I go back to 1980 when I started going to matches. In my experience our rivalry with Fax is on a par with what we have with Leeds although as a kid in Pudsey the enmity with Leeds was fuelled by my own bunker mentality being as I seemed to be surrounded by Loiners.

As I remember back in the 80s the Leeds fans in the South Stand used to sing "the green green grass of Headingley" and referred to Bradford Northern before than Cas or Trinity. Hunslet never get a mention.

Since we stopped being a threat to Leeds I think a lot of the enmity between the clubs has disappeared. The resolution of the Harris case and departure of Caisley obviously helps. Leeds have done a lot to help us get up off the canvass in comparison with other neighbouring clubs.

As for our big games in the 90s and 00s the game hasn't filled that gap.

Bradford Northern / Bulls will always be the fiercest derby game for Leeds RL / Rhinos IMO purely down to my schooling experiences
I went to Cardinal Hinsley GS in Bradford as a kid and was the only Leeds RL fan in the school, When Northern beat Leeds all of the kids used to wait for me on a Monday morning and let me have it big time, Even my school teachers and Rugby Union coaches at the school used to let me have it too :lol:
But surprisingly when Leeds won none of these masses were anywhere to be seen :wink:

I have numerous friends that are still die hard Bradford fans and the great banter between us still lives on to this day

The Rhinos v Bulls in it's ultimate pomp was box office and both grounds regularly got sold out, I really miss this derby game
