Was expecting quite a lot of the Fat Dogs but all they sung was Wigan or Bradford City songs not to mention annoying innocent suits on the way to Headingley from Leeds station. Drunk chavs is Wigans thing, don't follow down that route.


Thats rich coming from a set of fans who have been singing football songs for years, marching on together stolen from Leeds UTD.

On the game...

I believe the scoreline did flatter Leeds but they edged it in terms of finishing quality, generally mopping up our mistakes. Was a big loss losing Kearney as he was looking dangerous running some nice lines in attack.

Some big hits from both sides and as always a tough derby game with a cracking atmo..

Text book chicken wing by mcguire on Kearney which went unpunished. He stayed on but would be interesting to know what kept him off

typical luck for the bulls! get back crookes and scruton (both played for reserves) and lose platt and kearney!

Didn't get to the game, had to work

I personally think some of my fellow rhinos fans have been a tad sensitive about the chanting "we hate whinos" it's a derby game and I would expect some banter. I don't suspect people hate Leeds or many of us want to get "fathers gun".

You can still appreciate the act of helping out your club and still give banter at the games. I enjoy some light hearted banter.

I thought it was a mistake to play sammut at full back when Leeds had the ball and stand off when we had it. Leaving aside the collision with pryce, it meant that we didn't have a full back to join the line which made us more predictable. Might have been better to play walker or whitehead in the centre and moved one of the three quarters to full back.

Well done Ferdy, best part of a Bradford Leeds derby is the banter. It's rugby not football, fans have banter not real hatred for one another

Bulls fans would have had a better view than i did in the southstand but in the first half when leeds were 6-0 down JJB kicked on a poor pass cant remember from who and collected and would have walked under the sticks. Why was it called back?

I was wondering the same, bulls player knocked it down before JJB kicked on should have been try time, seemed like ganson blew for a pull back on a bulls player but then gave a scrum.

All his decisions seemed odd for both teams, least he was consistently crap.

Bradford just seem to panic when we get the oppos line, 3 times they tried to force it elima was on the 1st tackle he should have just taken it instead of trying to offload, we had a man advantage at that point and still cocked up, errors just seem to kill us, think 4 of the leeds tries came from our errors, pryce and sammut colliding, the knock on on our 20 in the final minute, not finding touch leeds came back and scored on the next set and the knock on on our 20ish again from the scrum leeds flicked it away and scored.

Leeds need to keep sir kevin and JP in cotton wool as loose these 2 players in next few weeks they won`t be challenging for SL title, thought Richard Moore had a top game for Leeds, as people have said we gifted leeds 4 tries and it didn`t help when BK went off, i`d have put platt to FB and played walker in centre`s. Thought Hargreaves and Elima were our stand out players, great support again, really enjoyed the banter espicall going out of the ground when victor meldrew started even slaggin his on team off, not a McDermott fan even though he`s one them SL! UNBERLEAVEABULL!

That's exacally what rugby should be like. I remember in 2003 me (Leeds) and my mate (Bradford) got tickets for final in Cardiff. We tossed a coin and I lost, so off we went down in a Bradford supporters bus, me with my rhinos shirt. I got alot of stick particulary on the way back but everyone had a beer with me and it was taken by me as good natured banter and I am sure it was given out in the same way. Was a cracking day even losing and for me sticks in my mind how good a game it is to follow,

No idea why that was disallowed. They were some strange decisons for both teams.

Did anyone in the north satnd see Hicks completely miss the ball bouncing on the line in the second half. Hall and all the Bradford players stopped but for some reason Hicks didn't see it. Thankgully nothing came of it, but it just shows how poor some of the officals are.

I also thiught the Manuokafoa try was down, and the picture in our local paper backs that up, but the in goal judge had a different idea obviously.

The most entertaining facet of this thread is "hyperbolicrhino" condescendingly correcting spelling. Your grammar is atrocious and you must love the comma. Please rectify your own mistakes i.e *especially. In addition to this the word 'hate' is predominantly interpreted as a platitude and doesn't necessarily signify animosity.

I thought he signalled a forward pass?
