Chris Joynt's VT and Jimmy Lowes lip. There may have been a thread about it once upon a time -:)

I have got to admit the 2010 game against Wigan was one that was filled with a lot of emotion for me. 20-0 down at half-time and when Kearney raced away to score I jokingly turned to my cousin and said comeback is on. But then Orford showed his masterclass and being 4 points down, man was I on edge! Then Roberts threatened to do a full length of the field effort until he was clobbered and dropped the ball with a min and a half to go! All the crowd urging the Bulls to get over that line and once L'Estrange dummied and laid a short ball to Glenn Hall, the crowd, the players, the staff just all erupted! It was phenomenal! A bit of revenge for the 31-30 loss against them a few years earlier!

yes the Withers drop-goal was an epic.
And so many Hape & Volcano double acts.
I cant remember which game it was; but I remember Stevie Macnamara and Jez Donagher clashing heads - despite both having blood pouring from their heads they got straight back up and into the defensive line ready for the next tackle - tough guys or what.
My memory is going now but one season didnt we beat Leeds 5 times?
The Brian Mac punching 3 Leeds players then getting a red card, but we still won.
Paul, supersub Medley scoring the winner in the semi-final.
Big Joe Vagana bowling Keith Senior over at Headingley.
I remember drinking with the players at Cedar hotel off M606 after the game; in fact both Stevie Mac and Jimmy Lowes still owe me one.
Those were the good old days

Yes! What scenes they were haha!

Anyone remember big Paul 'Baloo' Anderson's massive hand-off on Gary Connelly on the way to a try under the sticks Still have a chuckle now when I see that!!

Paul Grayshon playing the ball on the opponents 20 and it ending up on our own 40. God knows what happened.

The come back against Halifax at Thrum hall has to be one of the best games I've seen.

Too young to remember that one! 1997 I think? But my grandad remembers that game fondly! Glad it's on Youtube now though

I remember being sat on a coach to an away game. I forget if it was a final or just a regular away game. I forget where it was even to. But I remember the coach was playing a replay of that game on the small TV in the middle of the aisle. Everyone on the bus was enjoying it, but essentially just waiting for one moment. When Anderson scored that try and it showed the replays of his palm print in Connolly's face, the whole bus erupted.

I have loads of great memories of Bradford Northern & Bulls. In recent times, the best will still be the singing and unison of the concourse of the DW Stadium after beating Wigan on a day when everyone thought the club was in real trouble of being no more. It was an amazing coming together of fans. If you weren't there, it's very difficult to express just how it felt. Something a video filmed on a smartphone just can't convey.

While Mick is getting panned on the other thread, the series of past photos & memories he's put up on twitter last night are amazing!

I'd have to say the best (if not, one of the best) handoffs ever to be produced on a rugby pitch. The way Connelly was just shunted out of the way by that shovel of a hand

Aye, the Wigan game away was a great experience, although a lot of that emotion was down to the fact that we were going out of business and then beating them in their own backyard!! Who could forget Ainscough and Burgess leading the dance at the end!
