Glenn Morrison scored a late try for Bradford to clinch a vital win over unlucky Huddersfield.

The Giants led 14-12 with ten minutes to go after Stuart Jones went over for a try, converted by Chris Thorman.

But the Bulls continued to push forward and Morrison went over from close range with Paul Deacon adding the extras.

However the Bulls were given an injury concern when promising youngster Sam Burgess was stretchered off early in the second half.

606 DEBATE: Give your thoughts on the match


  • Bradford coach Steve McNamara
  • "David Solomona found out late last night that he was playing stand-off - and he's probably never played there in his life before - but he produced two pieces of magic.

    "He's a very, very special player and I can see him improving a lot more as the season goes on.

    "I'm tremendously proud of the effort of my players. We had to grind out a win in an arm wrestle and it stands us in good stead for the rest of the season."

  • Huddersfield coach Jon Sharp
  • "I thought we were excellent, good enough to get something out of the game and I'm really disappointed for my boys.

    "I thought we were good against Saints and we kicked on again against a tremendous side.

    "I'm really encouraged. The boys are positive and proud of their performance, although they're a bit frustrated that they didn't get anything out of the game."
