This is what I certainly think in this week’s Damo Bit - leeds.rlfans.com/readarticle.php?article_id=1638

What Bradford Bulls did in 2005 was an absolute disgrace!

I read your bit on a regular basis and I must say it's pretty good most of the time (with an obvious dislike for anything Wigan) but I normally let that go. I've just got a couple of questions...

How can the team who finishes top of the league beating every team in the league, knocking the current champions out, and winning the grand final be "unimpressive" champions? (Wigan)

And also you sound a tad bitter losing out to Bradford in 05, but didn't Leeds adopt this relaxed way of playing the regular rounds and ramping up the intensity in the play-offs, and go on to win 3 in a row?

Did the fact that the last two Grand Finals have been won by the league leaders pass you by?

Yes it was boring, because all we did was win everything icon_biggrin.gif

Bradford won in 2005 by cheating the salary cap!

Good to see Damo's ramblings still provoke a response from visitors. We've sort of got a bit used to him round here....

If bradford fans started going on about winning the treble in 2003 (breaching no rules) blah blah blah then the rhinos would be the first to state "STOP LIVING IN THE PAST" which in this case i think it what you need to stop doing - no one cares about 2005 apart from the bitter rhino fans !!!

Remeber Millenium magic last minute penalty Tansey offside - DIDNT THINK SO

Its all about today and the future, Bradford are cr*p, leeds and saints are mediocre and wigan and warrington now seem to be leading the way - things change, get over it !!

Not getting upset or living in the past just stating a fact you won in 2005 by breaching salary cap.

Agree on the last bit though we are mediocre and things do change.

See. Damo can still make an impression on people who haven't seen his work before.

Bless him.

Yes this maybe so but nothing can be done about it so why old news ??

I do wish Leeds Vs. Bradford games did have the same intensity they used to have icon_sad.gif - real nailbiters at times, just the big money owners at other clubs (mentioning no names) seem to be able to draw in the talent !!!

I think the passion is still in the fans for the derbies but seem to be lack of bradford/leeds born or stalwarts missing from the clubs to give the same effect on the pitch

Err... There were 8 players from Leeds' academy in the 17 for Crusaders last week... Plus Jamie Peacock, who fits the Leeds-born criterion.

I do wish Leeds Vs. Bradford games did have the same intensity they used to have I think when you were in the driving seat we were near the top and then around 2004 we were both playing right at the top and we had top of the table clashes. Then Bradford dropped from the radar while we were at the top and the derby match didn't mean as much to the league. Now we are both dropping down and the game as been dropped from sky. Not supprising really given the games being shown this weekend.

I actually think it's a good thing the game going from sky. Hopefully it will be a bigger crowd and better atmosphere as a result!!

I hope so i really do, also hope it will be a nice battle on the pitch too - a close affair instead of been one sided like in recent years 10.80224609375:10
