Lauaki doesn't come back on in the second half. A smart decision from Lowes, or just because he was injured?

Hopefully it's the former and Jimmy has finally seen the light!

Leigh vs bulls. When it matters...only ever one result this afternoon. Get in.

Coyb!

Great pic.

How sweet was that! After that first game, Brierley lobbing the ball at fans, Barlow thuggery, Williams copping a punch in the back of the head when he wasn't even looking, getting called a 'Yorkshire d!ckhead' on my way out of the LSV with my little nephew who I'd just taken to his first away Bulls game - to this, leaving them behind in this division in their own back yard.

Still a long way to go for us, and we may well be renewing this rivalry next year, but for now I'm certainly gonna enjoy this sweet, sweet win. How's it taste, Derek?!

Just proves that it doesn't take any genius to beat them. Keep your head when they try their high, cheap, late tactics. Complete your sets, tire them out with repeats and strike when they tire after running round like headless chickens. Excellent stuff.

Congratulations on the win today. Don't think either side where good to be honest. We gifted at least three tries to you. You can only beat what is front of you and you did that. Well done, good luck for the remainder of the season.

Thank you, very gracious in defeat

The attitude and spirit in the Bulls team was the same as Jimmy got them up for the Salford game. As I said last week, the Widnes game was never one we were targeting but this was a must-win and Lowes got them up for it brilliantly.

It was not as polished, but it was every bit as gritty and determined, and the reason we won was because we again kept up relentless pressure for the full 80, we were at them tackled like tigers, and got in their faces, and the result was that we won the lion's share of field position, ball possession and must have murdered them in yardage.

Leigh on the other hand were rarely seen as the attacking force they can be, largely because our pack was pretty much on top, and we had the go-forward. No Gaskell trumps no Ridyard, but anyway I couldn't care less, all season you have to make the best of the troops you can field. Jimmy certainly did that.

Beating SL Salford as comprehensively as we did was mammoth, but winning the KEY game of the playoffs - away at Leigh - was in its own way every bit as creditable, if not more.

We got what we deserved, and now we have to come out with exactly the same determination and frame of mind at home to Fax. When, with any luck, Fax will have that lot plus Gaskell to worry about. Of course we are not in the million pound game yet, but if we lose to Fax at home then we would not deserve to be in it either. We certainly couldn't complain. Cometh the hour and all that.

So I am quietly confident we will be in the big game, but hope it doesn't trun into a huge anti-climax. If we get there then we really, really do need Gaskell fit and raring to go. He is good enough to worry any of the contenders. But if he's not fit, then all I ask is we put the same in to that game.

For someone who wasn't in the 19 I thought Purtell was outstanding. Well done to all the Bulls players, really pleased to see you put Leigh in their place.

I've heard Leigh have signed Dayne Weston from Melbourne for next season as well as Hansen and Patterson, maybe The Buffoon was expecting his team to cruise through the middle 8s so looks like he will have to stick to his word about breaking the salary cap

Good evening Bulls fans.

I would like to start by congratulating you all on a great performance, Bulls were by far the better team today.

Regardless of some spectacularly strange *see wrong* decisions by Silverwoood today, you earned your victory today.

I sincerely hope you go on to promotion to SL, for selfish reasons, a Championship without Bulls gives us a much better chance of topping the League again next season.

I feel that if Wakefield Trinity Schoolgirls are relegated, they go into oblivion like London, leaving Halifax & Eagles as the only contenders.

Check back *if you like* but I have stated all season since round 1 that you lot are the team to beat & worry about.

We need to strengthen ...


You need to go forth & claim back your 'rightful' SL place.

Silverwood wrongly called a "forward pass" in the first half that would have put daylight between the teams. That was his worst decision i think but overall he had his usual solid and calm game. He was also wrong about the Mullaney "knock on", which could have been costly, but it did look suspicious so I can't blame him as he had to make the call. But the ball never touched the ground.

Well done Bulls. Great campaign in the Qualifiers.
No ego, just got on with it.
Well deserved.

Yes well done. Out of interest have you ever seen a team get away with so much messing about at the play the ball, even with a SL ref Leigh just seem to get away with it. pleased you stuffed them .

Congratulations on a comprehensive victory, guys.

I don't know what's gone wrong with my team, but they have been a severe disappointment these past few weeks, and have now been found wanting, by two of the Championship teams we were at least the equal of, during the league campaign. Unfortunately, when you keep giving the opposition the ball, you will get punished, and that happened yet again, today.

However, you have come good when it matters, and it doesn't really surprise me, as I had you down as favourites for a SL place this season.

So, genuine good wishes for the £ Million pound game. I hope you succeed, because that would prove that it's possible for a Championship side to get promoted, using the current set up.

Well played, great support (we'll miss that if you go up!) and good luck.
