Yes, I was there and joined in that signing - he gave the V's twice, he did it again behind his back after our first chorus you mention, I remember it being a searingly hot day too, and he just melted away in that second half ...I've never before or since seen a player removed from the game so completely by the crowd.

Yes it was hot and for sure - I have never seen a player affected by the crowd like that either.

He deserved it and I lost a lot of respect for Ablett last night - the try says all thats required - the "V" is guaranteed to start trouble.

Which it did!

Warrington seems to be etched into the mind, anyone remember Nigel Vagana giving out [more than] a few niggles and when a couple of Bulls defenders had had enough they [accidentally ] guided him directly into one of the Sky cameras in the corner. I watched the replays on Sky later and Stevo was going bananas and demanding to know if they "knew how much those cameras cost". Actually it might have been a tad before SL, but not much.

It was Graham Bradley and Matt Calland who did that IIRC.

MacNamara was definitely involved.

I also enjoyed his penalty kick to touch at the Boulevard

That was funny, but i suspect not so much if you were on the reciving end, he hit it like missile - flat and fast, definatly not your average kick to touch. But to be fair that threepenny stand had been giving him dogs abuse all afternoon.

That Warrington incident with the TV camera was Jon Scales and Steve MacNamara tackling Mark Forster. I remember that Andy Gregory (or lickle Gregory in Ray French speak) walked down the touchline straight after without batting an eyelid.

The previous bit of play could well have involved Calland and Bradley and got Bradford's defence fired up.

The match at the Boulevard with that touch finder was in a bit of a bad tempered atmosphere. It started when Bulls supporters did a weak rendition of the "We Will Rock You" clapping that used to happen at games. Threepenny Standers set the tone with an easy to guess reply asking what that was (to the tune of "You're not fit to referee")

I did enjoy the playoff game at Saints when Shonny got the winning try on the left side. Fans went berserk knowing we were on our way to Old Trafford again. Happy days

3 more Bulls Wire memories
2000 Odsal, tony Hadley per match and stuffed 50 points past them with Alfie Langer, Andrew Gee and Tawera Nikau.
Wilderspool not sure of year, drawing in last minute, Deacon goes for 40 20, Wire winger dives to stop it going in touch but pats ball into in goal area and Scott Naylor jogs up and touches down in front of Bulls supporters!
HJ not sure of year, Deacon & Briers exchange drops for last 5 mins, we get last one to win by 1, great memories
