Got a brilliant picture of that somewhere. Used to have it on wall in office.

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.

Robbie's try to put us fourteen points up - the cup as good as won... ugh.

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........

Remember him doing that to McGuire at Headingley ('03?) right before half time when they looked to be getting on top. Belter!!

Danny McGuire, 2003, Headingley, bang on half time and kept us in it. Rob Parker scored after the break, JP made a great break and fed Mike Forshaw to extend the lead and after TV gifting a try to Burrow we defended a two point lead for twenty minutes for the second time that season against Leeds to close out a win that put us in the driving seat for first spot and eventually the treble.

Which brings us to another point - our treble was so much better than Saints' treble.

it could be that, but my head still seems to be telling me it was odsal, over in the corner at rooley end and seating side. i could be wrong.
If my memorys right i seem to think it was someone twice his size too, coz we were all amazed that he put him on his ar$e.

I remember that one well - When we fed the scrum close to our own line wih about 30 seconds to go I turned to my mates and said "well it doesn't look like Les will get his record, unless of course he gets the ball here and goes the length of the pitch."


That's exactly what he did and everyone then went mental!!!

Who remembers the big 1997 Sky Super League kick off on a cold Friday night at Odsal v Warrington

Always enjoy this, but seeing as we had one recently thought I might as well drag it up and merge it to avoid duplication.

Here's two I don't think have been mentioned - Paul Newlove's returns to Post Office Road with us. Second one saw Andy Currier sent off for clocking him and Neil Roebuck attempt to shove him over the hoardings after he'd gone fifty yards to score. First one was potentially even fierier, even though he was ineligible because he had refused to go to the World 9s and was only on to carry the sand for Deryck Fox's goal kicks.

Yes a Friday night mate. Got the game on now.
