Did we take a 20 - 0 lead with that prediction by any chance?

18, we score a penalty in the 41st

06 or 07. It was you're centenary. quite fitting a draw actually. Even though us (Leeds) were favourites I actually had a smile on my face.

Obviously we will take a win,but in the possibility of us maybe losing what would most prefer?


1. A narrow loss, having led for the whole game?
or
2. A 50 point plus hammering, with us having no chance from the off?

Which will be less painful?

I can understand people claiming we are going to get a right thrashing, it lessens the pain if we do lose, but I don't think it will be the case.

Leeds are a better team than us, and most in SL, but they aren't that good and with no Donald or Smith their backline, where they have a big advantage, is blunted a little. Given the likely weather conditions our pack has to perform and if they do it should be a reasonably close encounter.

After the last two results, and the circumstances they came about in, the players shouldn't need much motivating or coaching to play well tonight, it should be a matter of personal and professional pride.

That's right.. And depressing!

Pretty sure since then though we've played a lot more game vs Leeds away than home though.

And this team shouldn't get battered. Leeds are hardly playing their best.

As already said, the players should have a bit of pride after the recent collapses.

Bradford 6-58 Leeds

Win, lose or draw, I would hope for the intensity of effort from both sides befitting of what i've always remenbered as the very best competed "derby" in SL (actually long before SL).
Hope the bradford players have been made aware that this is the big one, all else is fluff in comparison.
Come on you guys, make us proud of you!

I'd be more than happy if we could produce the same sort of stuff as the Hull/KR and Wigan/Saints games.

I can't see us winning but I'm not expecting a pasting either.

bradford 16 - 42 leeds

I think it could well be close, especially if it keeps raining. I can't see us winning, but I think we'll do OK

Bulls 14-Leeds 22

It's a sign of the times that we'll probably be reasonably happy with that

Leeds to win 42-10. I have say that this is worst bulls team I've seen for years.

Hope I'm wrong but I don't think so.

My head says Leeds by about 20 but I'm going with my heart so Bulls 22 - 18 Leeds.

come on Bulls ,turn the Whinos over!

Bradford 16 48 Leeds

who'd have thought that 6 - 6 at half time???

Well you were!

Haha, you wish

. Put 48 over that defence?

Well done ewwen fella you kept the faith and the banter going and believed in yer team.
Well done.

Think you called this one pretty accurately, Asim - a very astute post, Sir.

For what it's worth I felt Bradford got quite lucky with a couple of video ref decisions. But to be honest that probably makes a change - and anyhow on the telly JJB's try looked to come off an absolute blatant forward pass.

The small group of you on here who could reasonably be described as "staunch" supporters must feel pretty chuffed right now. And rightly so.

Enjoy. Its a start.

thanks mate. At least you havent been at those sour grapes, bet therell be more banter before the match at shedingley now weve shown you whose boss

Look forward to it mate!!
Do you think this will buy mcnamara more time or will the majority of bulls fans still be screaming for his head in a fortnight??
P.s I think it's the latter.

after that he wont get the sack unless we lose our next 10

Before you know it he'll have a fountain in the city centre!!

Hopefully, if we all throw our pennies in he might sign us a new half-back.
