Bulls rock Rhinos


The first team might not have had any joy after their pulsating encounter at Headingley but the Bulls Reserves and Academy completed a weekend double over Leeds Rhinos.

A try and four goals from stand-off Kieran Hyde helped the Bulls Reserves to a 24-20 victory at Headingley.

The Bulls included Michael Platt and Wayne Godwin, who was playing his first game for 15 weeks after suffering a broken leg at Wigan in March.

After an opening stalemate, the Bulls took the lead through Hyde but Leeds levelled minutes later, only for Vinny Finigan to snatch the lead back for the visitors after great work from Platt.

A Hyde penalty increased the Bulls lead and Godwin’s try gave the Bulls an 18-6 advantage at the break.

Steve Crossley forced his way over, showing great determination and strength, and with Hyde’s goal they led 24-6 after 55 minutes.

The Rhinos started an unlikely fightback when Kallum Watkins crossed and they put the Bulls under considerable pressure with two more tries and a conversion but the visitors held out for a memorable victory.

Bulls: Michael Platt; Vinny Finnigan, Duane Straugheir, Karl Wroe, Jessjo Sheriffe; Kieran Hyde, Jon Horton; Steve Crossley, Wayne Godwin, Jode Sheriffe, Eddie Kilroy, Chris Clarke, Jack Ely. Subs. Colton Wray, Chris Holroyde, Jamie Shepherd, Rick Barr.

Two tries in five minutes from loose forward James Donaldson helped an edgy Bulls Academy to complete their double over the Rhinos with a 44-30 win at Grattan Stadium.

Neither side could hold onto the ball in the first 25 minutes before Leeds, against the run of play, bagged a converted try.

The Bulls hit back immediately when, after running the ball on the sixth tackle, Tom Olbison broke through some powder-puff tackling but crossed too far out for the conversion.

However, the Bulls lost the ball early in the next set and Leeds capitalised with another converted try.

Two tries in six minutes though gave the Bulls a half-time lead. Firstly Rob Hawthorne went in for a try, converted by Joe Wardle, and then Liam Mackay crossed.

Hooker Rob Senior became involved in a fight on the half-time whistle which resulted in him and Leeds full back Jimmy Watson being sent to the sin bin.

In the second half, the Bulls were in a more determined mood and scored a try through Wardle, and the first of Donaldson’s two tries meant they extended their advantage to 26-12.

Donaldson’s turn of speed and magic feet opening the way for the try, and he repeated the trick a few minutes later after the Rhinos had scored a try from a dropped ball and a penalty.

At 32-18, it looked all over for the Rhinos but they fought back and scored back-to-back tries to make the score 32-30 to the Bulls.

With the Rhinos in inspired mood, a great tackle from Wardle prevented Jamel Chisholm getting the ball down in the corner, and Leeds were made to pay dearly for their failure.

The Bulls played out the next set and kicked, and as Leeds looked for a way through, scrum half Liam Kay intercepted and strolled over, with Donaldson adding the extras.

Right on the stroke of full-time, Kyle Williamson picked up a dropped pass and raced a way for a 40-metre try to give the Bulls a deserved if somewhat edgy victory.

Bulls: Ben Hellewell; Kyle Williamson, Liam McKay, Rob Hawthorne, Matt Harding; Joe Wardle, Liam Kay; George Burgess, Adam O’Brien, Tom Lillycrop, Danny Addy, Tom Olbison, James Donaldson. Subs. Gareth Hynes, Jake Senior, Lewis Reed, Tom Burgess.

Michael Platt was as rubbish in the reserves as he is in first grade.

Carnt see it happening, Nurgess signed a long contract recently with the Bulls so Manly wud have to folk out on quite a bit transfer fee to get him to leave.

I know Sam is a great prospect but the way he's been playing since his shoulder op, would it be wrong to let him go for big money?

Personally I think it would be worth considering.

With the team requiring major strengthening this just might be the answer, though I appreciate you would always prefer to hang on to young talent.

