We all writing off the Broncos then??

Sidlow carried your pack and Gaskell ran the show first half, second half I expected us to fold after all the ball you had but we got some ball and scored some points.
Cant comment on the Purtill 'try' as I was too far away but Higson had one chalked off by the ref first half when the linesman who was in line didn't call it forward 12-12 became 6-20 at HT as a result
Great start to the new era, great following and a great craic between fans all day

didn't have to be in line so see that forward pass. It on the 10m line of the pitch. think the ref gave that decision?? correctly though

So that's your excuse for him telling me to "f@@k off" is it. A simple hand in the air would have done. Don't you think. He may have thought I was being patronising but I wouldn't have held my hand out if I was. I don't clap opposing sides off to be patronising either.

Not excuses just possible reasons. There are plenty but we'll never know. He was humble and showed you respect especially in the run-up. can't you just drop it?

Dropped.

First three Bulls tries were all directly after stupid penalties. No excusing that one, although one certainly looked like a forward pass from where i was in the North stand. Gaskell is going to be a huge player for you this year, but for gods sake, loose the scrum half - I honestly think he won us the game today.

Yes, Leigh have a couple of niggly (for want of a more acceptable word) players, but then we also had three players taken out off the ball, so I'd suggest that one could cut both ways.

I don't think anyone can go unbeaten this year, or even close, but we've seen the best battle it out today in one of the greatest games I've seen in 42 years of watching Leigh. It had everything.
Coming to the end, as we ran in our last but one try, I said to the bloke stood next to me "That's it, we'll score another here". You could see the body language change, and there was a little bit of what looked like finger pointing going on. That needs nipping in the bud.

But well played, and unlucky, Bradford, both your team and your fans were a credit to you, especially the fan in the services just before Bradford who opened the door to me with a "Are you buggers stalking us now?" and a grin as I drove home to sunny Shorpe :/


See you for the last game.

Enjoyed the game today. Great atmosphere and a huge Bradford following really helped in that regard.

1st half we looked nervous and played dumb rugby and you tore us apart at times.

2nd half we held our composure better and started to play more like we can and took control of the match.

Gaskell, Sidlow and your hooker all played very well.

Tough game, bit nasty at times (both sides) but very exciting.

Welcome to the Championship!

It's ironic that I described his tactics as thuggish to my dad making up for his lack of speed and guile. Other than that Mullanny impressed me

I appreciate that, but a few indicating thuggish or dirty tactics as reasons for unsettling. In my eyes, both teams were to blame, we were dumber than you first half, you were dumber 2nd half and the scoreline reflects this. Add to this our expansive open rugby policy and pace throughout the team and thats where our victory came from. Disappointed to hear Chev Walkers comments (if true) as he really needs to get his house order before throwing stones. Can't wait for the return match.

Ha ha, nice one, but we've not prepared for it enough
