Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "I should think that the vast majority of Bulls fans who were there will have gone home from the game absolutely buzzing, and glad they had one of those rare "I woz there" moments, so attendance wise it can only be all good.
Until it all changed, Leigh bossed us in most areas, but not by much, and some on here are being way too harsh. We were making too many errors, the one-man tactic wasn't working, and Leigh were winning most of the collisions and had plenty running in support in attack, and we were second best. But one thing they never did all game was give up, and despite making it very hard for ourselves, we kept at it.
In fact, we would have gone in at half time only one score behind if not for the outrageous professional foul, which certainly saved 6 points. So despite everything, we were by no means out of the game.
The giveaway try to take it to 6-32 was just a freak, but that was the stage i feared the worst, in recent years that would have signalled yet another 50 point bending.
But, what nobody has so far given us credit for, is it turned out that we had taken far more out of Leigh than they had taken out of us. One by one, their players were starting to run on empty, and suddenly we were on the front foot. It wasn't the plan, of course not, but the reason we scored at will for the last 20 minutes was because Leigh had nothing left, much though they tried, and that can only be because we had beaten them comprehensively in the energy battle.
Nobody can be happy either at getting to 6-32, or in many aspects of the way we played, but we do at least now have a team that is able to live up to our new motto, "we don't quit", and the fact that we were able to and willing to keep on our roll and scrape a draw was, to me at least, a very refreshing change from the catalogue of surrenders once we got a bit behind.'"
If I didn't know that everyone around me in the stand had been negative and wingeing until 10 mins to go, I'd think you'd been sitting behind us this afternoon!