My biggest concern would be where Macca might want to spend the money. I don't have the confidence anymore that Macca is the right guy to be shaping the future of this team.

One interesting observation guys.

Much has been said on here that Bulls should employ Ian Millward as coach and also Wakefields Jamie Rooney was at one time said to be a target for Macca.

Now we read that Millward is to coach Leigh next season no matter which div., they are in and that Jamie Rooney has been farmed out on Loan to Barrow.

Maybe both of these would have been yet further disaster had they come to Bulls??.

why let a young england player who is probably the best prospect to come out of the bulls for many a year leave???? even if for big money, just does not make sense.
Think we have to put this in to prospective here, ok sam mite not be having the greatest of seasons but he can turn it on wen he wants, think u need to look at bigger picture, he is still a young kid, are we expecting too much from such a young kid?? especially in a team that is struggling, he looked fine playing for engaland against france with a team full of quality players. We need to bring in beta quality players to take away some of the pressure that is put on sam with us all expecting big things from him all the time. Wud also say his best years are in front of him wi him still being young.
Dont see any sense in selling, he is the sort of quality player who we wud expect macca to be signing??? and bringing to the bulls so why let him go??? dont see the likes of castleford leting their young prospects leaving just cos they are not playing well?? westerman and shenton re-signed and team will be built around them.
Only Bulls supporters cud want to possibly think about selling a gud young england international player??? wot a joke.

Why shoulden't sam go? whats there to stay at the bulls for when he has got the oppertunity to play in the NRL? i hope he does well for himself, put it this way bradford anit the best of club at the min, he's always said he would love to play in the NRL and he has the chance naw so why not go for it, i no he is a brilliant player but he has the chance so he should take it.

It could be you of course who's not seeing the bigger picture.

Smaller clubs (which Bulls unfortunately are at present) often lose their stars to bigger fish. The smart ones make sure they get a good deal in the process.

Burgess has a contract but are they worth the paper ? If he were to decide he wants away that's difficult for Bulls.

I reckon theres a good similarity at Salford at the moment. They say they don't want Myler to leave but know they are powerless if someone comes in with the money.

It could well be good business for Bulls but only if the offer is big. I hope it doesn't happen but can understand the logic if it does.
I do remember Ellery walking out on his contract with Northern to join Wigan. Contract?? he just said he would never play for Northern again and that was it.Contract terminated.

Glad we missed out on both Millward and Rooney.

Millward is still living on the glory of his Saints days and has actually done nothing since then in either England or Down Under. Indeed his last role as a first team coach at North Queensland last year saw him win just 2 of 14 games.

Rooney would always just have been another Deacon but not as good - not far behind in age, no pace and a worse goal kicker, not sure why we ever allowed ourselves to be linked with him.

We need to get away from this middle of the road recruitment policy. If we are going to bring in players of that ilk better we promote academy and reserve lads.

Sam would get eaten up in the NRL at the moment. He has gone backwards this year as far as i'm concerned. However, that said and as others have posted, he is still only a young lad and i think we burden him with too much expectation at time. I also think that maybe recently, he has beleived some of his own hype and he was brought back down to earth at Leeds. Concentrate on the rugby Sam, get back to doing what made you great last season.

For us as fans, let's stick behind the kid and help him develop - selling him is not the answer, we need to eventually have this guy as the cornerstone of another successful Bulls era.

Haitch, you must have changed your mind about Macca about 6 times in two months, 1 minute he's the man to take us forward, next you dont have any confidence.

Stop being so liable to change otherwise known as fickle and either get behind him or get him out.

You having problems with your reading doesn't help SMFTS.

I did change my view once and once only. I called for Maccas head and then said I would give him one more chance. H'es had that chance and my views since has been well documented.

You looking to rubbish everyone and feebly attempting to make yourself look superior is the only problem. Grow up and try to join the rest of us in reasonable debate. Or to put it in your terms just stop being a dick head. How do I know that's asking too much?

