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.. ;-) )

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

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! :thumb:

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.






(and I feel fine)

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.

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.
