| 20 all was when we lost the game.
Leeds were all over the place and we were well on top. Coaching staff decide on the shot at goal, deacon fails to get the ball dead and ryan hall makes a big return that gets them fired up again leading to a penalty and a soft try.
Personally thought the decision to take the 2 point option was wrong given how far out it was. 20 yards further in and it's a no brainer but Deacon in the past has failed to make touch from kicks in that area.
Can't have too many complaints tonight cause we simply aren't as good as Leeds. Given all the effort we showed it's a real shame to come away with sweet fa.

| Really pleased with that performance. We dominated the back to back champions for large periods of the game and didn't make too many errors. Not too many complaints about ref either, just that he missed a fair few head highs from Leeds. Tbh the scoreline didn't reflect the game as I feel we did do a lot right and played better than Leeds for the majority of the game. If I were Leeds I'd be a little worried that the back to back championship winning side was dominated for large parts by a team in 12th. I can now see why Leeds are near the bottom of the fairplay index though.
Tadulala's try has to be congratulated though, it was brilliant.

It was another game though that we lost when we could have won. That's the worrying thing. It's definitely not a team you'd expect in 12th. No sky made Sheriffe's no try a big call.

I just can't help thinking that we are missing a certain something; we can dominate teams and keep possesion and then force the errors but we can't seem to find the tryline often enough.

It was clear from 120 yards away that it wasn't a try.

Do you know what I really think the problem is. A lack of confidence. After all the pressure that's been on this year it's hardly surprising but with Saints and Leeds finished with for this year it's now time to go for it. I think that the performances have actually improved over the past two games despite the two defeats and if the performances are there the points come with it.
We'll be alright just watch.

| Gutted in all honesty. It was there for the taking. I thought the 2 points was a fair call, get it or not, we should, should get the ball back, but bl00dy typically of our luck, its not dead and bang. Still had chances to level it or nick it. A nice big call of forward from the South Stand to give Bentham no choice then a few risky moves to force it and it all over.
Still, its the story of our season really, the better side for lots of the game and coming away with nothing.
Is it a coincidence that the two top sides in the comp look to be two of the "dirtiest" I wonder? High shots galore again and nothing done. I wonder if the Bulls need a big more mongrel, its obviously working.
Good game though. Well played all.

| A very entertaining contest with both sides enjoying dominant spells. I thought we did very well to get our noses in front but like the penalty in the 1st minute.. I felt we should have ran with it. Our defence is still leaky and against teams like Saints and Leeds I feel we should be attacking their line as much as possible. Ok we came away with 2 points with the first penalty but we're then back deep in our own half. The Deacon miss and then failing to get it dead was a big blunder and that was obviously the turning point.
I think we can learn a bit from Leeds, their pressure building was better than ours and forced us to drop out on numerous occasions. When you're riding high, then the bounce of the ball often goes in your favour. I felt tonight that the bounce was nearly always in the Rhino's favour.
But we once again showed that when we cut out the silly errors we aren't a bad side and can play some decent Rugby. We now need to take these enthusiasm and effort levels into our remaining games. We have plenty of winnable games in there if we can continue with this level of performance.

| A good performance from us tonight, could have really done with the result though. Got to kick on now though and not slip into making really numb errors. For me, what lost it was the first 25 mins, simply gave them to many soft points, carried them down the field and just couldnt get ourselves going.

| For the majority of the game Bradford played really well, bar that period in the first half where we decided to simply switch off and let Leeds run in a series of soft tries.
Overall a very good game, came away disappointed but not disheartened. I genuinely think that is a game where I can accept a line from McNamara saying we can take a lot of positives away from that game.
Re Sheriffe's disallowed try, I'd have liked to have seen it on the replay too, as would I have liked to see Hall's first as that was pretty close to the flag. It probably would have confirmed the decisions, but it's always nice to be sure in those circumstances.

Not saying it was a try, but get away thinking it was a clear cut decision.

| You can't expect to beat any team especially Leeds when you give them a 16 point start and that's what we did.

Exactly
Take the first 15 mins out of the game and we're 16 points better off.
They beat us then. No surprise we looked a better side without newton tho

| Leeds should have had 50 tonight we bombed a few which let you back into the game but as soon ad you got a sniff Leeds moved up a gear and the game was ours! Bentham kept you in it with a outrageous lopp sided penalty count!! Leeds were no way worse than the bulls but Bentham couldn't help his self!! I'm not worried at all as you had so many sets on our line and didn't look like scoring!! Well done to the bulls big effort but not good enough to win. If I were a bulls fan I would be outraged and disgusted that your team can give it's all against Leeds one week and look disinterested for the best part of 17 games!! Bradford in he play off's?? Not a chance

although i didnt see the game, i think its a bit early to be writing the bulls off for the play offs. after all they have beaten saints and leeds this season they will make the play offs mark my words.

| No they won't!! That's the problem!! The bulls think They are the business but can't get the job done against teams who they think they have a right to beat!! It's no good putting ya body on the line against Leeds and saints but getting turned over by most other teams!! This fact alone is an insult to the true bulls fans who pay their hard earned cash to watch a shower of $hite who have the odd good game against the so called big two!!

That's twice in about 24 hours that you've insulted me, please stop it, you're hurting my feelings. I think I might cry.
It doesnt take a right lot to rattle the wannabe experts cage does it, one mention of Keef and he's off throwing insults left, right and centre, bless his little cotton socks. Oh, what I'd give to have an infactuation with a pro rugby player again.

At the start of the game you had a set and then 3 back to back penalties on our line then a goal line drop out!! So 5 sets almost on our line and couldn't score a try!! That says a lot about this Leeds team and why you lost!!
