Strangely looking forward to this one. Maybe it's the Jimmy effect or because I'm still on a high from Wigan, but think we may actually win this one. Jimmy will have them even more fired up than Wigan. He loves nothing more than getting one over Leeds. Hopefully we'll travel in numbers and get one over the old enemy.

Friday could potentially be the last West Yorkshire derby for a few years due to our imminent relegation to the Championship. Even more excuse to get yourselves down to Headingley to support the Bulls. As always, I'd expect that boys to be up for this one.

I don't know if I'm looking forward to it yet

You stand a much better chance of a win now with Watkins, Moon, Hall, Peacock, Ablett & Sinfield all out for Leeds.

The joys of playing a cup team before a semi final.

Re: Bulls v Rhinos : Wed Jul 30, 2014 8:23 pm  

Wow definitely one last chance to put the rhinos in their place before we drop after our win & with those players out. Not looking like the home banker they stated on their website right now is it.

So Halifax, Batley, Keighley , Dewsbury , Fev are all in longer in West Yorkshire?

Have I missed something ?

Are Leeds going to be the only West Yorkshire team in SL next year ?

Yes you have, this is a Bulls thread and most Bulls fans place the Leeds derby match as the one to win. This is what they are referring to. But maybe you already know that.

This is one fixture which has often gone 'against the grain', with an unexpected winner; either way round.
I always feel we're in with a chance at Headingley, even more so than at Odsal [a feeling I can't fathom, to be honest, but there it is] so I'm far from devoid of hope.

Rhinos are a top side let there be no mistake, even with a few rested, but if we go in all guns blazing and with Jimmy as coach I suspect we might, then who knows?
