Brilliant performance all round tonight from the boys!

Hats off to John Bateman I thought he was outstanding tonight especially in the winding up department, a young teenage lad managing to get under the skin of seasoned professionals like Bailey & Peacock was a treat to watch!

I for one cannot wait for Gale to return because I think that is all we have missed in the last couple of games, someone to work with Sammut in the creativity department & someone to really take control of attack when we go clueless sometimes!

Someone on Twitter has highlighted that Bateman blew Peacock a kiss after he was penalised for the push before Sinfield's drop goal. Cheeky.

No I think you are wrong. The strangest view point is on the bulls game threat on our (rhinos) wall. The one who claims Bateman is rubbish and over rated should be at championship level before being let go into the ametur ranks. That is a far more stupid view point.

Regarding the game it was a good atmosphere and enjoyed the game. ( first time I have managed to convince someone to baby sit the twins!) agree with the above I thought we did well in defence when you were piling on the pressure in the second. The peacock sin bin I cannot really comment as I haven't seen the replay of the game and didn't see what he did.

Regarding the booing of the ref, if the roles had been reversed there would have been booing. In the heat of the game it is easy to want to blame the ref and there would have been booing at any ground.

Anyway I enjoyed the game, you deserved the point and I look forward
To the visit to odsal.

Agree with all the above from Ferdy. A balanced viewpoint with no knee jerking. Bring on the Odsal derby...if it's half as good, the game will be a classic

I actually think the week off for Leeds had a detrimental effect on our performance, and we looked a little rusty and off the pace despite scoring early. We really struggled in defence for the first half an hour and it took as a while to adjust to the pace of the game. Some of the credit has to go to Bradford obviously but, the difference in Leeds' line speed and technique in defence in the 2nd half compared to the first was miles better and was more reminiscent to how its been most of the season so I'm not convinced Bradford would've won had we played Wakey.

Yeah, I guess the Short Turn Round V the Long Break is always a double edged sword - and can cut both ways.
