BULLS looked like they might become only the second side to beat runaway leaders Toronto Wolfpack at Odsal yesterday.

They led 18-4 at half-time but the Championship giants fought back after the break to win 25-20 and seemingly all but end Bradford's play-off hopes.

Here is Simon Parker's guide to the match.

Man of the match

Matty Wildie was instrumental in so much of the Bulls’ good stuff – perhaps he was left off the field for too long in the second half.

Moment of the match

Jy Hitchcox produced an electric 80-metre break to put the Bulls on the scoreboard in sensational fashion.

Moan of the match

The Bulls were in such a strong position at half-time but did not see the ball for the first 10 minutes after the restart.

Tactics

James Green returned from a seven-game absence while Jordan Lilley made his 100th career appearance in the halves.
