August
Bradford Played Hull KR, whose record as the side with the worst home record in engage Super League continued at Craven Park as the Bulls eased to a 10 points to 28 victory. Twelve-man Bradford overcame a gritty Wakefield comeback and kept the pressure on engage Super League's top two after controversial referee Steve Ganson marked his return to the Grattan Stadium, Odsal by sending off Bulls prop Joe Vagana. Bradford hung on to beat Wildcats 38-24. McNamara refused to be drawn on his thoughts surrounding Vagana's sending off but did defend the Kiwi prop's record. "Joe's one of the nicest and fairest players in the competition," he said. "His disciplinary record is exemplary. I don't think he's ever been sent off for foul play so hopefully the disciplinary process will take due course and he'll avoid suspension." In last game of August Bradford played Huddersfield Giants, the Bulls’ top spot hopes suffered a setback at The Galpharm in an ill-disciplined and scrappy affair which saw a player from each side sent off. Bradford's Tame Tupou was sent off for punching on 63 minutes while Giants prop Keith Mason saw red soon after for striking Glenn Morrison. Bradford lost 26-22

Famous quotes containing the word august:
“I always disliked dogs, those protectors of cowards who lack the courage to fight an assailant themselves.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
“The hood-winked husband shows his anger, and the word jealous is flung in his face. Jealous husband equals betrayed husband. And there are women who look upon jealousy as synonymous with impotence, so that the betrayed husband can only shut his eyes, powerless in the face of such accusations.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
“Until, on Vinegar Hill, the fatal conclave.
Terraced thousands died, shaking scythes at cannon.
The hillside blushed, soaked in our broken wave.
They buried us without shroud or coffin
And in August the barley grew up out of the grave.”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
