Got goosebumps hearing the applause at the end of the game, surely that will lift our season?

Dave Halley played wonderfully, absolutely perfect performance from him.
Jefferies really stood up in the absence of Deacon, was very impressed with the kicking game, was the best in a long time.

Sykes needs to practice goal kicking.

Fantastic game, I could close my eyes at the final whistle and just feel ultimate elation



Discuss.

Bloody marvellous!

No doubt there will be inquests over the vidref decisions. No doubt the hordes who do not wish us well will say Leeds played crap. No doubt all sort of nonsense will be spouted, especially by the the fifth column on here.

But no-one can possibly argue with the effort and commitment and team-spirit tonight. Nobody! Surely?

Very proud to be a Bulls fan tonight!

Was like we won grand final at end of game...give mcnamara a contract extension lol..best british young coach ever..m.e where are you???

First of all what a cracking game, and they were saying on sky earlier that this derby match had lost meaning!

Leeds never got going, they looked tired and out of soughts but to our credit we never let them get going. We controlled the speed of the game and the forwards were awesome. Cook was truely immense, he put in tackle after tackle and never put a foot wrong, after Lynch went off he really took control, for me he was the man of the match.

Some of the decisions were dubious and we had luck on our side with a couple of decisions but boy did we deserve the result, at the end of the day we wanted it more and that showed. If we could kick goals it would of been over much earlier.

Well done the lads, this doesn't change the fact it has been a poor start to the season but it's a giant leap in the right direction, looking forward to the trip to Wakey on Monday now.

excellent result tonight refs were spot on, brilliant move leaving platt on the bench, dave halley was superb, another thing i was very pleased to see was that macca was out on the field as we were warming up and in the dug out for the whole game, and the fact we played for 80 mins, jefferies wa spot on tonight, he really is showing his worth now just hope we keep it up now

Amazing. Goal kicking really needs to be sorted though!! Can't believe we held on, and we had to get some luck at some point with decisions we've been on the rough edge of them for a while, but technically to the law and rule books the decisions were correct just would have been the other way round maybe without a video ref.

After what happened last week he could have said "sod it" He was totally p**sed off after the Catalan game but after today with some more injuries to Nero and Lynch it looked like the same old story but they pulled through so good luck to him..

Get in, brilliant win

Must admit that I*m suprised at Paul Sykes because he seemed one of the better goalkickers in Superleague when playing down in London but luckily tonight it did*nt bite back at you.

Great result, cracking game, excellent atmosphere.
Well played.
I didn't expect that!

So go on then....

why was Leeds second "try" disallowed? The knock on for the third one, yup, clear as day, but not sure about the other.

Something to do with offside somewhere?

Good evening everyone...............

Mine was




Get some consistency to match the effort and skill on show tonight and we should start to move up the table.

They said it was pulled back for him being off side, ahead of the play off the ball. Seen so many tries stand like that so a strange decision.

Yeah I know that one, it was the other one I meant.

Webb made no attempt to get back onside, in the NRL its cheating, Webb knows this yet still tried to say it was leagle, as someone else has said, is it ok for all 12 players to stand in the bulls line waiting for the ball carrier to get in front of them while they stand about doing nothing catching a break?

yeah i know replyed before reading fully, sorry about that

No probs. I'll let you off, I'm in a good mood tonight!

He gave it for Brent Webb being offside when Leeds played the ball he was infront of the play the ball he was never onside.

Great game from a neutrals view.Got some calls which you would not have had if the game had not been on Sky IMO,but overall i thought you deserved the win.Glad we have been to your place already as i don't think many more teams will be going away from yours with the points.

Well done

Mate we're not in the NRL, just saying that I see tries given like that all the time. The last decision was more dubious for me but at the end of the day I'm just happy with the result of the game.

for those fans that dont understand why the offside one wasnt given its because webb made no attempt to get back onside, cracking game

fair enough there were a few dodgy calls but you got to only look at the saints wigan game same for that imo if not worse, i thought the last leeds no try was only just a knock on but could tell the ball was just about travelling forward which deemed it to be a knock on, fair play to bradford though would never of expected that win

It's amazing what can be achieved when the plan doesn't involve channelling everything through a past it scrum half, and when there isn't a clown at the back constantly handing over the initiative.

Poor quality game, in comparison to the other two derbies over the weekend, but at least there was a bit of pride and effort in the performance and a lot more backbone on show than in recent times.

Good game and good luck for the rest of the season!

Glad the result did'nt come down to Sykes kicking, He played well otherwise.
Much better structured defence than previous games and excellent one up and group tackling.
Great use of plays to to gain field position, and Halley helped in this with swift returns
Few occasions of errors and penalties kept us on he front foot and Leefds having to work out of their own 25 so many times.
Credit to all of our forwrds but Matt Cook shold have beem MOM in my opinion for an awesome stint of tackling
