MATCH SUMMARY Leigh (0) 6 Try: Knott Goal: Jones Bradford (10) 46 Tries: Harris 2, K. Pryce 2, Vainikolo, Parker, L. Pryce, Deacon, Langley Goals: Deacon (5).

The Super League newcomers gave as good as they got early on, but three tries in 13 minutes either side of the break saw Bradford sprint out of reach.

Iestyn Harris and Karl Pryce bagged two each, with other scores by Leon Pryce, Lesley Vainikolo, Rob Parker, Jamie Langley and Paul Deacon.

Ian Knott's try was scant consolation for the struggling Centurions.

Despite the result, Bradford coach Brian Noble was not an entirely happy man.

"We've practiced our defence and have got to look after the ball," he said.

"We would have been punished by a better team than we were playing. We were made to defend and that takes it out of you.

"We spoke at half-time and knew what we had to do to rectify it but we were still a bit sloppy then."

Leigh coach Darren Abram looked at things more positively, despite seeing his team's wait for a first Super League point prolonged.

"I thought the enthusiasm and improvement from our guys was superb.

"It is a pity we were not playing one of the teams that will be down the bottom end of the table with us.

"They punished us at times. Their skill levels, speed of passing and lines of running were hard to watch as an opposing coach but nice to watch as something to aspire to."
