Bradford (a)

For anybody not able to make the inconvenient journey to Bradford tonight or can't make it to the marqee for the live stream there is the option of Bradford Bulls TV. Need to register through Bulls website and pay £10 to get the match live.

Won 8-18. Didn't watch the game but that is an absolutely ridiculous result. 

Beat Oldham and Bradford who probably have squads treble our budget and have conceded on average 12.5 points across our first 4 games. 

If you want to treat your mother on mother's day take her down to Craven Park for the York game.

Fantastic win ... teamwork

[Ulverstonian]

Absolutely fabulous performance again. Another big ego team well and truly dumped by teamwork and togetherness. 

[Ainley Top]

Well done lads! As i said after the Fax game, Barrow looked a good team.

[RogerT]

Brilliant result for Barrow and the rest of the league.

[mickmike wilson]

Sounded like another fantastic defensive performance laid the platform for this brilliant away win

[2Cents]

Bulls FB in meltdown - 1/16 to win the game - "Noble must go" - "How could we lose to a team like Barrow at home", etc. They need to face it, the better team won tonight (we usually do win at Bradford) with another great defensive, all-round effort, which shows the performance v Oldham was no fluke. The Bulls are in the bin and Raiders are the real deal.

A total lack of respect from some Bulls fans, some even blaming the ref who awarded 2 dodgy tries, your team clearly underestimated us, we tackled our hearts out just like we did against Oldham, and thoroughly deserved the win.

[HP Beans]

Outstanding lads!

Par for the course for them, we had the same when we turned them over a few years back at Town, they've an overinflated opinion of their own self importance.

Great win by your boys, and a great star to the season. Hope you can keep the run going deep into the schedule.

Well done to your lads it was a good win. Not unexpected though, cos bradford at best are an average championship side. Overated players on silly wages, but  that's them all over. Made my wk end. ( Batley fan )

The one thing that stands out to me this year that's different from the past is the speed at which our defensive line closes down our opponents attacks and how we swarm the ball-carrier in numbers.

We don't give the opposition anytime to develop a play as we're on them so fast. Good on you Cresta!

I would add that Ryan Johnson's kicking game is a thing of beauty.

I'm surprised that some Bradford fans are shocked at being beaten by us. They haven't exactly got a great record against us over the last few seasons.

Because they are the mighty Bulls with the Messiah as coach and we are Barrow !!!!

[Mattazo]

I think we're setting the marker for the rest of the season with these last two performances. Yes, the opposition have underestimated us but we've shown the level of smart rugby we can play. Always had moments of brilliance and how we can dig in. Injuries will play a part as always but we seem to be managing games far better.

I don't know how Noble gets away with it. His involvement in clubs after his first Bradford stint has been the kiss of death. 

[Dave W]

In the last 7 games we've played against the Bulls, we've won five - including a home and away double in 2022 and 2023. 

Bulls have only beat us once in the league in the last three years. 

The only thing that's shocking is people's delusion and memory loss.

Is Bully injured?

[Stephen Andrews]

Bullman couldn't get off work mate.

Sensational stuff from the boys which is so joyous to see.

I have spoken to 2 Bradford fans I know well today and both said we were the better team by miles and made no excuses whatsoever. They said we were fitter, faster and wanted it more. They also said Johnno was the best player on the park by far. Just wanted to show not all Bulls fans have strange views and can't take a defeat by a better team on the night.

[binosh]

How did the 2 young Leigh forwards get on for you guys

Cresta said in the pre-match comments that Bulman had a "possible shoulder break". That's quite a different story to "couldn't get off work".  He was included in the squad of 21 on Thursday, which is surprising for either reason.

[Bearman]

Anybody know what happened to the " Crarey Out" brigade ?

[colin galbraith]

Go Barrow!!!!

[Stephen Andrews]

Only going off what I was told mate.
