I pointed out to him in the coral that he was wearing a red and white tie and he came out with some crap about it being an RFL tie.
kidding!
Great blokes the officials. Don't deserve [imost[/i of the criticism they get!

| Had a massive 'mental' when Hall went in for that try. One of the biggest in recent times. I was only at home in my living room too haha.

| Well, I will confess that at half-time my bet on the Bulls by 6 or less was looking shaky, but what a superb second half from the lads. Of course, not faultless, but I just thought that Mac found all the necessary fixes, and as a result we basically controlled the whole second 40.
There has been whingeing about our conditioners and fitness etc., but surely that myth has been laid to rest? Frankly fitness has never been the problem.
Orford gets better each week as does Kearney, L'Estrange is everywhere, Menzies must be on something - surely - but Jamie Langley is in the early frame for MOS. He was - again - immense, and it was he who made the critical run that put us on the finishing straight.
The defence really worked overtime in the second half, and kept it up. We never lost our belief. Even near the end, when Roberts got the ball we hit him real hard and this extra effort caused a fumble. And what a good feeling as Hall crashed over. Not heard a roar like that at Odsal for a long time, nor a longer round of applause. The players must have finally understood that we all love them really, and they seemed to lap it up.
And the bonus is that the floating voters will have gone home happy as Larry, having been treated to a breathtaking finish and a superb second half show, and every one will come again.
Yes, it was one of those "I Was There" nights, was that.

There's nothing worse than a bad loser, except perhaps a bad winner.
But well done, Eddie, on demonstrating so ably precisely why you were unfit to be a moderator. It's been several years since you've been in a position to gloat, we have had little or no interaction since Bullragegate, and one marginal win early doors of the season, and you post as if you've won a final.
Muppet.
Furthermore, FWIW, I said we'd lose tonight, and we did, so I'm not sure where this arrogance you mention is.
I thought becoming a father might have helped you become a better person, but clearly not.

| Quote: mystic eddie "Ok Ok Ok I can take it!
Full compliments to Mr McNamara tonight for completely stunning probably the majority of us. That was a magic comeback.
At half time I had my usual rant already written but I am glad I said nothing and saw it through to the end. Congratulations guys on a terrific comeback and that will go someway to avenging the play off disaster of a couple of years ago.
This week saw a big change for me. Yes, I am very critical of Bradford these days but I can accept criticism from our own fans but not so much that of other teams. The wiganers were, on the whole, hugely disrespectful of us this week and they head home along the M62 feeling somewhat foolish tonight I guess. Good.
I hope that I can be allowed this thread to not be merged tonight cos I will get it with both barrels I am sure but there is no case for the prosecution tonight, as that was remarkable.
Well done Bradford and I await the likes of Hogan, Odemwingie etc coming on here and eating a big portion of humble Pie after some of their comments.
And to Fishsta???? Ha ha ha. Get it right up you.
My regards, Ed.'"
I've always liked you mate and even though sometimes your posts have made me want to spew I've agreed with your right to comment.
But after tonight every man and his dog can agree that that second half performance was top draw. If only we'd have played like that in the first half!

Eh? I don't think I did TBH. Maybe if you take off your C&W coloured specs you would see that it was a response to some of your fellow fans who have been dishing it out in spades this week. Your lot have been carrying on like you are the greatest team in the world FFS!
Quote: Fishsta "I'm not sure where this arrogance you mention is..'"
I am not sure either. Certainly not on this thread. However there is plenty coming from the backward side of the Pennines on rlhererl and rlhererl
if you want to have a look.

How sweet.

| You know, now I've slept on the victory, one important fact keeps coming back to me.
We still have vast room for improvement
In the words of the song things can only get better

Hmmm you seem to bring out that sort of reaction from quite a number of posters.
Must be everyone else eh!

| I think you're entitled to be overly chipper after that result. Games where you come back from 20-nil against a team that many people think (including me before last night) will be grand finalists come along very rarely. I had to fend off calls from Mrs McBatt to turn off the rugby at 9pm so she could watch Lost, as "you know who's won now". I won the argument, and it was worth the sour face.
Wigan have looked good this year, better than under Noble, but have they played anyone yet? They have played two good teams, you and Warrington, and for a Solomona knock-on, they would have blown that in the last minute. Maybe I've given them too much credit.

| From a Rhinos' fan.....bl**dy brilliant. Orford sublime; L'estrange (sp ??) a handful. All good for Superleague this year...a real competition opening up.
