I'm glad that's over. Well played Bulls. Some tense minutes in the first half when we were getting sucked into the niggle. But cam through in the end.
Glad Moi Moi got what he deserved. And they missed Wilkes for the rough stuff.

But we beat them when it mattered. Thought Jy and Lilley were great today and Ross and Flanagan made an impact off the bench. But this is a win for the team, for all of them.

As for Workington, I won't miss them next season if they don't do it next week.

Soooo happy........put one over the Worky thugs when it mattered. All the team were outstanding today. Even my son, who hadn't been to a match since we fell from Superleague, was impressed by the lads' handling and defence. So much so, that he's talking about season tickets for next year for him and my grandsons.
Thought we bossed the game mostly, but the squeaky bum started again during the second half, when I thought the team started to lose their heads against the Worky messy tactics. We responded well though, and I thought it fitting that MoiMoi saw red towards the end and was sent from the field.
Well done to all involved at the club for a terrific end to a long (sometimes arduous - for speccys ) season. Here's to Championship rugby and local derbies once again.

I think Swinton won the toin coss and Leon has said that a few of their players have holidays booked for next week.
Can't see Town picking up a win.

I feel sorry for whoever gets picked to ref that game though, Swinton v Workington has potential to be the dirtiest match of RL ever!

Job done. Promotion sorted. Thank God we're out of that league.

Great win today, well done Bulls. Special mention for the unsung players, Lilley and Kirk today both immense.

A bit harsh on the ref I think. This had the potential to soar right out of control. I believe the ref did as reasonable job and kept it all more or less in check. He was decisive when he needed to be i.e Garside sin bin and Moi Moi sending off. he spoke as well to both captains and I'm sure all this had the effect of keeping the lid on it. Yes there were a couple of flare ups but that was all. Additionally I thought he liaised with his touch judges much more than many refs I have seen this season. I would be interested to hear of other thoughts on this as I suppose I may be out of touch only having supported the game for between 30 & 40 years.

We turned up when it counted but those missed conversions nearly gave me a heart attack!

Special mention to the defensive efforts of Ethan Ryan. Some great tackles, particularly when they had a 2 on 1 whilst we were down to 12 men. Forced the knock on.

I agree. I thought the ref did well.

We had a whole thread this week about whether the referee would let Workington drag the game down to the thug level - and he actually didn't. In fact, he had no impact whatsoever on the result of the game - which is what you want from the ref

Great performance today. Well done to all the players. I think we were just too good and wanted it more. Can put the lucky pants away now till next season.

Delighted. Rekon we kept our best two performances for our last two games. Very few mistakes. Thought the ref was fine too.

Well Done Bulls. One step closer to seeing you back at Headingley

Bit o/t but there's a fantastic photo on Batemans Instagram of him, Whitehead, the Burgess twins, Donaldson and Chev Walker watching the game today in the coral stand. We've produced some talent in RL. Fanastic to see former players still have such love for the club. Been a while, but today i am proud to be a Bulls fan.

I thought they were all brilliant today, one player not mentioned was Elliot M. Roger must be over the moon with his performance, really stood up when Garsdie was off.
Thought Lilley was brilliant and to look at his face at the presentation, that lad’s a Bull, no doubt!
Hats off to Chalmers, we were all quick to criticise last year when things weren’t going well, you know what he stuck with us and made this happen.
Looking forward to Fax and Toronto.
One word guys YESSSSSSSS!

Sorry meant Garside, one or two too many libations

see you didn't need to win the league then, good old RFL made it so you can sneak in through the back door
