Methinks you're a couple of letters short of the correct spelling of literary, but I think it's fair to compare the Bulls performance this season to a Shakespearian tragedy.

We, on the other hand, are a team playing at 60 percent of our potential and still in second place in the League. I've only watched 40 mins of the real Rhinos this season, and that was the first half at Headingley against Wigan. The rest has been.......different.

We are probably only 2 signings away,( right centre and 2nd row) from having a better balanced squad, and hopefully a return to playing the type of rugby that brought us back to back Championships.

Rhinos by plenty.....and Bluey with a big smile on his face Friday night!

I thought the Bulls were buying you that with the Harris money!

well of course we all know the thing that bradford are still remembered for years after ,1963 ,oh and there were other times when you also sank and other clubs pulled you out

That's an idiotic thing to say. If you actually think that that is what Bradford are remembered for you are truly a clown.

Bulls by 20

I love your confidence and honesty.

Good luck for your game ..I will have my fingers crossed that you get a win ..Our best friends of 46 year are from Bradford (Idle) .. Hope we both can talk about a win on Tuesday when the wife and I meet them

Leeds DID win the WCC in 2008, btw.

And if Leeds manage to win this year's GF - and I see no reason why they can't, they will become the first team EVER to win it 3 consecutive times.

The real stuff of legends.

As for Friday, we still have some issues but we're quietly cementing 2nd place and keeping the pressure on Saints. We've had 4 pointers against Huddsx2 and harlequins recently and won them fairly convincingly in the main. We still have the best defence and whilst we've nowhere near clicked on attack we're still the 2nd best in that department.

So all in all I'll be surprised if we don't win by 15. Having said that, I was surprised at Easter so you never know.

That's a big if with teams like Hudds' and Hull KR in contention this year aswell as Saints. So you'll be surprised if you don't win by 15? I'd say it's very likely then, oyu may win by more or less, but 15 is very unlikely

.

29-8.

Bulls by 30 points and if they fail this Macca has to go!!

We've been Huds twice in two crunch games already and HKR seem to be falling away, plus we play them at headingley. It certainly is an "IF" and I am not counting any chickens but I don't think its' that big an "IF".

Two converted tries, a penalty and a drop goal. Mark my words

I picked the last Bulls win over Leeds and have the same feeling about this one. Read into that what you will

Well I hope Softcock Bailey is included. It'll make the game just that tiny bit easier.

With him and Webb, we should be guaranteed plenty of penalties at least.

leeds arent that good as they have been in the past two years. they are pretty inconsistent. i have a sneaky feeling the bulls will win.

That would depend on the who the ref is and his particular.....shall we say "preferences"

Bailey has been a massive disappointment to me after seeing him terrorising the Aussie defence as a junior. He has had a big problem transferring & channeling that aggression to grown up rugby. Having said that he is not, or no longer is, a dirty player. He has conceded less penalties than Bradford front rowers such as Lynch, Burgess, Newton, Langley, with similar amount of games (but probably less game time). Only a keyboard warrior would refer to him as softcock however, IMO he missed a major opportunity to enhance his reputation when he flattened Fas. He was so worried about his poor reputation that he spent the next 5 minutes trying to convince everyone it was his shoulder that hit him, rather than standing up to the Saints players & saying "Yes, that was me, who's next?" which is what Barry Mac would have done.

I imagine 1 player should conceed less penalties than 4 others. Possibly 4 times less.

Are Leeds still bottom of the fair play league? I'd say you will be guaranteed lots of penalties whoever turns out for us.

He may not have lived up to his early promise but he's done enough get 3 GF winners rings. I wonder if Fa'asavalu called him a softcock

Interestingly softcock is one word you can say through wired up jaws. Unlike Dirty Gastard Gailey.

Burgess flattened him better.

I think Maurie is about as worried about Bailey as he is about Tommy Leuluai after he caught him with a good shot too.

He ripped a big Bulls pack apart at the weekend, probably made as many metres and busts in that game as Bailey has all year.

Maurie ran all over the Bulls pack at the weekend m'dear.

Don't think he came across Sam that much though, as he was hiding in the centres or "doing a Bailey" as it's known.
