Any new bans from today won't kick in til after Tuesday as disciplinary doesn't meet before then. Bateman at least back for Doncaster game plus I'd imagine a couple of u20s getting a run out.

Awesome night, players put so much in. Well done to both sets of players and fans.

On a personal note a big big thank you to everyone who put anything in my bucket

(I was stood by the beer stand behind the popular terrace) and the other buckets, it was quite humbling to see what people were donating. I had people putting twentys in, tenners in, kids emptying pockets, and one chap just opened up and tipped in the contents of his wallet! I reckon I got £300 plus easy just in my bucket, we had about 20 buckets so thats a decent wedge towards the total.

Well done to all on the Bullbuilder board for helping organise it, and well done and thanks again if you chipped in.

Very proud to be a Bradford Bulls supporter tonight, heres to good news tomorrow now!

Ok, so that's Hargreaves free for Monday then. Makes that 16 then I think.

Honestly I thought both sides were pretty poor coming forward tonight, and both sides were clearly lacking some creative influence. Leeds really missed McGuire and Burrow, and the sooner we get Gale back the better.
There were times when we just looked to have no co-ordination whatsoever, passes going to ground, poor kicks and plenty of dropped ball. Thankfully Leeds were just as clueless.

MP obviously had a word with them at HT and we came out with a bit more direction and aggression in the 2nd half.

Lulia was awesome, yet again. Did really well to put Ainscough away and kept Watkins very quiet all night, he also put some really big hits in too which is nice to see.

Hargreaves will probably get a ban, it looked a bad tackle. We also lost Joseph, Pryce and possibly Ainscough to injury too!

Thought Hargreaves was careless not malicious, still looking at a couple of games off though

Emotional week ending with a magnificent performance from the players, who never tuck a backward step all night! Jamie Langley was imence and deserved the mom award, lead from the the front and showed the knockers why he is so important to this club!

Hopefully the lap Of honour wasn't a goodbye, because I think everyone knows a rocking odsal can't be emulated by anyone!!!!

That's why I love this club!!!!

COYB

Potter reckons it might be a case of mistaken identity, apparently.

Yes. I did it. Ban me.

Another absolutely stunning effort from this group of players. They have given more performances this year than we saw in all of 10/11. Really proud of this group, they dug in and found a way to win the points. Praying for some good news tomorrow, not sure what I'll do if it's all been in vain.

Surely we have done enough, I don't think we could of done much more to save this club.

Love Adeybull's first post. A night I'll never forget for numerous reasons:

Had a weird day. Eldest in hospital all pm query meningitis.

My 5 year old twins played at half time on the hallowed turf on what could be the last game there in front of 21,000 people.

Then that amazing match. Seen better rugby but never more passion and commitment. I'm bloody knackered. Proud, humbled and so hopeful.......

Edited for greater accuracy...



I may be doing a dis-service to the end of 2008/9 , in fairness.

WOW- UNBEFECKINLEAVABULL!!

That's all I can say.

I'm proud to be a Bulls supporter tonight and the team should be equally proud of themselves.
Not a classic game by either side for champagne rugby, but one of determination and defensive passion.
Well done to Potter and the players to keep a constant defensive structure to keep Leeds out.

Its been a long time since us fans have been able to show our players what the experience of playing at Odsal is like.

Many, many thanks to the Leeds supporters who added to the experience, and thanks also to the supporters of other clubs who were there in numbers. The back of the main stand looked like the United Nations.

Whatever the future of the club, as Adey said, a night when I can always say "I was there"

Very unhappy about losing. Happy for the bulls and their fans. Very f*****g unhappy about the tackle... #Retribution..

And yes I did walk in the wrong dressing room after. That f*****g tackle had rattled me.. See you Rhinos Fans Monday.

Few tweets from JP. Don't think Bryn will be getting an Easter egg from him any time soon....

I can maybe see why Leeds continued to drive down the middle after ther Hargreave's sending off (Bulls having one less forward defender) but this was an area of attack that had not been productive for the whole game.
IMO swinging the ball wider might have been more productive against 12 men. In this phase and the game in general the lack of Burrows and Maguire to dictate play left Leeds one dimensional.

Seventh in the Table!

Level with Leeds on points! (OK they a game in hand, but they ARE the Champions!)

ABOVE Saints!

You couldn't make it up.

Surprised to see us a 7th, was expecting us to sneak into 8th.

I am ho. I am so impressed by the management and players, COYB

I think Duffy should get Lee Briers to write on Hargreaves behalf saying it wasn't intentional and he wasn't hurt.
If they can believe the fiction he wrote for Wellens why not Hargreaves!icon_wink.gif or even better shuffle across the carpet at Sod Hall imploring leniency

His work rate has been improving all year but he was immense tonight.

So proud to be a Bulls supporter tonight, the work rate & effort
was immense. Just hope we can back it up at Widnes on Monday.
To the 17 who turn out, get plenty of padding round the elbows/knees.

Thankyou.

To the players for the effort. The never say die attitude in defence.

To the Rhinos fans & players. For contributing to a great night, one we can look back on as proud RL supporters.

Last but not least, to the Bulls fans. Great support tonight, maybe not the loudest ever but we turned up in numbers, we let the players hear us and I saw plenty of donations. What made my night was a lady asking for donations to 'save the bulls' near one of the burger vans behind the pop terrace. A little lad (7 or

said to his mum "can we save the bulls, I want to come again" This club has to be saved, so they can be lucky enough to experience what we already have. To see what this great club is capable of.

Have to mention Lulia, Hargreaves & Elima tonight. The first is rapidly becoming one of the best defensive centres in SL, and knows how to put his winger into space too. The last two have shown what we've been missing in the pack for years. It was an awful tackle, but not intentional. Bryn had an excellent game, and apart from losing his cool for a second so did Elima. The aggression is there again, and I believe it is down to them willing to fight for our club.

I'm going to bed a very, very happy man. I love this club.

Bryn has been consistently good since the Wigan home game, it's a shame he's likely to be missing from the Widnes game as we are now down to three props assuming Joseph wasn't too badly injured.

I was critical of Hargreaves last year but he has been more like the player he was at Saints this season and is currently showing why Potter signed him in the first place.
