Far to slow off the mark there...

| Fav game- has to be the 99 game against Leeds
Fav moment - winning the title at Sheffield in 97, running on the pitch being chased by a steward closely followed by the GF in 2005
Fav player - James Lowes

The most upset I've ever been at a Rugby Game was the 8-6 GF loss to Saints. I trudged back to my car so hard I left furrows in the tarmac.

Embrace it. Let's have a sing song. Mammaries, like the corner of my mind. Misty watercoloured Mammaries, of the way we were..

Cheers for that, now I have memories of all the times we have been horrendously stitched up by refereeing decisions in big games.

Yeah that was utterly grim too. Mind you, the only time I have had a genuine saler eyeball moment is on holiday reading that we'd gone into Admin. Made GF losses seem somehow irrelevant.
Who's Next?

| Memorable moment 1: Bernard Dwyer playing his final match with a torn bicep the tears the other and was virtually throwing stumps at the opposition.
Memorable moment 2: The look on Lesley's face when having already scored 5 against Hull they kicked off straight too him. As he caught the ball you could tell here comes number 6.

| Game: Halifax away in '97. The Halifax player who taunted Spruce and the Halifax fans that spent the best part of 60 mins taunting me made it very sweet.
Moment: Lesley's length of the field try at Leeds
Player: Lowes

| All the memories good and bad is about all I can say, after all the emotion and absolute "oneness" we share in those posts.
I can't top anything there, excepting the Nathan Mc Avoy punt kick and his gathering the ball behind the Leeds defender to score a fabulous try, at the Murrayfield cup final...fabulous.
But I didn't see Pumpety's Mammary experience?

| Another: Sean Long's fantastic swallow drive @ Knowlsley Road and dropping the ball as he landed 3 feet short. We got battered but it was worth it for that moment alone.

| Game -Wigan 6 Bulls 37 iOld Trafford 2001. With my best mate and his dad who have both since passed away. One of those nights where everything went right -- apart from he last conversion from Mackay . I stood to win 180 quid if the winning margin was between 26 and 30 points.
Moment - seeing Trevor Fosters face on the big screen at Murrayfield after we'd just beaten Leeds. Lump in my throat to see my old coach and the man who started my involvement with League
Favourite player-- so difficult to choose from so many greats. Can't choose between Jimmy and Henry ( that is Paul not Adam ).

| God, what a challenge!!
Favourite games, so many, but a selection
Leeds - CC semi 96, OMG, where did that come from!!
Wigan - Odsal 96, beating them with 12 men, Bull power had landed
Halifax - Away - 97. Elliotts wobbly moment after match
Sheffield - Away 97 - fantastic night
Penrith Home 97 - defeat but what an atmosphere, place felt like a pressure cooker!
Leeds CC Murrayfield - 2000 a day (if I had to vote for one, this would get it!)
Sts Away 2000- after the pain of Withers knock on
Sts Home - both matches at VP 2001 - fantastic games, especially Rigon blasting Long aside to score
Wire away - 2001 (2nd game) - we played like a team from another planet that night!
Wigan GF - 2001 - best all round performance - no chokers that night
Leeds Home 2012 - no way they were going to beat us
Wigan away 2012 one of proudest night as a supporter
Fave moment - some mentioned above, but add
Anderson hand off on Connolly
Leeds sending all 4 subs on at same time that night to stem the tide!
Big Les scoring on farewell at Headingley in another win
Hape in corner at Sts in 2005 has to be up there
Reardon charging McGuire into touch in 2003
HP's performance v Sts at home in 99, still best individual performance I've ever seen in a Bulls/Northern shirt, including seeing most of Hanley's 55 tries in 85!!
Bradley smacking Farrell when he mucks about at a play the ball as Scales score final try in 96 at Odsal (oh for a player like Bradley at the moment!!!)
Withers drop goal v Leeds
Withers hat trick try in GF
Fave player
Obvious ones
HP - the best!
Robbie - especially when he moved in 4 doors away
Bradley
Lowes
Forshaw
Jimmy
JP
Joe
Stuart F
Withers
Sam!
Less obvious
Ian Henderson - rescued 2005!
Naylor (love reading in Robbie's book about he treated Renouf in 2001 GF!)
Brad Mackay - for 2/3 of season he was best player in league by a mile!
Danny Peacock - did any player run a better line!
Plus too many to mention
Should we add a couple of new categories
Players who gave their all but weren't very good
Platt
Ainscough
Zisti!!!!!!!
Players you didn't rate, but really regret losing now
Ferres
Bridge
Atkins (didn't know him, never mind didn't rate him!!)

