That is what keeps jumping out at me too. They keep going on about how it was the 2nd half that was so niggly and they were dragged down to 'our level'. The 2nd half was way cleaner, faster and less nasty than the 1st so they are talking rubbish. I would love to know specifically what we did in the 2nd half that has upset them so much. I can't recall a single incident in the 2nd half other than Siejka when he got his 2nd yellow for tripping Kay.

Ah well, let them seethe over it. Winners are Grinners

How so? You lot think your team did nothing much wrong because you have tinted glasses, and our lot think we did nothing much wrong because we have tinted glasses. That's 'bo11ocks' is it?

Ah well, The winners can laugh, and the losers can please themselves.

Bradford got sucked into what?? Playing rugby? Both teams played it hard and at times this spilled over. At no point did anyone get sucked in or drawn to each others level. For what its worth i think both clubs will be in the top 4 of the middle eight. Its just very disappointing nobody from the Bradford side can say they got beat by the better side.

For 8 mins we played the first half with 11
for around 30 mins we played the first half with 12 men.

when we kept 13 men on the pitch we scored 5 tries and won the 2nd half 30 v 4. amazing that not one bradford person can say they got absolutely out played in the 2nd half you scored your only try in the 2nd half from our pass.

when was the last time Bradford lost a half 30 v 4?

anyhow appreciate the ludicrous comments im sure messars Gaskell, Lowes and Walkers comments will make the dressing room wall in the re match!!

The niggle. I said nothing about who the worst offenders were, who started it or why it happened at all. I merely said it existed, and it clearly did. Both teams then had their opportunities to react to its existence in their own ways. And they did.



Leigh were clearly the better side in the second half. If you all collectively quit looking for examples of arrogance from a club you perceive to be bigger than your own you might be a bit more inclined towards charitable interpretation in a conversational medium. It's got to be better than assuming every omission is a personal slight.

I've watched this game 3 times now and for the life of me I cannot believe that hardened professional rugby players are whining like they are.
First half both teams were equally at each other and it worked in Bradfords favour. Second half it was almost all coming from Bradford. We obviously got a good talking to at half time about "play rugby and they can't match us".
Second half we played rugby and didn't rise to the rough house and niggle of Bradford. The rest is history as they say.
Put simply,
First half we both niggled and played rough.
Second half we didn't get drawn into Bradfords attempt to continue it and put us off our game.
Bradford got drawn into our rough tactics, hog wash !
We Rose above their rough house tactics and got the win

im glad you think differently than your star player, coach and captain then. There view is at best bizarre and at worst scandalous.... see you in the summer...

James Lowes said on super League fulltime that we beat ourselves, Leigh didn't beat us. Really?


And if you beLEIGHve that, you're living in gullible world.

I couldn't believe he said that especially in to a video camera, really strange comment to make.

All this tripe that the coaching and playing staff of Bradford Bulls are putting out is nothing but a bug in the ear of the referees for our future games. They would not bring their selves to such a level if they thought it didn't benefit them in future matches. As bad as diving if you ask me.

Embarrassing from Bradford, you can imagine Jimmy Lowes mentioning it once (if that's how he feels) but to 'go on' about it, and other players join in. Guess the 2nd half scoreline didn't help, even if they were much better than us in the 1st half.
Don't know why they are so upset, I imagine they will finish top or 2nd in the championship, guess they must feel like this game was a real 'marker' and they blew it, when really it was just the 1st league game of the season.

They are still banging on about their loss on their forum ....even trying to use comedy at intervals ...I've had my username changed 3 times already ....i nearly "wetmypants"
