If the best you can come up with is a player milking a (dubious in your opinion) penalty and a tackle that's already been discussed you're going to have to do better than that.

Very amusing as well that you feel you 'gave' us our points, it looked like you were just being outplayed for the majority of the game to me.

Are you really this difficult? If he didn't touch the ball, why didn't any of the Bulls players look even remotely suprised at the decision. Take the Bulls tinted glasses off and have another look. The comment about the ref not knocking on or missing tackles wasn't to say that Bradford did it all day, but they certainly did enough.

FWIW the Walker knock on in the build up to your "no-try" was a really tough decision, but was also correct.

Oh and overall Leeds didn't deserve to win IMO.

how about the bulls full back being clearly pushed back into his dead ball area yet being allowed to play the ball.
both sides have grievences. grow up and get on with it

If having a different opinion to you makes me 'difficult' then I guess I am, he did not touch the ball. Why did our players not complain? Because it would do no good as the decision had been made.

Walkers was not a try, unfortunately it touched his elbow.

oh i love sadford fans they are such tw*ts


the be all and end all is, We played awful, you played well and we beat you, so that makes you sh*t very very sh*t

The facts are simple you had an 18 point lead and blew it ,Ganson cained us around the ruck even when your players dived and trapped the tacklers arms and also Lynch hardly moved when the tackle was called but don't let that get in the way of your p!$$ poor rant.
You lost deal with it.

Bradford should have shut the game down. 18 up with less than 15 minutes to play? Losers. Bradford lose their Grand Final in style, there really isn't any other way you can spin this as a Dulls fan.

bigchris and sensible don't belong in the same sentence

I was going to bring this up, even the commentary team didn't mention it, yet it was obvious.

Overall though, the officials got most of the calls right, including the video ones which TBH no Bradford fan can argue against and retain their credibility.

Aye, we all know your mum. The question is though, do you know which of us is your dad?

As for the game itself and the sensible Bradford fans out there.
I thought Bradford were solid but unspectacular for 60 mins but, as was being mentioned on the Sky coverage, their kicking game pretty much evaporated and they didn't appear to have much else. They also didn't appear to be able to match us when we (eventually!) stepped up a gear, started running the ball in hard and stopped the stupid, ridiculous wonder passes.

There a few dodgy calls for both sides and the penalty try was absolutely the correct call. (and ironically very similar to the Calderwood incident in the 2003 CC Final)

Bradford certainly look improved from last year, but I'd be interested to see how they do when teams effectively shut down their kicking game close to the line.
As for Leeds, first 10 mins we looked sharp, then badly went off the ball. I don't criticise him often but I thought Sinfield was very poor for the first 55/60 mins and didn't steady the ship as much as he should have done. However when we sorted things out, he was vital to our coming back into it.
A few notable mentions to Delaney, Lauitiiti & obviously Jones-Bishop.

You either need to stop crying on the Leeds board about something that was called correctly, and accept that you lost for more reasons than that one correct call, or you should pack up and go home. I fear it will be a very long season for you if you can't accept decisions like this correct one.

As does everyone else in Bradford.
