Looking at the table, I'd say coming in 4th offers the best plan of games. They play the SL teams at 9th-11th at home, then they play the 12th and championship teams at home.

Surely we should be confident of beating any championship team if we're looking for promotion and a team at the foot of SL would be our best chance of a SL scalp, so away ties to these wouldn't be so bad.

Leigh have 3 or 4 hot heads, so it should be easy for us to get under their skin and earn a few penalties. Bailey would only make that easier.

Why don't you try and beat us with skill? or haven't you got any? Blaming the ref isn't the answer.

FWIW Since beating you guys, Leigh have got much better since then........ Have you?

Leigh certainly didn't show to have much skill in the end, it took the referee to suddenly lean in your favour for you to suddenly 'play skilfully'

Have either of us had an opponent to compare yet? London are still poor and all you've done is beat a bunch of part time teams as we have. You should be pleased with your teams results when you don't win promotion and can boast that you beat all the other championship teams!

I think we are saving the getting better bit until it matters. Bulls have a lot of experience of preparing for similar events and several of those involved are still involved with the club. Several of the squad have hardly drawn breath yet. The Bulls showed in the first half at Leigh how the game should be played. Let's just say that the full complement of the 'Leigh Team' did enough to ensure things couldn't continue like that.....It was just a little too obvious.

I don't blame the ref. As a fan I would have done exactly the same.

Cokey didn't like the idea of us exploiting their short falls of having some stupid players in their team. But what is the difference between this and running your biggest player at a smaller player? Or attacking a weaker side once it's known to be weaker or have a weakness? The game is about finding your opponents weaknesses and taking advantage of it, Leigh had so many they had to have a fan as the referee to their advantage

1. You certainly need a visit to Specsavers. Don't forget that Siejka didn't do you any favors did he.

2. You were lucky to beat Batley.

3. Also Bradford won't get into SL for next season as Leigh will.

4. Continue to enjoy life in the championship next year.

5. So the second half was THE REF 30 BRADFORD 4. get over yourself. Leigh blew you away in the second half.

You were just weak second half, Full stop. Stop being twisted about it and get over it.

And the ref was neutral that day.. Batley for SL.

For a side that 'belongs in SL' you love had a couple of off days too against London (round 1) and Halifax so you've got no hope of promotion either by your logic.

I thought both the leigh player and Siejka were equally to blame, they were all over each other and the 2nd yellow was a terrible decision by a terribly overwhelmed referee.

And we blew you away first half so by that account we're equal of half performances.

Despite us having a much weaker halfback pairing compared to Leigh, which hopefully time will fix, I figure the game at odsal will be entirely different and you won't be so smug at the end of it. You were just lucky you caught us at your place at the start of the season with 50% of our team new

No it wasn't and you know it.

But we scored more and won, and that's all that matters.

Lee Gaskell weak? Are you serious.

Not smug at all, I would never complain if we got beat by the better team.You simply got beat by the better
team at the end of the day. So just get over it.

At 20-6 up at half time a good team would usually go on to win, you didn't. You lost by 12.

Then you should've been ready at the start of the season knowing you were going to play a top class team. Have you got any better since?
