Bradford coach Brian Noble saluted his all-conquering Bulls after their Grand Final triumph.

Wigan started strongly and led 6-4 at half-time but the Bulls refused to panic and gradually wore the Warriors down to complete a Grand Final and Challenge Cup double.

Afterwards a jubilant Noble said: "I'm just delighted for the players."

"They are a champion team and they've deserved to win the cup and now this."

The win completed an unprecedented season of success for the Bulls who have also lifted the Man of Steel title, a Players' Player title, a Rugby League Writers' Association title and a Coach of the Year title.

Such a season was beyond even the wildest dreams of Noble.

"I didn't envisage this. Winning the Challenge Cup, the Super League championship and the league leaders' shield? I didn't envisage it at all," said Noble.

"But the players have worked hard all year. The squad have been immense. We've had probably the second-worst injury list to cope with as well. Everybody has had their adversity to cope with, but I think we just coped a bit better than others. We didn't seem to weaken ourselves."
