| Despite the Win, which obviously i am over the moon about, i have some concerns.
Firstly, our discipline was poor last season & still hasn't improved. Yes the boys get fired up by/for the fans & yes they take no Bull (not a pun) but this needs to improve for SL to become a reality.
Secondly, we started too slowly & had some very poor tackling in the 1st half. I recall one of the Bulls tries in the North Stand East corner, we had 5 defenders v Bulls 2 attackers & the try was waltzed through.
Not all doom & gloom though, the Attendance puts many Clubs to shame (see Londons attendance yet again) & as a team Leigh showed a Never Say Die attitude reminiscent of the best Man United teams.
I predict Bradford will top this League & London Broncos will fold *unless bailed out by the RFL again*
The playoffs in the middle 8 will be to tight to call.
Congrats to the team & I hope that the "Big Time" supporters normally only found at Blackpool & Headingly come back again & again & again.

| Aye, well done Leigh. I bet even Charlie slipped a wee dram into his coke after that! It's just a pity for you lads that you will come crashing down to earth next week at The Shay. Hudd-Shay knows. Kings Head, shudds. Mallinsons Aramis 4.2 % Mmm!

| Since I moved down to Mid-Wales, I've worked on Sundays and/or I've had too much to do refurbishing my house. But I just HAD to come up for this one!! My thanks to all that recognized me, and said hello!
Ticket + fuel from Mid-Wales + lunch at Morrisons (surprisingly nice!) + a pack of fags, + programme + ONE pint in the Whistling Wren meant that the game cost me a Quid a minute. BUT IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!! So the cost means I'll be picking my games ....
Such a pity the ref left his b*lls and rule book at home. There was at least one red card incident there, and a lot of his decisions were a mystery to me. Just one concern from me. I felt we didn't clamp the ball in the tackle and allowed too many ground making offloads. My top highlight was FuiFui's break. which eventually led to a try. Top class ....

| Thought we were taken by surprise early on by just how good Bradford are, they're obviously a class above in strength, speed and skill what we've been used to for the last few years. Fortunately as we got used to the game & after whatever Rowley said at half time our true quality managed to shine through. Despite Penky having a fantastic game I still think we're better off starting with Bob, think he could have done better at calming everything down early on & helping us get settled into the game sooner.
Do think Bradford though are clearly a team with Karl Harrison on their coaching staff, played his trademark niggly, hard slow it right down game then complain about absolutely everything when your opposition stand up to you and have a strop for the next 3 days when it obviously doesn't work; no idea why Bradford signed him, he's nothing to offer.
Ref was doing well until the fight then looked a bit out of his depth, some bizarre decisions like the sin binning for a tackle in the air but not for Bradford's professional fouls.
All in all not only have we've beaten the favourites for the league but we've done it from 14 points behind, very positive performance. Hopefully the disciplinary will be kind & everyone will be fit to go again for Fax next week.

| They weren't a class ahead in skill in my eyes, and I think we were fitter than them, and it certainly showed in the last 15 minutes. It was mainly our discipline in the first half - reacting to typical Yorkshire bully boy tactics costing us dearly. Second half, that was cut out, and it showed massively.

Yep. What he said. Couldn't agree more.

I like him, a very shrewd signing for the Bulls.

| The sin binning for the tackle in the air was because we were on a team warning, wasn't it? Thought their winger should have seen red instead of yellow, but we got away with a couple of players running in to the scrap throwing haymakers which may well come back to haunt us when the video is reviewed. Can't blame the referee for poor discipline as far as I'm concerned.
The first half hour was like going back to the days when Huddersfield and Salford came down and we couldn't compete with them 13 v 13 so tried to rough it up and had players sent off all over the place. The second half proved that, once we concentrate our own game, very few teams will be able to live with us.

| Top post Matt, I agree with every word.
Too many hotheads in our squad who are way to easy to wind up and put them off their game. We are going to get a lot of it this season so we've got to rise above it and stick to what we do best - RUGBY LEAGUE.
Yesterday's second half showed what happens when we do.
