I have been away for two weeks but I'm back to bring you the best of the action from the Super League. I start with Bradford v Leeds. So lets get down to it

Played in Leeds this was a huge clash of the two top teams in the Super League. If the Bulls win they go top and two
points clear.

First half

Both teams got off to a flying start but it was Bulls that made the first moves for a try with a wonderful kick from Decon - but it was a bit too long for Vaikona. Leeds had the same chance again but this was missed by Colderwood and then Sinfield missed a penalty kick. Bulls were first off the mark with a fantastic 80 meters run by Vinacolo and a conversion by Decon. The game was back and forward. But Leeds hit back with a try from Connoly and a conversion by Sinfield. Then Senior scored shortly after that, the conversion missed by Sinfield.

Half Time Score:

Bulls 6 Leeds 10

Second Half

The teams came out in the second half pretty much starting how they finished the first half. Chances a plenty but just not able to make them pay.It wasn't long before Parker went over the line from a fantastic pass from Lows. With only 2 point between the teams my mind flashed back to the final. Will this be a repeat of the game with the revenge for Leeds. And sure enough they weren't going to give it up that easily and they went over to make Bulls 12 Leeds 16. Both teams were now looking for the try or trys to seal the game. But neither team were giving an inch. Bulls went over again to make it Bulls 18 Leeds 16 but, with only a two-point advantage, Leeds weren't thinking it was over and done with. Colderwood was unlucky after a kick through - he went over the line but it was not given because he was in touch.

Leeds pushed and pushed looking for the winning try in the final minutes of the game but Bulls put their bodies on the line to keep them out. The 23,000+ fans¹ were treated to a fantastic game of rugby.

Final score
Bulls 18 Leeds 16
