Jamie Langley's double powers Bradford Bulls to victory

By Ross Heppenstall, Bradford Bulls Reporter
Bulls players applaud the Odsal fans after their victory over Hull KR
Bulls 32, Hull KR 26
Jamie Langley scored a superb double as the Bulls gave their play-off hopes a massive boost with a priceless victory over rivals Hull KR.
The club’s longest-serving player touched down in either half and wingers Shaun Ainscough and Jason Crookes also went over for Mick Potter’s side.
Rovers led 14-12 at the break after tries from Scott Taylor and David Hodgson but Crookes’ score and Langley’s second put the Bulls in control.
The Robins hit back through Liam Salter but Elliott Whitehead went over Luke Gale booted a late penalty for his fifth goal to confirm the Bulls
as worthy victors before Craig Hall's late consolation.

A victory but too many stray passes to make it a good performance from the boys. The ref had a nightmare. I suggest he watches it on Sky does a full assessment of his performance. He can then discuss at his next appraisal.

A lot of the dulls on here claim you average crowds of around 14k, it seems you use the same calculator as your BoD.

It would be rewarding a team for spending upto cap when they couldn't afford it meaning that those who live within their means miss out.

The cap is the maximum, it seems those running the Bulls presumed this was the minimum.

n with Bradford Bulls? In another post yesterday you implied that you were posting under another name, Wally Lewis. If that was correct it would appear that you've managed to acquire an education in double quick time but as we all know you cannot educate pork in any length of time.
Re; crowds, I see our attendance was 3.1k down on that at LS6, our match was Televised and considering our position and our dismal decline over the past 5 years I think it compares well to that of the 2nd best supported SL team, reigning Chumpions (oops! typo) and cup finalists.
I suggest your time would be better spent re cataloging your Shirley Bassey record collection and watching The Wizard of Oz with your partner Brian, there's a good chappy.

There aren`t any at the moment but one or two are teetering.
The salary cap was introduced to create a level playing field but it appears certain clubs can still buy success ie. Warrington to name one.
The point of being a sports club is to achieve success and most overstretch in an attempt to do that, my club went too far but unfortunately in narrow minded eyes like yours it`s lets punish the players and coaching staff for the misdeeds of others. The people who caused it are now gone, 6 points deducted as the RL stipulated is not enough for the likes of you who just revel in the dismay genuine fans feel for the club.

All true supporters of our wonderful game, are in admiration of our courage and fortitude in extremely difficult times.
This attitude is what made us as a nation what we are!
You are a shamefull specimen to say such a thing to men, women and children who will continue to fight against the odds, to save something they passionately believe in.
They cannot be castigated for the mistakes of others, and everyone at our club deserve all the support and encouragement we can get.
We do not need your, and others, silly
childish and predictable outbursts.
Funny and witty you aint.
Now go away and leave the courageous people to continue with what is the right and only course of action in our circumstances.
We don't give in, without a fight, do we folks ????
