Bradford v Leeds - Rugby League.

Bradford are two points ahead with a few minutes to go - they go over for a try, but the video ref judges that there was a knock-on (very, very slight) and disallows the try.

Leeds go up the pitch, and the ball is lost by Leeds, but the ref (incorrectly) gives Leeds a penalty.

Seconds to go, and if Leeds score, it's a draw.  That would be stealing a point really for Leeds.

Anyway, the kick is taken and it looks good, but hits the bar, comes back and a Leeds player catches the ball and scores a try as the hooter goes to win the game for Leeds.

Bonkers ending to a cracking game!!

I'm a Wigan fan - and we were crap yesterday.  Leeds are my second team, so it was good to see them win - but they were very, very, very lucky.

That is one of the moest amazing ends to a sporting event i have ever seen. I don't think the ref (Steve Ganson) will sleep easy tonight, why the hell he didn't go to the video for that try is remarkable.

Me and my mates had tickets for this. It was 30 quid for the whole weekend / 6 games of league for a fiver each.

Such a gd laugh and the cheerleaders are amazing (dont get to see them on sky).

We came back for to the hometown to watch the last match though and it was one of the best games i have ever watched (rugby league wise). 2 mistakes cost the bulls (who were the better team) but whata game and ending from a fans point of view, electrofying!

If you watched the games on sky no doubt u would have seen me as we were close behind the players, cant wait for boots n all on thursday!

Added a little more controversy to the ending!

crazy end....a good friend of mine was on Bradford plus 4 and Bradford outright at 42-38 he did his dough and the ref's mistake made a £2500 difference to him....now that is so sick.

Quote
Bradford chairman Peter Hood reacted by calling on Leeds to give up the points gained from the victory.

In a statement, Hood said: "The Leeds Rhinos club is justifiably a proud club, with a great tradition, and a club which above all values its reputation for right and fair dealing in everything it does.

"For these reasons I shall be inviting the Leeds Rhinos to do the right thing again now, for the benefit of their own reputation certainly, but also for the good of the great game of rugby league, to voluntarily hand over to Bradford Bulls what is, as the whole game now acknowledges, rightfully ours - the two points so cruelly taken from us by Mr Ganson's failure to act."

- as if!!

The first half the ref gave us fukall, and most probs felt guilty with the last min try.

Mistakes happen all the time, Bradford need to grow up and stop calling people "Cheats".
