The Bulls opened spectacularly but couldn’t last the pace against table-toppers St Helens today.
Steve McNamara’s side played some quality football to build up a 14-4 lead with tries from Glenn Morrison and Rikki Sheriffe.
But the introduction off the bench of Saints’ power men Maurie Fa’asavalu, and Tony Puletua, with James Roby’s added pace, saw the game transform and the visitors swept into a 28-14 interval lead.
The second period was a scrappy affair from both sides and, although Semi Tadulala’s 62nd minute try threatened a Bulls comeback at 28-18, mistakes crept in as they chased the game.
The visitors capitalised further and this victory saw them make it 16 straight Super League away wins, breaking the Bulls’ own record set in 1997.
