WORKINGTON Town boss Leon Pryce is looking forward to locking horns with his former club Bradford Bulls on Sunday - but there will be no old pals act.

Pryce is out to regain the two points he feels his side lost in the final seconds of the Good Friday game at Whitehaven.

And he is hoping to dismantle the unbeaten Bulls to get them at Derwent Park.

"I think we should have got two points against Whitehaven on Friday so let's pick them back up on Sunday," said Pryce.

"It will be a good game against my old side and I am looking forward to it.

"It will be a tough challenge, as they're an unbeaten side so it would be nice to get one over on them."

Although he has some good memories of his time at Odsal, his focus now is his first coaching role at the helm of Workington Town.

"I won a lot of trophies in my time at Bradford," he added. "At the end of the day I am Bradford born and bred and have supported them since I was eight years old.

"I've seen them back as Bradford Northern when they weren't so good through to Super League so I have seen it all.

"I have seen all the stages and now I am looking forward to having a good battle with them on Sunday."

He admitted it had been sad to see the Bulls drop down to League One but he believes they now have the right personnel to make the leap back up the divisions.

"I think Bradford had been on the decline for a while now so it didn't surprise me when they were relegated," he said.

"I was part of it last year and it is sad to see but I think they have right man in charge now with John Kear and they are unbeaten this season.

"I think that is the main thing, the right coach and the right recruitment and they seem to have done that."

Pryce won five Challenge Cups and four Super League titles with Bulls and St Helens between 1998 and 2011. He returned to play for Bulls last year in one final swansong but now he has retired, he is observing life on the other side of the fence in his first role as a coach in Cumbria.

His Workington side made a poor start to the league season, defensive lapses costing them as they crashed to a 44-34 defeat at Keighley Cougars on the opening day. They have improved since, and currently sit fourth in the table.

Pryce is not the only man in the Workington set-up with a strong connection to the Bulls. The Cumbria side can also count former Bradford player Jamie Foster as one of their players.

Theirs is an experienced side which also contains veteran prop Ryan Bailey. The 33-year-old spent the first 12 years of his professional career at Bulls’ fiercest rivals, Leeds Rhinos.
