i think a lot of our fans were peed off with the bulls fans when we were beaten every game in our early super league days and the bulls fans were gloating .. leeds, wigan and saints fans didnt gloat half as much so for fartown now to go into these games as favourites and winning more than losing the fans are just getting the monkey off their back..so to speak..

i never actually saw us beat the bulls as the first win was the game after i moved lol.i must have been the bad a omen .

hope its a good game and we can play to our best and win

It was ruined long ago. The simple fact is you've beaten 13th and 14th and we'd beaten 1st and 2nd until Cas won last night.

You've conceded twice as many points as us and an average of 20 per game. We've conceded an average of 10 per game.


the stats are there and these paint a truer picture than anyone's opinion!

Ainscough and Platt have been our right wing and centre combination for the last couple of weeks.

You've actually conceded on average 14 a game and we have in fact conceded 30 a game. Still your point is valid in that we've leaked a lot of points compared to you, then again the spanking from Wigan has not helped our stats.

You are also the lowest scorers in the league, so if we are able to tighten up our defence (which is a big if) then I am confident we can score the points to take the game close.

If we can cut out the amount of mistakes we've been making then we have a decent chance of getting a win. If we gift Huddersfield possession in our half like we have been doing we will lose by a few scores IMO.

Giants by 12

Giants by 16

<s>

Aiiii but just look at how many fans they brought, a cert for the crowd comp

excellant today from the giants

told you bradford were pants




absolutely love it

appart from the supporters bradford didnt turn up at all

really impressive first 10 mins a real shame that brough missed so many early conversions or the score would have been fantastic at the end of the first half.

silly late tries conceded by us as we had defo taken the foot of the pedal by then

brown and cudjoe both went off injured, hope they are not too serious and fit for friday

cudjoe looked the worst

look who we left out for today too, griffin and gilmour ! what a squad!

I think you missed off Hodgson

oops

haha


and molloy, raleigh, kirmond, wood , carlile

and England Hooker Luke Robinson

damn i keep forgetting



talking of england i think we now know why bradford have no players in the elite squad ..... oh hang on its macnamara's fault

It was an impressive performance overall but a disappointing finish. We took our foot off and Bradford got some quick PTB's and started making yards and a break or two. That showed how completely dominant physically we had been beforehand though, and we totally controlled the ruck in attack and defense and with it the game.

We mixed it up, went wide a bit more today with great success down the RHS in particular. Horne's second try was absolute champagne RL, loved it. Superb stuff at times. Bradford dropped a bit of ball and did a few other daft things such as the ridiculous lift of the player into touch. That was plain dangerous.

I hope it motivates them to play better next week and it was the best following they've brought to Odsal in a good few years.

Fair summary.

are bradford our new wakefield?
still im sure the bully's can take great heart in the fact they only lost the 2nd half 20-10!

bring on the champions!

Aiii but they brought 3000

2000 of em must of been shopping in Huddersfield Town centre though cos they weren't at the game but they get 2 points in the crowd comp

how is kevin brown not in the elite squad he was a differnt class today him and brough for england for me

Aye, thought Brown was very good indeed today. The thing about our halves is not only do they do the job ball in hand but they stand up in defense as well.

The only downside was that <s> we were put to shame <s> by the magnificent vocal Bradford support <s> who apparently put us to shame.

I remember feeling distinctly neutral watching Horne canter over for his second try following some superb handling by Lunt and Brown after Brown spotted the gap down the RHS on the 5th and last.

I realise some Bulls fans may be upset at trolling or the performance today but please, if you're going to shove in some needle, make it half decent.

like i said on their board dan, i remember the days of going to odsal,getting our s tanned by 50/60/70 points and the 100 or so fartowners making more noise than 12/13,000 bulls who were non plussed to see another 50 points on the scoreboard.

I'm loathe to criticise the Bulls support today because they turned up in better numbers than they have done for years but, ultimately, some of the comments subsequently posted are fantasy. We scored 50, could and possibly should have got 60+ and claims are made they made more noise. Similar there are assertions of 3k+ Bulls fans. Again, fantasy.

They came in good numbers but the stuff that is being spouted with regards our support is, on the whole, outdated and just backwards. We're not perfect by a long chalk but we're not the club we were 5 years ago.
