Great game, crap result, but as soon as Danny McGuire naively threw out that dodgy pass with 2 minutes to go you knew exactly what was going to happen.


And it did with Brett Ferres falling over the line for the Bulls with the very last play of the game, absolutely sickening.
Bradford had the better of the game early on despite a strong wind against them and went in front after 15 minutes when Stanley Gene crossed, the conversion made it 0-6 Bulls.

It was end to end stuff but when Rob Burrow forced a goal line drop out the Bulls could keep us out no longer and Ellis went in after a brilliant pass from JJB.


HT: 6-6


Minutes into the second half and Rob Burrow made and scored a try out wide after running cross field and also added the 2 points, we lead 12-6 and were looking good to extend that lead, but that all changed when Lynch stole the ball one on one from Ryan Bailey.
Ironically, after what happened to Bailey the other week, 2 minutes later and the Welsh money grabber went over, 12-12.


Shortly after that, on 57, Paul Deacon kicked cross field and another ex-Rhino, Marcus Bai had little to do to score as Danny Williams was well out of position. 12-16 as the kick was missed.


At this point I thought we may lose it as the Bulls were getting on top, but Williams made amends for his bad positioning soon after, when McGuire sent up a bomb he did well to tap the ball back the Mathers who strode over, 16-16.


With just 6 minutes to go we were awarded a penalty 30 yards out in front of goal and unusually accepted the kick at goal, 18-16 Rhinos, with 5 minutes to go.

At that point I could only see us scoring again until with 2 minutes to go after just 3 tackles McGuire inexplicably sent out that pass.
FT: 18-20



If I do have one criticism of our team it is that we do not know when to kill a game off. That said, I'm sure it would not have happened had Sinny been on the field.
