Totally agree. 6-32 down and even I was saying Jimmy needs to go.
How can we play so bad - 1man rugby, a player up and we let them score 2 tries - absolute garbage.
Then we suddenly switch on and score 26 points in 18 minutes - when was the last time (if ever) we have done that! - Even in Super League, when we were actually pretty good we never pulled a comeback like that.
Ok the tactic may have been tire them out then run round them when they are struggling in the last 20 minutes but I cant believe that.
If that really was Jimmys tactic then it worked - but I doubt it. It was the James Clare & Kurt Haggerty show today, unfortunatley no-one actually told them that until 20 mins to go.
Jimmy and the players should take a real close look at the video of todays game and see what all us fans have been seeing game in game out - 1 man rugby does not win games; off-loads and quick runs do.

Not a clue why you tried taking us on up the middle.The flanks was our worry before the game,why did it take so long to discover that flaw.Good response to tie it up..See you at Blackpool..

I should think that the vast majority of Bulls fans who were there will have gone home from the game absolutely buzzing, and glad they had one of those rare "I woz there" moments, so attendance wise it can only be all good.

Until it all changed, Leigh bossed us in most areas, but not by much, and some on here are being way too harsh. We were making too many errors, the one-man tactic wasn't working, and Leigh were winning most of the collisions and had plenty running in support in attack, and we were second best. But one thing they never did all game was give up, and despite making it very hard for ourselves, we kept at it.

In fact, we would have gone in at half time only one score behind if not for the outrageous professional foul, which certainly saved 6 points. So despite everything, we were by no means out of the game.

The giveaway try to take it to 6-32 was just a freak, but that was the stage i feared the worst, in recent years that would have signalled yet another 50 point bending.

But, what nobody has so far given us credit for, is it turned out that we had taken far more out of Leigh than they had taken out of us. One by one, their players were starting to run on empty, and suddenly we were on the front foot. It wasn't the plan, of course not, but the reason we scored at will for the last 20 minutes was because Leigh had nothing left, much though they tried, and that can only be because we had beaten them comprehensively in the energy battle.

Nobody can be happy either at getting to 6-32, or in many aspects of the way we played, but we do at least now have a team that is able to live up to our new motto, "we don't quit", and the fact that we were able to and willing to keep on our roll and scrape a draw was, to me at least, a very refreshing change from the catalogue of surrenders once we got a bit behind.

Also, I would like to publicly thank the 3 guys who at 6-32 retired to the Premier Club bar, and stayed there. They said they kept hearing cheers, and wondered whether they should go back, but generously chose not to, in case it was all their fault, and they hexed the comeback. Now that's what I call selfless dedication!

I don't think it was energy that did us, it was as soon as higham left the pitch you just got a role on and we went one out rugby and couldn't keep hold of the ball! A very good match I'd of taken that before the game! Put Kay and Armstrong back in and I'd be happy!

Strange one today, depression and elation all in one game. Thought we lost the collision nearly all the game and were very soft in the tackle compared with Leigh. We obviously learned nothing about Higham and marker defence from last year. Big plus was Clarke but Blythe was shocking. Jimmy's inability to motivate the team from the off is worrying. They should have been tearing up trees from the kick off but looked like they couldn't give a toss.

Sorry but that's just plain wrong, at no point did they "look like they couldn't give a toss", I don't mind different points of view but while they looked a poor second best for much of the first hour, one thing they did do is keep going.

Was mate, you were shot, and that's why every time we got the ball we went to your end and scored. Your lads were out on their feet at the break, but so they should have been as it was a good display. But it told in the end.

Think your right that we looked a lot better when higham went off, but think that's a lot to do with silverwood reffing his own game during that time as opposed to listening to highams constant chirping like he did rest of game.

Terrible first 60 from us followed by a very good 20. Lived Up to this years tag line perfectly.

I can see why some may think that. 30 minutes to go and on the wrong end of a spanking and there was just no enthusiasm at all. Players plodding around with no effort to get the game restarted at stoppages. It wasn't until they got a sniff that they suddenly found some energy and urgency. A very frustrating game for me. The Bulls showed what they are capable of but where was the effort earlier on?

A mixture of emotions today, i did think Silverwood was poor in a few areas but not that it would have made much difference if we had lost.
Hingham could not stop talking to the ref, even laughing and joking with him i wonder if he is laughing now!
I did at one stage say somebody needs to have a word with Jimmy and he needs to bang a few heads together to sort the dribble we were watching for 65 mins, Leigh scored 4 times from our pathetic mistakes this has just got to stop or next time we may not be so lucky.

I and a few friends said bring on the female Bulls team as they may do better.....well somebody on the pitch must of heard us it was like lighting the blue touch paper then sit back and watch. To come back from 26 down was an outstanding performance and i have to hand it to the team for the perseverance and true grit to come up with such a final result.

A point lost or point gained i don't care which, it was the way they played in the last 17 mins made it one of the games to remember at Odsal

I don't think this is too wide of the mark except the couldn't give a toss bit. We were just being beaten in the collision whether with the ball or in defence. At the end everything we tried just came off and we were back in it. Missing a 'recognised' scrum half made no difference unless we sign one who is going to make 40 tackles, 10 tackle busts at 200 metres a game. This was miles away from where either side need to be if they are going to challenge in the playoffs. But having said that what value for money.
