1589.jpg when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.:1589.jpg |

| Leeds fans have short memories. They were always there in numbers at our WCC finals and nearly all were cheering openly for the Aussies.
Now the boot is on the other foot it has suddenly become GB v Australia and a major crime to cheer for the "wrong" side.

| I once tried to support the Rhino's . . . . . I think it was in a Grand Final.
I'm all better now though
C'mon The Storm !

Hating Rhinos - or anyone - is pretty inappropriate and ineffective, I'd say?
I despise their club hierarchy - that is a different thing to "hate" - but I do not hate the club or their fans (most of whom, apart from Damo obviously, are decent normal folk like us). I'd just rather they lost rather more than they won, like they used to and like no doubt one day they will again as the wheel turns.

Well, Jamie Jones-Buchanan's carpet ears for one. They're an offence to anyone in surrounding areas.

| At the risk of being provocative I'd suggest that Bradford Bulls and their early SL success wouldn't have happened without the likes of Hetherington, who was one of the strongest proponents of the move to summer rugby and the adoption of the salary cap.

| I'd say the Bulls themselves with the likes of Deakin, Smith, Elliott and Caisley had quite a bit to do with the instigation of summer rugby and the Bulls early success too.

Your either 10 years old or live on the other side of the planet.
If you've lived and grown up in either Bradford or Leeds then you know of the rivallry over the past 100 years or so.
Why do Liverpool dislike Everton or ManU. Or ManU dislike Man City, Arsenal / Tottenham, Hull FC / Hull KR etc etc.
Its local rivallry simple as.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.: |

I had problems with this last season. GB vs Australia - great. England vs Australia - I ended up basically supporting Sam Burgess, with studied neutrality for everything else that went on. It was a strange game. The Sam Burgess team started that match really well and then fell apart. When Sam got substituted I went and got a mug of tea.

I understand totally. I find it hard to bring myself to cheer on the same players I dislike all season when they play for their clubs.
And even harder to cheer on England seeing as I'm Welsh....

I'm not questioning the fact that rivalry exists between the clubs, and FYI I grew up in Bradford as a Leeds fan so have experienced my fair share.
I'm just querying the nature of Adey's post which implied that the Leeds administration had done something unforgivable to Bradford. Or maybe I'm just reading more into it than was originally intended...