| Quote ="Errol Stock"Feb 1996 v Leigh Away CC - first time I witnessed what was coming. Playing to a plan - not seen in decades, attacking, attractive, expansive rugby. Robbie Paul finding his form.
March 1996 v Leeds CC semi - NOBODY KNEW (apart from Bulls faithful) what was to be unleashed that day. I still have the BBC pre-match "expert" opinions that 100% tipped Leeds for a win. Absolutely best moment in 30 years, couldn't stop crying at full time and its bring a lump to my throat as type now.
May 1996 v Saints CC Final - never gave a stuff about the result - fantastic day and burst with pride. Still can see RP scoring that second half try and Jon Scales powering down the wing.
July 1996 v Saints at Odsal - packed stadium - hairs on back of my neck stood up as the team came onto the pitch, shaking with emotion as Bulls totally disected Saints to win 50 - 22.
I cannot argue that some of your memories are up there for me too.
But for me - 1996 was the most exciting year of my 50 years following the game.
Watching the transformation overseen by Chris Caisley, Brian Smith and Peter Deakin was tantamout to a miracle given the previous decades of mediocrity and the fickle folk of Bradford who at best are difficult to attract.
There are moments from that year burned into my brains and still make me emotional now.
I doubt I will live long enough to experience anything like that again.'"
hear, hear, it was a vintage year, even though we won nothing and finished 4th! Fantastic memory of KO against Wigan being put back 15-20 minutes because of queues to get in!!!

Ditto, 96 CC Final (we threw it away!), 99 GF and 2002 seemed bad at the time, but.........now feels so much worse!

This. For a heady mix of rugby and personal reasons.

This. Likewise.

| I'm going to say my fondest memory is Wigan at home 2010, 20-0 down in the first half getting the flack in ear from my Wigan supporting ex, then for the ox show to kick into gear and hall to crash over with minutes left to play and 22-20 win, with the atmosphere and the chills after it was fantastic.
Crappest mooment is throwing 30-6 halftime lead away against Wigan at home in the CC.
The volcano or champagne shontayne for me.

| For me, it wasn't a game or result, or even a piece of individualistic brilliance. No, the banner saying, "Thanks to Bradford Bulls for the highs and thanks to Leeds Rhinos for the Lowes", [I'm sure you can all remember it gets the award. Just brilliant.

| Too many to pick out one moment or game, but fave players have to include Danny peacock, Grahame Bradley and James lowes who IMO have no peers in a bulls shirt for their positions since inception of super league.( Bradley as skipper just in the side anywhere, played with a passion that inspired) Henry Paul has to be the best half we've had and the Aussie forwards that have played have been a joy to watch, brad Mackay, Morrison, Menzies, Gardner, Meyers. Quality in the back row would love a couple of these today!!!

| Quote ="Mirfieldbull"Less obvious

Totally agree on that. A lot of people at the time thought it was Hape that made the difference that season. Personally I thought he was more talismanic, but signing Hendo (was it midway through the year?) was what really did it IMO - the first proper decent replacement for Jimmy we had.
Heath was a very similar player for us too, always thought he'd have gone great guns for us if the time had been right. As an aside, I think Heath has been our "most missed" this year - think we'd have been in the mix a bit more with his never say die attitude.
Another top moment that came to mind today when Karl Pratt was doing the half time draw was when he scored for us at Odsal in that 2003 thrashing and he started winding the Leeds fans up! Did like the Anderson fend, although wish it had happened to a more hated player - always quite liked Connolly.

| From a Leeds perspective...
Sinfield opting not to take the 2
Harris single handedly winning for Leeds at Odaal
Ryan Sheridan ball steal
Getting thrashed at Hudds in CC semi. Leeds were smashed in 1st 20 mins
Your Awesome Foursome pack
Finally...a memory that will live long in the memory for Leeds/bradford fans.....
JORDAN TANSEY!!!!!