The Burgess/Newton information was gleaned from the BBC Sport 606 blog-site. Apparently, appeared in the Daily Star. No smoke without some fire. If the Bulls can get the same amount for Burgess as they did for Fielden then I'd call that good business. And maybe the Bulls are holding back on Rinaldi until they definitely know where Newton will be playing next season. All speculation but no one seems to want to discuss Sunday's match with Catleford!

If Burgess were to leave it wouldn't be surprising. Like many an "old head" has said on here and on the terraces, the club is now unfortunately back to Northern days. Good talent will leave, the club wil not win anything BUT the books will balance so the B.O.D will be happy. Sad that success was relatively short lived through bad management.

I can read perfectly well thanks Haitchster.

1. So at first you supported him

2. Then you called for his head.

3.Then you said one more chance.

4. Now you don't think he's the one

Well by George Haitch, that's four right there, changed your mind once. Hahaha.

I'm not trying to rubbish anybody, I'm just showing how foolish half of you are on this forum for putting up with this coach for 3 long miserable seasons after I told you all quite clearly that he wasn't good enough, and it was you lot who rubbished me.

But you've got to admit Haitchster, it is me who has been proven correct in the long run as we now find ourselves on our **** in the depths of super league, struggling to beat Castleford and Salford and Celtic, who thought it would ever come to this?

Well I certainley did, I could see it coming a mile off and whilst you lot were busy singing the praises of this nobody and the nobodies he's recruited I was shaking my head in desbelief at you all accepting him as some sort of messiah and saviour of the club.

He's ruined us, and all you who supported him and still do are partly to blame for accepting crap.

Brian and Micksey haven't even got the guts to show up here anymore after hounding me with criticism, saying I didn't know what I was talking about, and Bulls would be challenging, the signings were ace, Macca was the king, well where are they now?

I can't belive how much you changed Haitch, one day you were sound as a dollar, the next you were a complete morbid, you should have listened to me.

Oh how much I am laughing at you pathetic lot.


I can't wait for the day that Steve McNamara is nothing but a distant memory in Bulls fans minds.

It wont be long now, Peter Hood can't put up with five years of this sh!t and that's what it will be if it rolls into the end of next season.


I told you, Macca is the next Paul Cullen, talks a good game but all he can produce is sh!t.

Of course you don't and I don't tell people you have trouble reading, Have obviously had little education as you have trouble spelling and also you find it difficult putting a sentence together.
Oh and I wouldn't dream of telling anyone your awfully bad language is a way of trying to disguise these things. No I'm much too nice a guy to do that. I just post my comments on here and air, what is my view and what do I get? a load of illiterate abuse. So you see it's happen as well I don't say these things?

I'm well educated Haitch, get yourself to a game and I'll show you my university card and a few of my assignment reports, you'll see just how well I am educated.

As for the spelling, so what, difficulty spelling is not uncommon, and most people are not masters of the English language. My spelling, language and grammar has served me perfectly well enough to get me where I am now in my education. It's not that big of a deal these days, you see.

It is me that 'just post's my comments on here' and suffers abuse, simply because I say things that people don't like to hear, with the biggest culprit of that abuse being Micksey and more recently that Oddball character and you know that is the truth Haitch, you can't deny that, can you?

So what am I supposed to do when they send abuse my way, change my thoughts to how they want me to think, pretend to think what they want me to think or stick to my guns and think and say what I always have done, and give back just as much as I recieve, what would you do?

At the end of the day Haitch mate, people don't like me because I talk the truth and the truth stings when things are not going well. That's all there is to it.

I'm perfectly happy to offer you a hand Haitch, because I think you're a sound poster and user of this site, I always have done, but I'm not about to go saying things or change the way I post because others don't like it.

It's your call Haitch, I'm a sound guy and you can't deny that I know an awful lot about Rugby League as proven by my highly accurate predictions of the Bulls fortunes since you have been on this forum.

