What Adeybull meant with this comment taken from the VT?



Surely not an over-reaction to Tansey's try at MM?

Proberly right there fella ;

Leeds have always been cheats !!
And if i asked a leeds fan if that was a try they still would proberbly awnser "yes"

Also no leeds fan would come to watch 'the mighty bulls' play a world cup game

More likely to do with the "Harrisgate"

I've said this many times.

Ask Chris Caisley.

Its historical.

You would never get a Leeds fan supporting Bradford so why would you expect a bradford fan to support Leeds?

Bless your cotton socks.

Deffo agree !

Why are leeds even on our forum ! Pi$$ off

Why would any Bradford fan worth the name support Leeds in a club game?

It's not England v Australia remember.

I don't support Leeds, but I still want British RL to do well. And as they are representing our competition then I hope they can beat the Aussies.

Precisely. People seem to forget that. I said the same when we were playing in it, I really don't care who else supports us and who doesn't. It's a club game, not an international game.

I don't agree that Leeds are representing our country or our league. It's simply a "super cup" style competition where it's champion of one competition against champion of another. No different to the European Super Cup in football (Champions League winner vs. Europa League winner).

Given that it's a club match you can support whoever you want I reckon. I tried supporting Leeds in the past in these games and end up sporting an Aussie accent and cheering on their opponents.

Leeds fans have short memories. They were always there in numbers at our WCC finals and nearly all were cheering openly for the Aussies.
Now the boot is on the other foot it has suddenly become GB v Australia and a major crime to cheer for the "wrong" side.

Whilst i like to see the Aussies lose it's not us playing so i can not get excited about it

I once tried to support the Rhino's . . . . . I think it was in a Grand Final.

I'm all better now though



C'mon The Storm !

Good luck Melbourne!

storm all the way!

I hope they show exactly why they are nrl champions and play the fast flowing rugby i love to watch!

Hating rhino's is for life, not just for the majority of the year!

Hating Rhinos - or anyone - is pretty inappropriate and ineffective, I'd say?

I despise their club hierarchy - that is a different thing to "hate" - but I do not hate the club or their fans (most of whom, apart from Damo obviously, are decent normal folk like us). I'd just rather they lost rather more than they won, like they used to and like no doubt one day they will again as the wheel turns.

So what have Leeds done to Bradford that is so bad then?

Well, Jamie Jones-Buchanan's carpet ears for one. They're an offence to anyone in surrounding areas.

At the risk of being provocative I'd suggest that Bradford Bulls and their early SL success wouldn't have happened without the likes of Hetherington, who was one of the strongest proponents of the move to summer rugby and the adoption of the salary cap.

I'd say the Bulls themselves with the likes of Deakin, Smith, Elliott and Caisley had quite a bit to do with the instigation of summer rugby and the Bulls early success too.

The Leeds board used to be full of it IIRC...............

Your either 10 years old or live on the other side of the planet.
If you've lived and grown up in either Bradford or Leeds then you know of the rivallry over the past 100 years or so.

Why do Liverpool dislike Everton or ManU. Or ManU dislike Man City, Arsenal / Tottenham, Hull FC / Hull KR etc etc.

Its local rivallry simple as.

I had problems with this last season. GB vs Australia - great. England vs Australia - I ended up basically supporting Sam Burgess, with studied neutrality for everything else that went on. It was a strange game. The Sam Burgess team started that match really well and then fell apart. When Sam got substituted I went and got a mug of tea.
