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.

How many of our GF 2005 squad did we lose in the off season and early into the next though?

R Paul
Peacock
Radford
Reardon
Pryce
Parker

Fielden
Withers
Noble

Our squad dynamics changed rapidly, Leeds have had ample time to plan, their plans of keeping all until retirement seemingly has left them short of character.

Nice one guys. I thoroughly enjoyed that.



Good luck in the rest of the competition!

They certainly appear to be financially sound, with well connected backers. That's something we've missed since Caisley's days. Makes the re-building process all the easier for them. Still, let's make the most of their plight, no matter how short lived!

I just couldnt resist!!

Congratulations on the win.

Honestly didn't give you guys a chance. This year is your first year back in the champ and you were always gunna find it a challenge to go up against the likes of Toronto, Widnes, Toulouse even York as well who you've had some belting games with. And on paper Leeds put out a very capable 17 with plenty of experience and pedigree, whilst they've been off colour this year they can still be very dangerous. But the old saying that the game ain't played on paper. Was nice to see a few old Cas boys who didn't get much game time do a solid job like Steve crossley and James green, but I'll always have a soft spot for Jake Webster who is a fantastic player to have in the championship as long as he's used sensibly and that seems to be how kear is using him, the old bull eh.
