The come back against Halifax at Thrum hall has to be one of the best games I've seen.

Too young to remember that one! 1997 I think? But my grandad remembers that game fondly! Glad it's on Youtube now though  |

| Quote: Bulls Boy 2011 "Anyone remember big Paul 'Baloo' Anderson's massive hand-off on Gary Connelly on the way to a try under the sticks ![]()
I remember being sat on a coach to an away game. I forget if it was a final or just a regular away game. I forget where it was even to. But I remember the coach was playing a replay of that game on the small TV in the middle of the aisle. Everyone on the bus was enjoying it, but essentially just waiting for one moment. When Anderson scored that try and it showed the replays of his palm print in Connolly's face, the whole bus erupted.
I have loads of great memories of Bradford Northern & Bulls. In recent times, the best will still be the singing and unison of the concourse of the DW Stadium after beating Wigan on a day when everyone thought the club was in real trouble of being no more. It was an amazing coming together of fans. If you weren't there, it's very difficult to express just how it felt. Something a video filmed on a smartphone just can't convey.

While Mick is getting panned on the other thread, the series of past photos & memories he's put up on twitter last night are amazing!

I'd have to say the best (if not, one of the best) handoffs ever to be produced on a rugby pitch. The way Connelly was just shunted out of the way by that shovel of a hand 
Aye, the Wigan game away was a great experience, although a lot of that emotion was down to the fact that we were going out of business and then beating them in their own backyard!! Who could forget Ainscough and Burgess leading the dance at the end! |

I quite liked Connoly but that hand off is probably my single favourite image of the glory years.
That game also notable for Karl Pratt winding up the Leeds fans after he scored, and the Bulls fans ironically cheering when Sinfield decided to go for goal after an early penalty - the game being only a few weeks after we beat them in the cup final in Cardiff. |

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

There was another image of Baloo which was even better imo.
I say image because nobody in the game would have remembered it; it was the press photo of Ando running flat out, ball in hand, and the terror stricken face of [I think it was] Russ Smith, when he saw Baloo running straight at him. Priceless! |

I seem to remember a break at Huddersfield too. Have a vague recollection it was a Challenge Cup Semi Final, maybe 2001? Baloo breaking the line and poor Alan Hunte (I think) standing all alone at fullback with Paul running straight at him. A few minutes later, they picked the poor fullback up off the floor. |

At Knowlsley Road. Sean Long doing an extravagant swan dive in front of the Bulls supporters only to land short of the line and dislodge the ball.

| Semi Final at McAlpine, Brian Macker punches 3 rhinos players; red carded and we still win easily.
I know I've said this one before, but its epic, I've watched that video clip hundreds of times and it still makes me laugh
Its like they just walk into the end of his fist, classic.
