Game and Paul Rowleys reaction now viewable on LC TV....Sleep beckons

You are a jewel my friend. I got to work this morning thinking that I would have a chance to listen to the game on line as 7am on Sunday is supposed to be quiet(ish) and of course the world went bang and I heard all of 3 minutes of the game and we were 12 nil down in the bit I heard. I then knew nothing of the score until much later. After reading this entire board I cannot wait to watch the game now I'm home but never imagined I would be able to do it tonight.
Great work Fred, you are one dedicated Leyther.
My sincere thoughts to you and all the family at this time. To spend the time to get this game on at this time will never be forgotten by me. Now I'm going to do what you have done justice, crack a beer and cheer my head off.
Thank you

Me too VL, one privilege of living in Canada, we often get to watch the videos first!

Thanks Fred, and condolences also.

My 2 minute match report will be on RugbyAM radio between 7-8 tonight. Might be a bit husky!

Well I just finished watching the game and I spent more time in the second half on my feet than on the couch. I am absolutely exhausted after that game, I can only imagine how the fans at the game felt at the end.
Bottom line, we got the start to the season that we all dreamed about, and we were far from perfect. Talk about a team with balls. Our boys never know when to lie down.
Second half we were so much faster and stronger than Bradford. They will get better but they will not get faster. Looking ahead, if we play smart rugby I don't think they have the size to beat us in the pack, or the speed to beat us in the backs.
We are in for a hell of a season. Our lads should be very proud of themselves tonight. They did everything to win that game and they also did everything to make sure that our fans base continues to grow.

Sounds like Im going to have to contribute to leigh coffers again to watch what sounds like a cracking game.

Would like to know a few specific examples of these "niggly tactics", rather than hearing them belly aching about gutter tactics. In fact, they took a 20-6 lead when our discipline was bad. And I imagine Lowes would've had a few words to say to the ref at half time if he was in Rowley's shoes. Was a shocking display, and they were lucky not to see a couple of players sent off.

No mention of a member of the Bulls back room staff shouting YOUR A LOAD OF F%^&*$G C*&^%$S around the tunnel area and chasing after Derek down the corridor when he laughed at him though is there?

have a look at the 'late tackle' by the scrum half on Sam Barlow and then refer to 'gutter tactics' a deliberate high forearm smash to the head, pictures dont lie.

Don't forget, we lured them into those gutter tactics. McNally, clearly lured Williams into flooring him, and how the scrum half wasn't sent off I'll never know.

Red card any day of the week,he really has a massive chip on his shoulder and was in the refs ear all game,can't remember anyone getting two yellows in a game before.Lowes is renowned for being a gobby git and not the most popular of people in the game, but tension was high and I'm not surprised "words" were said, Derek is no shrinking violet lets be honest.
