| Paul Deacon's last minute penalty to beat Wigan at Valley parade in May 2002 when we'd been losing something like 20-6 late on in the first half. Came from a controversial crossing penalty, Nobby was calling for the kick to touch and the drop but Deacs lined it up from just inside the Wigan half and nearly on the touchline. I was sat behind the goal and it came towards me and through the posts in slow motion. That always sticks in my mind.
I actually still think I have that match on video somewhere.

| The game at Thrum Hall as mentioned before is one that sticks in my mind. I can just see that image of elliot on the sidelines telling everone to calm down. Fantastic

| Another game that sticks in my head is the win at Headingley the week before the Challenge Cup final in 2005. But that could be because of the fans behind me that said Keith Senior's career was over after Big Joe's tackle did his ankle in. In their words "He's well into his 30's now - there's no way he'll be back from that." He's only just turned 30 this year so was 28 at the time, me, my mate and the Rhinos fans that were stood in front of us just gave them that look.

| As a Leeds fan, the ultimate Bulls moment for me was the 1996 semi at the McAlpine. The realisation that Leeds had been completely overtaken by the Bulls was a hard pill to swallow.
I believe George Mann was at stand-off for that game , Craig Innes had just buggered off to Manly and the club was about to implode in the first season of SL. Big contrast with the fortunes of the Bulls at the time.

Ah yes the Jon Scales semi. Another great moment.
The 97 semi was also good for the Paul Medley try.

And Masella, and Terence, I believe.
You're right about the 96 semi though - the last full year of winter rugby and the Centenary season had seen Leeds well on top of Bradford. 28-6 at the McAlpine was then followed up by 54-8 at Odsal and 56-18 at Headingley. Alf Davies, where are you now?
Here's a great moment as yet unmentioned - Dave Watson's interception at Oldham.

You just don't get Leeds-Bradford derby games like that these days. Probably why we don't see so many Leeds players getting lengthy bans
I remember Gary Mercer deliberately decapitating someone (Bradley?) at Odsal in one heavy defeat - it was pretty obvious at the time that it wasn't just bad technique - needless to say he was sent off.
The 1998 game at Odsal was full of biff too, although less memorable from a Bradford point of view - Spruce and Cummins handbags, Blackmore blatantly elbowing ?Danny Peacock in the face, Fleary breaking ?Bradley's jaw, Edwards having a hissy fit with Calland for not passing to him - what a game (not to mention Iestyn's best ever performance at Odsal)!
