Last-gasp Dobson denies Bulls

16 January 2009
Bulls captain Paul Deacon claimed a drop goal of his own with two minutes remaining to edge his side 13-12 ahead but Dobson had the final stay in the dying embers of the game.
Rovers were on course for a hard-earned victory at half-time after establishing a 12-10 interval advantage through two tries from Peter Fox and two goals from Dobson.
Fox showed blistering pace to leave a trail of Bradford defenders in his wake, avoiding Michael Platt's weak attempts at a cover tackle and touching down between the posts for his first.
Bulls responded in the 27th minute when Glenn Morrison's neat short offload sent Semi Tadulala over in the left corner.
Deacon converted the score with a fine touchline conversion but Bradford were stunned four minutes later when Rovers and Fox claimed a second try.
Yet the pendulum swung back in the Bulls' favour shortly before half-time when Terry Newton fed Morrison and he produced another telling pass to usher Chris Nero over in the left corner.
With 10 minutes remaining Deacon slotted home a penalty from under the posts.
Deacon then added a drop goal in the 78th minute before Dobson did likewise with the last play of the game.
