Forget about "how bad Leeds were" and give praise to our boys who were magnificent. A wonderful performance but in the grand scale of things winning was not the be all and end all.

Big game, big crowd, on the telly. We gave people the chance to believe again. People who will hopefully continue to follow and take us up again.

Sadly I was in Bradford last week or else I would have been along to enjoy it.

Perfect.

(we would have blown it if McNamara was still in charge though..

)

Evenin' PP (one that, it is to be assumed, is proving to be a very good one for all RL fans with a BD postcode). O to be in The Fighting Cock tonight!

Yes, Bongser gets the endgame wobbles too. Usually reserved for Leigh games but today for your boys. At work with a coupla sneaky tabs up for both Leeds' & your Twitter feeds.

After the Briscoe try went unconverted to leave you still two to the better and there was then another close shave, the Rhinos tweeted that there were 90 seconds still on the match clock. There followed all too many minutes of Twitter silence until, unsurprisingly The Bulls were the first to tweet the FT score.

Delighted to lose points in both the Leigh & Warrington forum prediction leagues and looking forward to watching the greatest Bulls triumph for many years(with the possible exception of getting rid of Green!)

Enjoy the party!

Well I was wondering if you were as there were a few Bulls Jocks behind us . That's put that to bed.

Great performance though, Eddie.

Well, who expected that. Honestly. Wow. What a performance, full of passion and pride. What a team. Just brilliant.

But Leeds, oh dear, what on Earth is going on there? How bad were they? And I don’t get the Hurrell hype. What a waste of space he was.

But let’s take nothing away from the Bulls. Well done guys. Brilliant today.

Very determined today from us and it was clear we wanted it more.

A real team performance.... I can’t help thinking that the signs are there to show JK has made the right call by putting his faith in Milnes / Lilley.

Thrilled Lilley got MOM but also lots of credit to Milnes. Some great kicks from him and well done for taking over the kicking duties with no fear in the biggest match of his career to date.

Thought it was Greens best game for us and strong running as always from Crossley and Pelts.

Great day for us, let’s hope a few fans may decide do come back off the back of the win (and drawing Fax would be nice in the QF )

As a Leigh fan, well done.

Absolutely made up for both Bradford and the Championship. Well deserved.

Cracking result Bradford! Get back in Super League before those Canadians! Hkr fan!

Interesting point I picked up whilst watching back the replay this evening on BBC iPlayer. Jamie Peacock in the post-match interview states that Leeds have told their squad this week who will be staying and who's going at the end of the season. Nobody called Jordan Lilley personally to tell him the news, his agent was asked to inform him of his release. That obviously spurred on Lilley during today's game, it could also explain why some of the Leeds players that now know they won't be playing a part in 2020 are performing so badly.

It does appear to be a bit of a 'jobs for the boys' mentality at Headingley at the moment. Sinfield, Peacock and Chev Walker all involved today. You'd assume that if they really wanted it, Jones Buchanan and Burrow could walk into a job. Perhaps therein lies the problem.

Anyway, what a glorious afternoon of Rugby League.

Think Burrow coaches their u19s?

Anyone who has watched Hurrell in the NRL knows he is dangerous with ball in hand but woeful defensively. His weaknesses can be exploited easily and it sounds like Webster's try was a result of such weakness.

Released by the Warriors, released by the Titans and his most famous video highlight not related to rugby!

it did make me chuckle to hear your fans shout forward again

In the year that we celebrate 20 years since 24,020 saw Mick Withers score a last minute drop goal to beat Leeds we go and do that. Brilliant.

Yesterday was amazing, I was happy when we won the play off final last year but that was more relief than anything. This was just pure joy and a game I will remember forever, such a great result for the club and fans that have put up with so much rubbish for so long.

The build up, the pre-match buzz and the game itself, everything went perfectly. Hats off to everyone involved, they will have done the club so much good yesterday in the stepping stones of recovery.

The performance was outstanding. Can’t wait for the rest of the season now!

Enjoyed that especially the Ghost of Trevor Foster moving the goal kick onto the post at the end! JK worked his "Magic" one again in the CC. Great to see a decent crowd back in Odsal hopefully this will encourage a few more to become regulars again. A bit more of a Cup run will help assuage the fact the Bulls are not SL standard yet, so hopefully we don't get another one in the QF but go out in a blaze of glory in the semi's unless the fates decree we get to the Final!

Here's a picture of yesterday's man of the match

Well.

I was at a wedding yesterday so couldn't watch. Saw the score updates coming through on my phone though and to say pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. Sufficed to say it made the day even better and unfortunately my head this morning that much worse. Now going to watch the recording with a cup of tea, a bacon sandwich and some paracetamol.

We're all part of Kear's army, we're all going to Wembley!!

If you head over to the Rhinos forum the inquest has begun in earnest. I neither support nor oppose this behaviour, but it is amusing seeing RagingBull doing a good job of winding the Leeds fans up, with quips such as:

"Imagine getting ripped apart by one of your OWN players"

Feel a bit hungover.

Gotta admit Im still proper buzzing my moobs off. Glad without hangover though.

Just for those of us who like to gloat in private, while feeling charitable towards our near neighbours, take a glimpse at the Rhino's Gaz H falling on his sword, while defending his boy... https://www.therhinos.co.uk/2019/05/12/ ... herington/

What else can GH say at this point?
They'll survive in SL thanks to London being so poor (seriously, where have they spent their central funding?!) but the squad is just not good enough for anything above a 7th or 6th place finish at best, so it could take a while before they are back challenging for silverware.

The transition from the golden generation was always going to be tough, but to say that they've made some poor decisions along the way would be an understatement.

That transition was always going to be difficult. It was the same for us after 2005.

Yes, it's likely to be a long old haul back to the top of superleague. Pity they'll likely miss the drop. I really do enjoy Leeds Bradford derbies above everything else!

I don't think they're anywhere close to the mess we got into though. They still have a good youth setup and strong financially. They've just made some bad recruitment and coaching appointments. Luckily they've got some good young players who with a few good signings will steady the ship. This year will be painful but they've got enough quality to stay up.
