by 10 points.

Too true, didnt notice any booing at any stage just lots of encouragement - I thought there was a marked effort to back the team tonight which made me proud to be a Bulls fan tonight, and even when Leeds scored first the crowd still encouraged the team and the players definately responded to it.

As I've said on other threads, I expected us to take a hell of a kicking from Leeds tonight.

I've never been more happy to be wrong

I heard that a few times coming out of the ground and I completely agree.

I agree because we had something to be positive about.
Possibly. But i think every one hoped hat the players would be up for it anyway.
Why does it.

I never expected it, no. BUT THAT MAKES THE WIN EVEN SWEETER!!!!!!!

I’ll come clean..

My list made me look like an idiot! -
