BRADFORD Bulls continued their superb run in the Championship with victory over Barrow Raiders.
Here are rugby league correspondent Bill Marshall's player ratings for today's clash
MAN OF THE MATCH
Difficult to choose one in a poor-standard match but Matty Storton gets the nod for his youthful exuberance, his tackling and running
TACTICS
Brandon Pickersgill returned at full back and Mikey Wood at loose forward after recovering from sickness, with Evan Hodgson and Colton Roche, on his ‘second’ Bulls debut were on the bench as Ross Oakes, David Foggin-Johnston, Callum Bustin and James Green dropped out
MOAN OF THE MATCH
Referee Nick Bennett’s failure to control the ruck area and the poor general standard of play
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
The way that the Bulls created the space for Jake Webster to score the clinching try late on
