The play off semi final game at Central Park in 1996 One of the most open games of free flowing rugby you'll ever see.

Wigan won 42 - 36 with Shaun Edwards at his magical best scoring four tries.

It was then that you could also see that Bradford were building a very good team.

Stolen from the Dulls board but thought it'd be a good thread seeing as there's been a good few games between us and them over the years.

2007 playoffs: The come back of all come backs.

2000: Renouf makes the break in the last few seconds of the game to send Radlinski over, then Faz converts to win the game.

2000: Away at Bradford with the Cowie drop goal, just for comedy value

Those are my favourite games also. The play off game will never be done again and the Renouf try was superb and everyone was beeping their horns all around town. The Cowie drop goal was brilliant.

Was that the game where Robbie Paul through a punch at Shaun Edwards missed and hit an unexpecting Gary Connolly . Gary Conolly was at his best in that game.

I still remember Stevo "Renoufs run, Radlinskis try, Bradford ran out of numbers, but can he kick the goal!!"

Never get tired of watching that.

Beating Bradford at C. P. 14-0 in the rain, we had a load of players missing including Farrell , Mark smith played lows off the park that day .

Was that the game when Connolly robbed the ball from McAvoy I think it was and strolled in under the sticks? I remember that very well.

Both teams packed with world class players, how times change Nobby was hooker that day also captain i think Biggest cheer of the game was when Gill scored for them

2001 Grand Final was a beauty!!!

No honestly, the 96 play off game was great. even though you lot won, it was a great night, and like someone else posted, it was probably that game that signalled the start of something special at bradford.

Also that season we beat Saints and Wigan at home in consecutive weeks. I remember after the first one a saints fan moaning that by beating them, all we were doing was handing the title to wigan. i told him that we would do the same to you, and for the first time in what seemed like years, we did....happy days.
