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 ).

Wiggy from the hitman and her at Odsal!

No really obviously loads of great memories from the successful years but I'll never forget 2012.

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

Forshaw
Jimmy
JP
Joe
Stuart F
Withers

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!!)

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.

Yes, I do. I was always fond of "God is Withers" as well

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!!!

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!!!!!

Ediie Hemmings "will the rest of SL please take note" comment before the saints game was a goodun.

What a great thread

I've seen a lot of the Bulls as a neutral but unless Wakefield were playing would probably have been on the Bulls side.

I loved the awesome foursome and even more so the Robbie show.
Top moments would include Vainikolo (spell?) scoring on his last game and the Anderson hand off. But Lowes show in the World Club challenge was pretty special too.

So top player I'm picking Robbie.
Top moment I'll pick Vainikolo scoring six tries
Top game I'm leaning towards the challenge cup at Murrayfield

The MacAvoy chip over...er...who was it again...at Murrayfield was pretty special. Especially considering what MacAvoy did the rest of the time...

One moment I recall occurred at the very beginning of the Bulls .
I thought the decision of Brian Smith to name Jon Hamer in the side for Wembley somehow made fans realise that the new people at the club ( Smith Deakin ET al) recognised and would reward team loyalty and were about to create something special.

Paul Deacon

Bernard Dwyers teeth

I can barely remember last month, never mind all SL, but my proudest SL moment as a Cas fan (having had to check the year) was 1999 when Stuart Raper's unfancied team beat Wigan & Leeds away in the play-offs, only to lose to Saints in the semis. I can't remember what happened to Saints after that...

Think it all went downhill...

Me too!

I remember the immediate clear out of those not up to the job - which was about the entire 1995 squad barring;

Paul Medley
Jon Hamer (retired part way)
KARL FAIRBANK (Oh for him back today)

These three were players ahead of their time.

Fantastic days!

What about the good bit of business getting Dwyer,Nickle and Loughlin for Newlove plus 250,000 which no doubt let us get Spruce,McNamara and Jimmy Jimmy

Can remember the 3 Saints players having their photos taken on a freezing cold day at Odsal,they must of wondered what the hell they had done at the time

I think it also had something to do with Smith's brilliant approach to that game. A mate of mine knew Hamer and he told him that Smith's entire approach to the game was aimed at reducing the pressure on the players. Perhaps Smith feared we'd get a tonking and didn't want the game to assume too much importance. And he knew that Hamer was the sort of calm presence he needed. Hamer even told my mate a couple of days before the game that we would start the game with a long hoof downfield on our first possession. He didn't know why, just that we would.

One long lasting memory for me is Peter Deakin

I knew him before he was at the Bulls, just because I used to buy my Open Rugby magazine at the office down near the bus station.
I used to always stop and talk rugby with him and Harry but not like we were personal friends.

When at Bulls a couple of years later, he saw me walking round the top end of the stand and said hello and knew me by name. That impressed me for a start.
We had a chat about Bradford and the various activities at Bradford and Wakefield. He said things were about to change. There were some moans about the "steam Pig" and the loud music they were playing for the players at the time.
He said, in a very sagely but excited way that he expected to lose a couple of thousand of the old cloth cap briggade with what he planned but would gather 10,000 in their place.
He was proved right of course and I felt he was a massive part of the Bulls growth.
Glad to see his name mentioned a few times above.
