BRADFORD Bulls have not played a Super League match for a decade, but they are still the seventh-best team in the competition’s history, according to their overall points total.
They were actually sixth in the table until the weekend, but after 679 Super League matches, Castleford have now nipped in front of them.
Bulls managed a remarkable 617 points in 509 games in the Super League era between 1996 and 2014, and comfortably outscore the likes of Huddersfield and Wakefield, despite having played more than 100 games less than both of them in the summer era of the top flight.
Bradford also have the fourth-best points difference in Super League history, behind only St Helens, Wigan and Leeds.
That trio, in that order, unsurprisingly have the best records in that overall Super League table.
Remarkably, despite Super League’s near 30-year history, only Bulls, Saints, the Warriors and the Rhinos have ever won the title.
