'Cummins also revealed Danny Addy suffered a bang to the head and Manase Manuokafoa a knock to the shoulder. Neither sounds too serious but will be assessed.' - from the T&A.

Hopefully nothing too serious there. Bateman back for the Widnes game I think.

Fantastic win. Think that Saints defeat last week may have done us some good. Every single player turned up today, fantastic result! The Giants will do well this year so that is a massive 2 points away from home.

Well i didnt see that coming. Was hoping you played like you did against Saints then you play like you did at Wakey. Well done.
At least we have two more cracks at you this year.

Suspect we won't rush Bateman back while team is winning. Probably does more minutes for u19s next wek then in 1st team for hull kr game.

just want to give a big shout out to the guy at half time.....did the half time challenge and then unfurled a Kopout banner as he walked off the middle of the pitch....priceless

Which was confiscated by the announcer!

It was class. He had some front.

Don`t get carried away too much with the win, granted the Bulls played well today and deserved the win, but even a local pub team would have beaten the Giants today, they beat themselves with too many dropped balls, idiotic moves, and rubbish defence. That performance was pathetic and unacceptable.

Baloo although unhappy will be able to use the result to remotivate his players and probably glad its happend now early on, Franny will be delighted with the Bulls as a response to poor starts then keeping it going!
Just need the Team to keep that level of performance going and hope medium/long term injuries keep away!

Maybe your coach should stop saying things like that
and try and give his players some credit instead of
saying how poor they were. On the other hand.......

Regardless as to all that, if Bulls beat Widnes and Leeds beat Huddersfield, as long as the combined margins of victory is above ten, Bulls will move above you in the table.

Yeh yeh yeh, we heard this rubbish last time we embarrassed you at home as well. Beaten by a better team on the day who were prepared to put in the hard work to get the result. You looked poor because we put you under pressure and exploited weaknesses in your team.

We're under no illusions on here, we will have a few sticky patches this year but today was a very good performance from our guys. Short turn around for our trip to Widnes and if we allow our enthusiasm levels to drop it might well be us on the wrong end of a score come Friday night.

And we did that missing Bateman, Diskin, Gale & Purtell - all of whom you would have put in the starting 13 at the start of the season, as well as Platty.

Its funny, though, how whenever we win its always because the other side were apparently total pants? Its never because we might just have contributed to them having an off-day by not allowing them to play as they planned? I'm sure Hudds would not have made all those errors if they were not under pressure?

Sammut's hat trick has to be the most bizarre hat trick I have ever seen! The second try was so cheeky

It's hardly a situation that is unique to Bradford though, is it?

What, the injuries or the excuses of the losing side?

If you mean the latter, no its not. We seem to get it most times we win though - not sure that's something you suffer from? (Except from Wigan...)

Well done on the win......we were bloody awful and 2nd best in every department today and you took advantage big time.

I'm beginning to think some of these Giant's fan's are not as bad as I thought? Thank you very much for your Kind words.. Giant Daz.

It's a trap.

no complaints from me at all, yes we we poor,very poor and lacked creativity and organisation that brough brings, but we still had enough quality to win games but that shouldn't take away what a good result it was for you
you were faster,stronger and hungrier than we were and despite you not playing brilliant stuff you did all the right things and took advantage of our mistakes and were clinical.
well done on the win,bring on the magic weekend so we can even it up

Better team won yesterday, you had a kicking game, Heath ran the show and more importantly, you have practiced catching this week, we havent!

L'Estrange was outstanding. Picked his dummy half runs to perfection, and guided the game superbly at other times. Involving Kearney more in the halves role in attack helped too as it meant not so much pressure on Addy to run the game. Our combo for L'Estrange, Kearney & Sammut was spot on, with Addy helping out when need be.

The fact Huddersfield couldn't catch helped quite a bit admittedly, but if L'Estrange runs a game like that every week, we won't go far wrong.

Gotta say, it was massively out of character for Huddersfield who looked a far better side when I saw them earlier this year. Not sure why they suddenly forgot how to catch a ball, but it worked nicely in our favour. Was basic errors from them that cost so much possession rather than anything that needs loads of work, so I wouldn't be too disheartened if I was one of their fans.

precisely. we were always going to have a blip at some point,every team does.i think brough missing was the main factor for us. not only is he a good place kicker but he is our main creator,captain,organiser and his defence is pretty damn good too,again leading by example.without his leadership we crumbled.
yesterday we made a poor start and things spiralled from there i think, bradford just kept things simple,kept trundling the ball up and doing the basics right and had the players to punish us when they did,also i thought koppy was trying to put the big hits in and trying to hard rather than just get on with his normal game, i dont think the knock on and penalty helped him or the welcome you lot gave him

Congrats on the win!
After seeing you at Danny McGuire's Testimonial and your first game of the season I was actually very impressed.

We've got Huddersfield this coming Friday should be an interesting game.

Heres his first try in a Bulls shirt
