Bradford produced a first-half masterclass to emphatically end their losing streak against Warrington.

Steve McNamara's men punished a shambolic early Wolves display by running in six tries before the break, including three in eight minutes.

Chris Bridge replied with a try either side of half-time for Warrington but even when Toa Kohe-Love went over for the Wolves, the Bulls were comfortable.

Two late tries by Terry Newton put the seal on a convincing Bradford victory.


  • Bradford coach Steve McNamara:
    "I was really pleased because we've not played very well against Warrington on the past four occasions.

    "A lot of that has been down to them and what they've done to us so we knew we had to start strongly tonight and at least hold on to the ball.

    "We did that and had a very high completion rate which was reflected on the scoreboard. Offensively, we are starting to look a little more fluent as a side and came up with some nice plays.

    "We've been a little stop-start offensively but obviously, fifty points scored, is very good and the manner in which those tries were scored was also very good."

  • Warrington boss Paul Cullen:
    "We've paid the price for a very poor start to the game. I thought our second-half effort was very special but the ball that we squandered early on has cost us very dearly.

    "The way to beat Bradford - and we've had a very proud record against the Bulls lately - is to keep the ball and turn them around.

    "We did that in the second half but the gulf was too great on the back of the ball that we squandered."
