As good as any I've seen in my lifetime and if anyone needs proof as to why this club and it's 149 heritage needs saving, then the 68th minute score from Bateman was just that.

Sounded nothing short of sensational Mick,
Can't wait to see it in the highlights!

Sounds like Lulia had a cracker tonight! This team is building something special and long may it continue... this cannot end now!

It was a great try. We (FC) struggled to prevent the offloads all game and should have done better in the tackle, however the try was un-preventable so credit where it's due

I could hardly believe what I was watching. Excellent try.

It was great, but helped along by some rather dodgy defence. Looking forward to seeing it back on Sky.

Great try but the last pass looked well forward.

Watching the whole build up and movement then leading to the best 17 passes of expansive Rugby League football you'll witness all season long.

Better than orgasm



As a commentator you want to call the best and that most certainly was.

Nothing wrong with Sammut's pass to Bateman.

THIS is why Bradford Bulls need to Survive.

Superb try!

I had the defibrillators on standby for the Gled, he was that excited.

What about those listening on the high dependency wards



Cheers for tonight mate you can most certainly come again.

I was level with that pass, looked like an example of the old momentum rule to me, sammut kept running forward after he passed and it looked a "flat" pass on the one view I had, but I was hardly concentrating on the finer details at that point, I was more concerned with not leaping out of my seat and p!ssing off the locals. So I'd need to see it again...but a cracking try non the less. Worth the trip in itself almost.

No. This is why Mick needs to get someone else to do it for him.

When will Bateman become available in the Bradford Sale to Survive offer?
Kopzak and Bateman BOGOF will raise a few funds.

I could be wrong, but I think Bateman in particular might take some convincing that he should leave Bradford. Everything I have seen from his actions on the pitch to the messages he types on Twitter suggests he is a young lad who is living the dream playing for HIS team. If the Bulls were looking to sell players, I think he'd probably be the last player we would be willing to flog. He wouldn't be the first player to kiss his badge and then leave but I don't think we need to worry about his commitment to the Bulls.

If they let someone like Bateman leave without a bloody good fight, I think I'd question my own support tbh.

Tbf you killed us all night with off-loads.....was a cracking try but from a Fc point of view,it was bad defence by us.

You lost.

Woahhhh, who invited Sherlock onto the forum?

Well worked out clever clogs, we did indeed lose

Love irony.... it's like Goldy and Bronzey, only it's made of iron. Your post says more about your pre 148 IQ ....

He already is.

Don't confuse him.

I was bang level with it and it was fine. Great try aided by poor defence which was a result of fatigue. I thought you had us at that stage as we were out on our feet but somehow found the energy to strike back with Briscoe. Lulia did particularly well to hold off the challenges.

But could just have easily won.May I suggest you watch the match before passing comments?


On topic,that third try was,as our American cousins would say,AWESOME.

Shame a try dunt win a game..........
