Very well played Bulls, the better team for most of the game. It's clear to see you'll be a force this season considering that was about new players in their first competitive game. We got a bit of luck and individual skill got us out of it, but I'd hope we don't get into similar situations often.

yeah thats very true. my heart is my mouth rite now, thinkin deja vue from 07. there is summet rong wiv ganson although hte pen try was probs rite. im gunna go drown my sorrows wiv a pint

I know it's the first game of the season, but Gareth Raynor did exactly what Stuart Reardon did last season, 10 meters off the wing, giving opposing wingers loads of space, its not good enough.

Turned out nice again, as someone once said.....

IMO the bulls are back. Defence and attack was much better than last year. Today was just one of those games. None of the 6(?) video ref decisions went our way. Probably rightfully so but still. Last year we would never have lead this Leeds side 28-10. Still garbage to throw it away mind.

Chev Walker's try should have been allowed, he never played at the ball, neither was he looking at it, as the rules state, that try would have won us the game.

Yep poor discipline in the second half gave Whinos the impetus to come back, and with Balsawood as VR they were going to get reasonable doubts even if they were'nt!
But there were enough plusses to give one optimism for the season! providing discilpline is tightened up!

At the very least I thought there was a fair call for it to be our feed at the scrum.

Didn't ya have s big lead at headingley when orford was jumping about as if you had won it after Nero scored?

It's obvious walker knocked the ball forward? Easy call. you are clutching at straws!

Well game finished 22 all so lead cant have been that great.

Plus orford is a tit.

So obvious it took twenty viewings in super slo-mo...

I'm just happy that I was a bit gutted at the end, to be honest I've found it hard to be bothered by any result over the last year or two.

there was nothing conculsive to say that chev knocked the ball on, he looked at it about 20 times and still couldnt say for definate so should have been benefit of doubt.


When leulai scored his try at the ptb buderus was walking back towards an onside position, at the moment of the ptb he was offside..then collected the pass near the line..should have been pen to us but ref didnt ask him to look for it.

Penalty try yes as ah van was too far away to cover.

At the end of the day we took our foot off the gas thinking w ehad won it, leeds got a roll on and they did us..leeds were missing plenty of players and we should ahve had them but with jones bishop in instead of smith it actually made them better as dont think smith would have scored them.

Exactly. If a video ref views the same footage and angle SO many times there is obviously some doubt! The benefit of doubt ruling is used inconsistently far too often for my liking.
