    Bradford Bulls: Sam Burgess Not Ruling Out A Return To Club He Still Supports

    Jeez, what a nothing story. The Bulls fans have the same thread on thier board about him saying "if I decide to come back". He said all this on the pitch at Odsal last week while trying to get support for the new Season Ticket pledge promotion they are doing at the Bulls. Of course he's going...

    Challenge Cup 3rd rnd - Leeds Met Uni vs Doncaster - Headingley Stadium - 08/03/08

    Wow, first time since I posted that I have looked back at these. Something has gone wrong somewhere down the line :lol:

    Playoffs

    It's just the way it works. I'd love to get to the point where the league is that even and competative that any of the top 8 can take out the title. That's what we strive for and it would increase the popularity of the game. A lot of Leeds fans have been moaning the last couple of years when...

    Heighington the Lion

    Yes, he is a good solid player, but.... the back row is the strength of English RL atm. Reed I can understand as we arent flush on decent centres but come on, look at the depth we have in the back row. I doubt he would get in.

    Playoffs

    Well we finished 4th last year and beat Wigan at the DW. Then got a home tie against Wigan 2 weeks later in the semi which we lost so it didnt really bother us as far as having to play 5th. I'd take 4th for the obvious reason that you get a 2nd chance and if you do win away you get straight...

    Brough or Lomax ?

    McGuire's not just a running half any more though. Thats the point I tried to make before. His kicking is very good when he gets a chance. Far superior to Burrow and i'd even go as far as saying that Sinfield hasn't got the best kicking game out of hand. If you can find any games from the end of...

    Playoffs

    Yeah but 1 week is a hell of a lot of time in the world of sport. I've never been big headed enough to ever say we WILL beat a team. It can come back to bite you. As for Catalan and Wigan... I know it happened once this year but I cant see it happening again. I said a few weeks back that...

    Brough or Lomax ?

    Perceptions go a long way towards how a set of fans think in sport. A lot of people still think McGuire is just a 1 trick pony because he scored 36 tries, most from backing up, 7 years ago when he burst on to the scene. He hasnt been that player for about 3 or 4 years now. Last year he was the...

    Brough or Lomax ?

    No one mentioning McGuire? He has been 7 for Leeds since he came back from injury and is getting back to his form from last season that would have seen him a cert in the England team. All this talk about Sinfield controling things is partly true but McGuire really developped into a top...

    Playoffs

    We have a chance PP. If we beat Hudds i'd fancy our chances against Wire just because they have had an easy game followed by a week off and would be going into the game cold against a team playing 2 weeks in a row at high intensity.

    Playoffs

    Leeds are looking very good at the moment. If you take away the Quins game before the cup final we havent played poorly since early June. I think on form we are a top 4 team again as Hudds seem to have crashed. Not saying next week will be a walk in the park but we should go in as favorites and...

    Playoffs

    Maybe it's down to pay day being next week and it being the end of the working month? I know they are low in general but this weekends was a massive drop. I was working until 5.30 last night so couldnt make the game anyway but even if I hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to afford £20 for the...

    Champions!

    You can't really take into account the result the week after the cup final. I mean, come on. We have won the cup and been beat the week after by 70 points at Saints. By the same token, they have won the cup and we have beat them by 70. Both teams are great attacking, dont get me wrong. I just...

    Champions!

    Union is decided the same way and it gets the coverage. The NFL is probably the biggest league in the world and that's decided in a play off. The NRL is the most watched sport on TV in Australia and gets plenty of coverage. I like how you pick up on that but fail to acknowledge everything else...

    Champions!

    Oh and Wireman, the hubcap hadn't even been handed out every year since the playoffs started. Between 98 and 03 I believe nothing was presented for getting 1st seed in the Superleague play offs. Only since 04 has a token flimsy shield been handed to the team finishing highest in the regular...

    Champions!

    Champions :lol: You were the league leaders, Not League Champions. That means sweat FA! Maybe in 4 weeks I'll come back and say I was wrong when I said you'd win nothing a few months back. Until then I still can't see you beating Wigan when it counts. I even have a sneaky suspicion that...

    3rd Test: England v India at Birmingham Aug 10-14, 2011

    3 quick wickets for England. India are 4-75 and controlling the match early.

    Tom Burgess

    That Julie Burgess sure knew how to produce 'em. I've never seen 4 brothers as talented as these 4 in any sport. Not saying it'd happen but theres a good chance down the line that alll 4 would be on the England team. That'd be unheard of!

    2011 Super League results & crowds

    Honestly, don't think it's because you beat us last year that I thought that. I put it all over RLFans before the win against Wigan in the Quarters and again before the semi that if we lost I'd be happy because we could concentrate on the important prize and not have any distractions going into...

    2011 Super League results & crowds

    :lol: Looks that way doesn't it. And yes Wireman, I was at Wembley last year. You played well that day and deserved the win. SL is the be all and end all of British RL though and until you prove yourself in that I think I am in my right to make that prediction :) Oh, and I did say this last...
