Bradford Bulls ran in three second-half tries in eight minutes to help see off Warrington and claim their second Super League win of the season.

The Bulls trailed 14-12 at the break with Ben Westwood scoring two tries for the Wolves.

But Lesley Vainikolo, James Evans and Michael Platt, with his second try of the game, all struck quickly to put the Bulls in control.

Platt then completed his hat-trick late on to seal the victory.


  • Warrington coach Paul Cullen
  • "The sense of disappointment is huge but we cannot allow this performance to derail the momentum from last week.

    "We did not control the ball well enough and paid the ultimate price. If you turn the ball over cheaply, you will get punished.

    "We allowed Bradford to get back into the game when we looked like taking control and I am very disappointed the way we went about our business."

  • Bradford coach Steve McNamara (on Michael Platt)
  • "Michael has a long way to go yet. He won't get carried away but is improving all the time.

    "He's a really enthusiastic kid who wants to listen but to score a hat-trick at Warrington is a considerable achievement.

    "It is never easy coming to Warrington and it was nail-biting at times. We made some fundamental errors in the first half and tried to change our focus."
