When the Bulls were playing at VP and there was an incident where one of our players got taken out and Jimmy Lowes came steaming in to speak to the Ref! Russell Smith turned round and said "go away Jimmy I want to speak to someone sensible" The gobsmacked look on Jimmy's face was priceless and gave those of us that heard it a good chuckle!

For me it was the the Bulls winning the CC at Murryfield because of the emotion by the Bulls fans that went round the Stadium afterwards!

What a day. I remember just before the amazing joy at full time was an almost overwhelming sence of relief, got to remember it was after the 96, 97 finals and the 99 GF.

I remember some Leeds fans and neutrals questioning us on the way home at a service station why we weren't all jumping around for joy more, we had just won the cup afterall, I had to tell em I was just knackered and so drained I didn't have the energy left!

Plus McAvoys "chip try" will live long in the memory too!

Mine too for different reasons. Wasn't it Harris that was 'chipped' as well?

FWIW Leeds played very well that day (in the end), especially given that we had one of our worst starts to the league that season under Lance.

It was Harris, he jumped about 3 inches off the floor in a rather lame attempt to reach the ball. You did seem to get better and better as the game went on IIRC (?) and I remember thinking if there was another 10 min at the end we'd have lost....but thankfully there wasn't icon_biggrin.gif icon_wink.gif

That try was unbelieveable. I don't even think McAvoy himself could quite believe that he'd pulled it off.

The phrase that springs to mind is "the sun even shines on a dog's @rse every now and again"

The nice gesture by the Paul brothers to let Bernard Dwyer be the one to lift the trophy but he didn't want to.

Still the biggest cheer that day in the stadium was when he came to lift it.

What a way to finish off your career.

As ive only seen 1 real high point in the 5 years ive been a Bulls/ Rugby League fan it has to be the 2005 grand final (and still the only team to win outside the top two and watched it this afternoon on DVD )has to be my personal high point.

The DVD of this game is only £5 in HMV if anyone is after it.

They also have the 2004 Grand Final but that's still £12.99 (full price icon_eek.gif ).

I voted for the win at the Don Valley back in 1997. That was one of my first Bradford memories and is still one of my most treasured moments from watching Rugby League.

The drive home was sensational and the week building up to our Champions homecoming against Paris was something special.

Murrayfield 2000 for sure. Lots of other memorable matches but this was the first big title win and led to others after so many "nearlies" that broke my heart.
It was'nt a great match and neither side were outstanding - Morley was awesome, he did'nt deserve to be on the loosing side, and McAvoys chip was a fluke, I still think he did it so as not take the tackle.
This thread does not ask for the best performance by the Bulls. So this was my most memorable experience- walking out of Murrayfield with incredible elation that we had eventually won our first modern day major title.

The away game at Halifax was just so so good, all the fax fans chanting your not singing any more at half time, and then came the second half and our turn to sing your not singing any more.

the 2001 grand final first half was just such perfect rugby league, the following morning I played the tape through three times consecutively, but one sequence in particular: Scott Naylors first tackle on Renouf absolutely flattened him and indeed pretty much took him out of the rest of the game offensively as he spent more time worrying about where Scott was than looking where the ball was, knock on fumble etc. ex Salford destroys top 20 greatest Bronco. Brilliant.

The Withers drop goal. Leeds. One point. Heaven.

Plenty of other good moments in there though, but the world club trophy - hadnt they virtually just got off the plane, and it was blowing a gale down the pitch, so we should have destroyed them? So although I am proud enough to have that very cup featured in my blog picture with Meds head, it was good, but nothing like the challenge in the three I have chosen.

Only been able to travel regularly to Odsal since 2007, so I picked the '09 Rhinos game as one of mine. Couldn't put any case whatsoever for a Bulls win, travelled more out of sense of duty than anything else. Even 10-6 up with 20 to go we were waiting for the Rhinos to put the back to back tries they were known (and hated!) for in their prime.

Their first 'Try' was ruled out for a ruling that had only been brought in that season, Brent Webb was 'Downtown'. As I had no idea that was the rule I joined everyone else in getting the shock of it getting wiped. Second one was even better. played in quick time it looked like there wasn't a problem. But replays showed it had hit Jones-Buchanans hand and gone forward. The tension was awesome as it got played back several times before it got disallowed.

My younger Brother James has Downs Syndrome and went absolutly ballistic at the final whistle. A few weeks later at the magic weekend a family we'd never met came over and their Mam said seeing him so esctatic had brought a smile to their faces since that night.

One high I doubt would make any list, but maybe should, is leading 30-6 in the playoffs v Wigan in '07. I remember sitting there making plans for Hull or Huddersfield the next week, even when Wigan scored the first try of the fightback their fans could barely bring themselves to applaud. At full time about 15 pairs of arms went around James as he burst into tears, we were devestated for days afterwards. What no-one could possibly have known is that night in September would the last time the Bulls could be considered serious contenders, and was in effect the end of the glory days at Odsal. For now....
