Gutted I couldn't be there today, but family represented by son, daughter and son in law, 2 grandkids and son-in-law's dad. 3 of these haven't been to a match for a few years, so that's encouraging. And what a result. Guaranteed top 2 now. 2 more points and we're champs again - I think ....

What a strange game. Our forwards were imense and consistently made big yards, yet we didn't complete much. Our defence was brutal at times yet we kept piggy backing them up field with silly penalties. I must say that is the worst Bradford team I've seen in twenty years yet we kept gifting them ball. Our attack looked slick at times but we kept bombing try's. All in all we just did enough but I can't help feeling we should have put 40 on them today.

Hands up if you enjoyed that one!!



What a match! Micky Higham was the best player on the pitch by a mile.

A frustrating performance but in a game like that all that matters is the result.

Those last few minutes defending repeat sets on our line seemed to last forever.

If Bradford didn't beat us today they never will because we were all over the place for large portions of that match and still came through to pinch it near the death.

I think we should start planning for Super League 2018. The performance was too much hit and miss, a good team would have destroyed us today and the sooner Reynolds replaces Burns the better we will be.

I thought Burns and Drinkwater were good today. Some of those short balls from Burns at first receiver to the on running forwards were well disguised and perfectly timed and certainly confused the bulls defence.

Sorry, don't see why Travis Burns starts every game, whilst Riddy gets a rare bench slot now & then, and Ben Reynolds is 'sat in the stands'. !

Think your right don't think we have anywhere near enough to trouble Leeds or any other sl team. how is burns keeping people out the team he is rubbish felt sorry for riddy one of our local lads and best players over the past 3 years and all he gets is a 15 min spell :

get rid of burns and bring riddy in I say . We really will have to be on top note next week or fax WILL turn us over.

Riddy can't pass to his right and the balls are too slow and loopy, both Burns and Drinky fizz the balls out.

Thought drink water was very good today! Burns was very poor! At fault for the first 2 try's he's defence is very poor and positionaly wise he was poor! Riddy isn't a interchange hooker! Have him and drink water at halfbacks! Higham starting with hood on the bench

Reynolds wasn't rested he is injured and was injured last week too. Ben needs to be in the team when fit.

Thought Burns did ok today. Didn't particularly stand out but did a decent job.

Drinkwater was excellent once again.

We looked great at the start with Weston, Higham, Moimoi as the front row but seemed to lose our way when we took them off.

Micky Higham coming back on with 5 minutes to go just seemed to give everyone a huge boost. The crowd got louder, the players seemed more urgent and you could just feel the momentum swing as soon as Higham came back onto the pitch.

Another great performance from our Captain!

This band of brothers just doesn't know when they are beaten !

I suggest a trip to Specsavers, Drinkwater was OK but Burns was not good, he was taking the simple and easy options every time.

Playing like we did today, we have no chance of promotion. We desperately need outside backs with pace and defence.

I suggest you come with me, they have a 2 for 1 offer. Watch the game again on Lctv and take your blinkers off.

Well in my eyes Burns took the wrong option more often than not.

Riddy must start with Drinkwater next week.

On current form I would suggest Drinkwater at 6 and Reynolds at 7 would be our best combination. Both have been playing brilliantly! Although I am unsure when Reynolds is back from injury.

Rugby league player is not a job for life. Competition should give life to a team. As pointed out elsewhere, the team do not know when they are beaten.

On the game itself I was surprised at the delaying tactics, 'injuries' etc employed by Bradford at scrums and drop outs. Don'the think Addy had anything left to bandage by the time we had finished

Thank you Leigh

Thought worthington was good today, but something not right with Kay, and he confirmed with the break that he has deffo lost a yard or 2 of pace

And I believe the transfer deadline has closed, so we have what we have - like it or not

Transfer deadline is about 2 weeks away I think.

1 week before the end of the league.

Deadline is far too late IMO but wouldn't mind us taking advantage of it if we can!

A top quality winger to compliment Higson would do nicely, Kay just isn't delivering this season like he did last year. Higson is in great form!

But don'the they have to have played 3 games to be allowed to play in the middle 8s, hence the glut of signings last week?

I have to hang my head low & admit I wasn't there today, but in my defence her indoors booked our 4 year olds 5th Birthday party for today (yes you read that right) & a life time of earache would be more painful than missing today.

I did follow @Mark_Taylor on twitter & then MIXLR late on & I was terrified in that 2nd half.

Big raps to all the Leigh & Bradford fans *it sounded great even on MIXLR*.

I don't think anyone will be promoted this season but I will be there for the 8's & at LSV next week for Fax.

What concerns me most is that we have spent 'BIG' very 'BIG' yet seem a mile off SL, yet SL is poor this year.
Looking at our squad you would [ithink[/i SL should be [iachieveable[/i but yet it looks anything but. If it looks this way on our recruitment then what chance any other Club ?

On a positive note, it seems we have [isome of[/i the old Man Utd type NEVER SAY DIE attitude which might just help us achieve something against one of the SL 8's teams.

Well done Leigh, a win v Fax next Sunday & League Leaders 3 in a row.

I really enjoyed today's game, and I think Bradford seem to raise their game when playing us, I thought they were a tad unlucky to come away with nothing today.
Our performance was a mixed bag,the forwards again were massive, Mick H,Reni, Harrison, Hock, Fui,and Cory all ran hard,the backs did nowt wrong they just lack a yard of pace, I worry about the middle 8s especially Leeds and Hudds,but you have to be in it to win it and we are Deffo in it
I'm still not sure about our best half back combo,Drink, Burns or Riddy even through in Reynolds , but I think we looked a void of ideas when Mick H went off, still we are top, bring on Fax next week should be a cracker.Can't wait.

Not seem em play for a while (probably due to the run of away games) and for the 1st 15mins today though we had it sussed, dominating the rucks quick PTB, in Bradfords faces not giving them an inch. Not doing anything spectacular but controlling the game at what seemed a SL pace, playing SL type rugby - expected us to go on from there and put 40 past em. From there we seemed to lose the plot a bit and let Bradford dominate us. Then when we had to towards the end we seemed to step it up a bit and sneaked it.

Came away a bit deflated TBH, needs the full 80 to stand any chance, and not seen anything close if I'm honest

True Charlie, should be a good 'un against Fax.

First half today Leigh dominated but let Bulls off the hook. But, Leigh were average and Bulls very average.

Second half was even-stevens, both sides average.

Mickey made all the difference today. Riddy is no 9 and shouldn't be even asked to play there. He's a 6, kicks better than Smith and Burns combined. And of course he can pass to his right!

Overall, a decent second half for the neutrals and an exciting finale - but SL?

Nah. Not even close.
