This time tommorow we will no the outcome of the Tetley's Rugby Super League grand final, which club will it be that goes on to host the Penrith Panthers for the right to call themselves World Champion?

Bradford must be faivorates with there impressive pack and huge backline
Wigan the sentimental faviorate, with a youthful exuberance unmatched in the premiership.

 

[southern warrior]

the auckland bulls will win.

 

[In-goal]

Auckland Bulls nice touch

 

[southern warrior]

well its true who are bradfords best players

 

[Parra_Eels]

have they ever considerd playing world club challenge over here. i mean it gives the esl club a huge advantage although i spose the roosters whooped st helens arse.
penrith will win although its a huge climate change from penrith to england.

 

[JasonE]

well its true who are bradfords best players

Stuart Fielden and Jamie Peacock

 

[southern warrior]

well personally i would say robbie paul and lesley vinakolo

 

[Rooster Lozz]

Yeah well its all over and the Bulls won 25-12, pretty good game actually. I have to say though the turning point was a shocking call that went against Wigan when Brian Carney was head slammed and lost the ball. It was 6-6 and consequently he was stretchered off and didnt come back on and the Bulls score a try from that set of 6. Bulls ran away with it in the end but this was a crucial call that in my eyes should have been a penalty.
Bradford have got nothing and the Panthers will kill them in the WCC! I especially hope that Vanacolo or however you spell it gets slammed!
He deserves a good hair bair brothers smashing!

arnet you forgetting BIG joe vagana??

also i think bradford might just beat the panthers

 

[In-goal]

Bradford aren't as easy to roll as many Aussie fans think, infact the only side in England that seams to be able to deal with them is St.Helens with there ball players.

I don't know if Penrith play the right sort of defence to keep the Bulls at bay.

 

[JasonE]

The Bulls are an awesome team when they get on a roll.

The experience of Lowes and a few others showed through today. Felt sorry for Wigan, they played with much grit up until 1/2 time. Bit like Penrith, but the difference being that they got done in the backend of the game

I thought the ref was crap to be brutally honest, he made a few dodgy calls, that whilst not costing Wigan the game, definitely took their advantage away and gave Bradford a leg up

Good game though and an awesome crowd. I saw Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Roy Keane were there as well, good to see! Id say keane would make a good replacement for Lowes :lol:

Cheers,
Moffo

why not play the wcc in gosford or something would sell out in gosford
good win to the bulls

 

[In-goal]

they would have no trouble seeling out Penrith Stadium, but it's under contract to be in Britian for the next couple of years.

auckland bulls, I like Kiwi Bulls more (Robbie Paul, Joe Vagana, Lesley Vainikolo, Tevita Vaikona, Shontayne Hape and Logan Swann)
Come on you Bulls!

 

[southern warrior]

and toe kohe-love has just signed for the bulls for the next 3 years.

Sorry to have to tell you this but under the new trade agreement laws the only real Kiwi you have is Shontayne Hape ,all the rest are classed as South Sea Islanders so the Bulls can rort the overseas quota . Pacific Bulls maybe ?

well thats just stupid nearly all of those players have played for new zealand and isnt new zealand in the south sea and it does have 3 islands.

 

[In-goal]

So much for the import quota, i surpose Bradford wont be happy until there are no Englishmen in the first team.

I can't believe Bradford acctualy think that there isn't enough talent coming through the system in England, to have to go out and buy Kiwis is becoming a real joke.

 

[pommie_raider]

I'm with in-goal... Nobby needs to look for British players if our game is ever going to improve!
