Cracking display from your lads yesterday as many of my fellow supporters have said. Well done also to those few hundred who made the trip over, i'll bet there are a few thousand more who are gutted they didn't join you.

Best team on the night won - as usually happens!

No complaints from the vast majority of Saints fans on your win, and from a personal point of view it's good to see that one of the teams who have really been one of the prime movers in SL since it started aren't too far from where they should be.

Whilst i agree, i also think it shows how much we have fallen from grace when fans from team likes Leeds and Saints are congratulating you.

I haven't noticed many Leeds fans praising us, but if they are, I'm sure it's because we took the spoils from the Saints.......

Why? It's my experience that there are two kinds of fans: those who can't see past their own clubs and to them it's all a bit of a religion and the rest of us who can appreciate when the opposition has played well and skillfully and deserves a win, even though it's disappointing to lose. I think it's the second type of fan who is on here recognising that Bradford was the better team and deserved the win, and I think it is good to let them know that that is what we think. It's just part of appreciating the sport as a whole rather than just our own club.

I'd like to think that. I'm just more cynical.

Just to add my sentiments to this thread as well.

I thought Saints were as bad as I've seen them in years but not to be taken from the Bulls. With the exception of a 15 minute period, you were the better side all night and deserved the result. The effort and composure you showed was impressive given the circumstances, possibly a turning point in the season.

Well Done.
