No wonder Leigh have trouble in Yorkshire. They come over with the attitude of hunting heads, get the opposition to start fighting then take them apart when they are rattled. Bulls didn't fall for it and ran in 36 points with no half backs. If we do have to go to LSV don't see much of a problem.

I could see Barlow was trying to get one started with a few late shots but it didn't really happen ........ For all his faults I thought Childs did fine in policing most aspects of the game
Interesting game to say nothing at stake..... It may be that some recognised half backs in our colours could have made the difference but I'm glad they didn't play if there a
was any risk. Thought Addy was excellent especially considering who he was facing. Both teams should be working hard on defence or SL teams will have a field day.

Was Purtell withdrawn due to an injury?

I think overall Lowes and co will be pretty pleased with that performance. Players ran hard and actually looked like they wanted it today. Still some silly mistakes thrown in there that cost us some points but generally we looked a completely different side to the last few weeks. I thought Child had a decent game and like others have said it was a noticeable step up in refereeing standards.

Only negative was that moron Sam Hopkins dragging O'Brien up off the floor whilst he was down injured. You just don't do that if a player is down injured regardless of whether you believe the injury to be serious or not. Thankfully it wasn't a serious injury but disappointing to see nevertheless.

He had his thigh strapped at the end so I assume so.

Great game. Definitely a point gained for us as I gave us no chance with no half backs. Leigh looked beatable today and with a full team, I am way more confident then before.

Leigh were way better after half time when they cut out the stupid stuff. They should really just stick to playing.

Micky Higham was the game changer for them. His speed around the ruck during the first 20 minutes of the second half nearly killed us off.

To be fair, it was strapped during the match too.

Much much much improved today!! With Mullaney and Gaskell in the side we would have won comfortably. That said, doesn't mean once they are back for the 8's we'll automaticallyh win. Still need the performance to back it up.

Was a great game to watch in front of a great crowd. Both clubs putting a few SL clubs to shame today. Today's performance showed why the fans were so frustrated with the last couple of weeks, even months. We have a damn good side. Just not been performing.

We can beat anyone in those 8's:

Thought Adam Sidlow was immense.

Good game yes not great without halfbacks, add Gaskell and mullaney in the team and we would have won today.

I would be concerned if I was a Leigh supporter, full strength and no class on show other than Higham who's speed at the play the ball created 3 tries. Leigh were definitely not SL quality. How Addy got man of the match is beyond me. He has little idea of his positioning and was caught several times with no idea what to do. I thought Shaw should have picked up MOM.

We could have had potentially 2 tries if the backs had been switched on. All in all good effort from the lads and praise for not getting involved in Leighs attempts at thugary, which they believe is a weapon in there armory.

I think that Leigh spent too long listening to Lowes saying the game wasn't important and nearly suffered for it

Yes You lot played well today. I thought that we were winging it Today (no pun). Don't judge Leigh on this one performance though, we will be more focused for the 8s

Was I alone inthinking the shoton O'Brien was chest high but bounced up to his chin? Not as bad as all that.

Thought the ref had a decent game. Very enjoyable day. Feel more confident with Gaskell and Mullaney to come back.

Do we think Jake will be back? No news is usually bad news when it comes to reporting our injuries

As others have said, Gaskell and Mullaney would have made the difference today.

But to score 36 points against the best team in the division with no half backs is pretty impressive. On the other had, Leigh ought to be worried about conceding 36 to a team with no halfbacks. Leigh are a decent team - very impressive with the ball inland, but their defence lets in too many points....

Great effort from our guys today and I feel much more confident going into the 8's than I did a few hours ago

Does anyone know what happened to the fan in the provident stand looked serious from the pop side

Heart attack from what people are putting on Facebook.

I suggest you look at the table in the points conceded column. Also it looks like Bullseye is one of the few Bradford fans using both eyes. Lowes on Barlows tackle stated he had no problem with it and this was rugby league so get on with it.

Thought so looked like a bulls fan working on them, hope they pull through.

Sets the 8's up nicely and some great crowds, will you fit the Salford hordes in?

Should be fit for first 8's game.

Happened right next to us. Luckily, a doctor was sat near us and she immediately started chest compressions - she saved his life as it took a while for Security to get the paramedics to come. By the time he was carried to the top of the Stand, he was starting to come round. Still in a bad way tho'.

Smashing part-time teams is irrelevant. You let in 30 against Wakefield when they were on a shocking run of form and could barely score a try; you let in 24 against us in the first match of the season when our team hadn't played together before, and 36 today against a team with no half backs

If you don't think you have a defensive problem then fair enough, I guess we'll find out when we get to the 8s

Discussion we were having was:
If Shaw wasn't playing would we have lost?
If Mullaney had been playing would we have won by more tries?
Tough choice for Jimmy.
I still expect Seijka to be at 7 with Gaskell but we need to fit Ferguson, Olbison, Pitts and hopefully Mellor in at start for back row and bench so should we keep Addey at 7 just to fit Pitts in at loose forward from start?
I doubt Mullaney will be fit till second half of play-off's so Shaw should be safe in that position.

Who is the last Bradford player who could run as fast as Caro? Wow! if they can build on his other skills - which seemed OK, then he might just be worth keeping.

Firstly I will start by sending my best wishes to the fan who was taken ill during the game I sincerely hope he recovers,I myself was taken ill before our Warrington cup game , get well soon mate.
As for the game ,I'm sure Bradford will be more pleased with the result than Leigh , I enjoyed the game but it was far from a good performance by Leigh ,as a few of our players went missing during the game,however I'm happy with a point and enjoyed the day ,the Bulls fans are a good bunch and the crowd was a credit to the Championship,I'm not sure how the middle 8s work out , but I look forward to meeting again soon be at either at the LSV or Odsal.Thank you for an enjoyable day out .
