York tried their hardest to slow us down lying on, slowing play the ball, faking injury but class showed in the end. Great win boys. Keep it up.

Who cares about the fans who won't come, the fans who do make the atmosphere and 14th man.  Lets enjoy it while we can.

At half time I thought we had blown it. Other than the first try, we looked great for 30 mins and the two tries in the last 10 mins of the 1st half were really poor tries to concede. Thought the heat would wear us down and York would come out strong.

Gillams try right at the start of the 2nd half was the turning point (thanks to York kicking out on the full!) if we had conceded the first try or even not scored fairly on, it could have been curtains. Great spirit by the lads to turn it round, every one of them stepped up and to go the full half without even looking like conceding was brilliant.

I thought Dion was outstanding. Most of our attacking play was routed through him and he was a constant handful. Way too good for this league! Thought Shacks was brilliant too and he really led from the front, his juggling act for the last try (I think?) was worth the entrance fee

Delighted with the two points, was a really entertaining game of rugby league and hopefully will encourage some of the new faces in the crowd to come back again. The atmosphere in the crowd today was really good too, must be the weather!

I have brought 1 new face to the last 3 games. If every fan could entice just 1 person to the Bulls game it would make such a difference

I expect a big crowd for Bradford they will bring a hell of a lot of fans up and the gloating fans will come and watch this game I reckon it could be a huge huge game for the club

Simply brilliant from the lads yesterday. The gate was once again disappointing and the club will not survive unless the crowds come back.
