| Quote: af "In the case of Bradford in 2003, they had to defeat Leeds at Cardiff to secure the cup, at Headingley then Odsal to claim the hubcap and in the play-offs en route to Old Trafford. You say they could have gone either way. This suggests the result was, like a coin toss, determined by chance. But the Leeds-Bradford coin was tossed five times in 2003 and it came down Bradford-side-up five times. The chances of that occuring by chance are 1/32, or 3% I'd say it probably did not occur by chance.
'"
How can you try and compare a rugby game to a coin toss? You won the CC final by 2 points, a league game at headingly by 2 points and a game at odsal by 1 point (which secured top spot). There were many incidents in those games, had they gone leeds way they could easily have won all 3.
It's exactly the same as, had things gone your way in games against leeds last year, you would not have lost a single game to leeds and would have finished 2nd and probably made the grand final

That kind of illustrates my point though.
Saints didn't need a brain fart from one of the opposition players.

| One of the greatest ever was the moment at the final whistle at Murrayfield 2000 when we realised we'd won it and I looked around to see dozens of blokes in tears with the sheer emotion of those last 10 minutes.
If I could re-live just one match though it would be the 2001 grand final. That was a rocking day from start to finish.
Cardiff 2003 was pretty special too - what I remember of it!!

I would have thought the ultimate bulls moment would have been the Challenge cup semi final in 1996.
It wasn't just a game, it was symbolic. It marked a new era, the bulls era if you will. They had finally made it. This was followed up a year later with a title win, 3 years later CC win then a year after that the famous 5 grand final heaven began.
Nearly a decade later the 2005 grand final marking the end of this wonderful period of success. Possibly the most glorious in Bradford's history.
Now however, marks a time of change and financial uncertainty.

| Quote: Snake Eater "Your treble was a very fine line.
in 06 it was total domination for saints, it was unanimous, thrashings in both finals, finishing 8 points clear etc.
In 03 the bulls were involved in about 3 games with leeds that really could have gone either way. If they had gone leeds way leeds owuld have won the cc and fnished top.
The bulsl won the treble in 03, they lost the same amount of games as they did in 02 when they won nothing.
Just pointing out what a fine line there was between success and failure for the bulls in 03, there was no such line for saints in 06.'"
Perhaps, but Skints cheated the cap.

| One of my favourite moments as a Wigan fan came while we were playing you lot and Renouf broke free and put Radlinski in for a try with 6 seconds left on the clock to make the score 18 - 19, leaving Farrell with a presure kick to make it 20 - 19. I'd have broke the world high-jumping record when that kick went over.