Fair enough SMFTS you have told us all what the problems are at Odsal and what is wrong, however, you have said didly squat about what the Bulls could do about it other than sack Mac and a number of others and bring greedy Noble back! What about using some of your vast and experienced knowledge (tongue in cheek) to tell all of us minions what should be done, who should be brought in as in coach, players, where we get the money and backing etc etc - prove why we should listen to you!

SMFTS, thanks for a really constructive reply to which it is possible to give a fair and reasonable answer.

I accept your hand and offer mine in return.

We all have differences of opinion and the clever bit is to recognise that and discuss our differences at a mature level.

Bad language and disrespect for your fellow man have no part in my life. I do accept people differ in this respect too and as long as this kind of behaviour exists I will try to ignore it.

Times are so bad at the Bulls just now and we can all use this as an opportunity to have a real dig at Macca and crew but lets keep it respectful and who knows we might all get a good laugh out of it as well. Things will turn around eventually and its important we are all still supporting the club when they do.

As I said Nobby is the only one oh and Carvell when he was ready to move other than that nowt! Tell us which coach we should get, which players and where money coming from please just to remind of the many times..... Other than just sacking people how would YOU make this club great again?
I've suggested far more coaches that Nobby, but he would be my preference.

Many have been available, Tony Smith to name one, and Gumshoe, we don't have financial worry Gummy, so the money would come from our account, obviously.

You know full well that I have suggested far more than Nobby and Carvell.

H'es had that chance and my views since has been well documented. You looking to rubbish everyone and feebly attempting to make yourself look superior is the only problem. Grow up and try to join the rest of us in reasonable debate. Or to put it in your terms just stop being a dick head. How do I know that's asking too much?
I can read perfectly well thanks Haitchster. 1. So at first you supported him 2. Then you called for his head. 3.Then you said one more chance. 4. Now you don't think he's the one Well by George Haitch, that's four right there, changed your mind once. Hahaha. I'm not trying to rubbish anybody, I'm just showing how foolish half of you are on this forum for putting up with this coach for 3 long miserable seasons after I told you all quite clearly that he wasn't good enough, and it was you lot who rubbished me. But you've got to admit Haitchster, it is me who has been proven correct in the long run as we now find ourselves on our **** in the depths of super league, struggling to beat Castleford and Salford and Celtic, who thought it would ever come to this? Well I certainley did, I could see it coming a mile off and whilst you lot were busy singing the praises of this nobody and the nobodies he's recruited I was shaking my head in desbelief at you all accepting him as some sort of messiah and saviour of the club. He's ruined us, and all you who supported him and still do are partly to blame for accepting crap. Brian and Micksey haven't even got the guts to show up here anymore after hounding me with criticism, saying I didn't know what I was talking about, and Bulls would be challenging, the signings were ace, Macca was the king, well where are they now? I can't belive how much you changed Haitch, one day you were sound as a dollar, the next you were a complete morbid, you should have listened to me. Oh how much I am laughing at you pathetic lot. I can't wait for the day that Steve McNamara is nothing but a distant memory in Bulls fans minds. It wont be long now, Peter Hood can't put up with five years of this sh!t and that's what it will be if it rolls into the end of next season. I told you, Macca is the next Paul Cullen, talks a good game but all he can produce is sh!t.
Fair enough SMFTS you have told us all what the problems are at Odsal and what is wrong, however, you have said didly squat about what the Bulls could do about it other than sack Mac and a number of others and bring greedy Noble back! What about using some of your vast and experienced knowledge (tongue in cheek) to tell all of us minions what should be done, who should be brought in as in coach, players, where we get the money and backing etc etc - prove why we should listen to you!

I am afraid to say SMFTS there is no way on this earth that you have an education through uni. You cannot put a grammatically correct sentence together. As for your knowledge of R.L I am afraid to say it is severely lacking.
There would be no coach in world rugby that would have got us out of the mess that Noble and Caisley have got us into.
Finally you don't even know the difference between a place kick and a kick in open play.
EEEEEEEEEEdIIIIIIOT
