I can't remember whether that was the same semi final where him and Barrie Mac got in a big brawl resulting in either red or yellow cards? Or have I imagined that one? If I have, I apologise, but it would have been one hell of a clash!

| A few of Dave Barends' tries ....high fliers, cart wheels etc....much to the annoyance of the goal kicker sometimes!
The comeback at Fax, as previously mentioned by someone.
But, one of the best moments surely has to be the '96 Challenge cup semi, finally getting to wembley after so many disappointing years.
(Tha don't know tha born these days!! )
Nathan's infamous chip over Iestyn anyone?

'It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.': |

| Quote: af "Adrian Morley got the red, but IIRC there was only Neil Harmon out of that Leeds pack that day that wasn't guilty of similar.
Another one - Newlove scoring the try of the season in the mud against Cas to keep the title race alive in 94.'"
Belter of a try that!
Though I didn't think it was as good as his try at Featherstone in the same season (could've been the season after. Not sure). Neil Roebuck tried to smash him into the barriers after he'd put the ball down and the Northern end went mental!

| Konkrete hiting Lowes in the previously mentioned game at VP and Jimmy's legs buckling.
Alan Rathbone smacking Ray Price in '86 against the Aussies, Price just looked at him then laid in.
The Phil Ford try v Leeds already mentioned.
Trevor Foster turning on the new floodlights in a game against St Helens, might be '79.
The '78 test match GB V Aus at Odsal (not a Northern oner I know) they put portakabins by the pitch so they players could go in at half time. Loads of kids drumming on the roof of the Aussie one all through half time.
Seeing the '82 Aussies walk down to the field at Odsal, all refusing to sign autographs before the game.At the time it seemed horrible but it was the dawn of a more professional era.
The best has got to be winning the Championship under floodlights at Odsal in '79 against Hunslet so it didn't go down to the last game against Widnes. Eddie Ockulitz scored a hat trick, the player the fans always had a go at!

Agree with them 100%, and leading on from the 96 semi, Robbies try from half way in the 96 final - up to that point I didnt know Northern/Bulls could play amazing rugby like that, in a final, at wembley! glorious day despite the loss. (as a side note, personally speaking I cant remember having seen so many Northern/Bulls fans in one place before that as well. I was blown away by the sight of our end all in the red amber and black with flags flying)

You don't believe the information
You don't believe it when it's denied
So when you're reading explanations
You have to read between the lines: |

| Can't remember exactly which year, but Leon scoring the winning try at Headingley with two mins to go when the game looked beyond us comes close.

On my wall at home, steve mac is ushering him away. Will scan it.

The true birth of the Bulls. Matt Calland sent off after twelve minutes. Roger the Dodger at 6, Brian Mac at 13, Paul Cook wins it with an interception at the death and we all go home singing 'Jingle Bells'. Got it on VHS somewhere and need to dig it out because that was one of THE nights to be a Bradford fan.

record losing points total for a final? cheers still, losing that one didnt feel as bad as losing the year after - no great bulls moments from the 97 final.

| ive got a very vague memory of Stuart Reardon playing full back at odsal, he was the last line of defence, someone was racing to the line with reardon running across the pitch to cover the corner. it looked that whoever it was would go in for a definate try when all of a sudden Rearden meets him with the best shoulder charge ive seen to bang him into touch. I cant remember if it was a match saving try or not, but it was probably tackle of the season for me
then we sold him........
