Season Review

August 2010

Bradford Bulls start the build up for the 2011 Super League season by announcing the departure of center Chris Nero who was offered a new contract but turned it down to join Salford City Reds and also Mick Potter's decision to not renew the contract of the aging Steve Menzies who was then offered a 1 year contract at the Catalans Dragons which he accepted. The recruitment started with the announcement of Paul Sykes and Jamie Langley accepting another 3 year deal to stay at the Bulls. Potter also renewed Craig Kopczak's contract and gave a professional contract to up and coming winger Vinny Finigan. The Bulls have also kept talented youngsters Elliott Whitehead by giving him a 3 year deal after a solid 2010 season and a 3 year contract to up and coming hooker Adam O'Brien who will be looking to play his debut for the Bulls this season.

September 2010

The Bulls finally announced a replacement for Nero in the form of Chev Walker from Hull KR. To boost the wings he also brought in Wigan Warriors youngster Shaun Ainscough and New Zealand Warriors young winger Patrick Ah Van. With the Bulls lacking that extra push in the forwards last season, the signings of Bryn Hargreaves from St Helens RLFC and Olivier Elima from Catalans Dragons will provide that. Another problem with the Bulls last season is that the squad didn't really have any experience and the depth so they have signed experienced second rower Ian Sibbit from Salford City Reds, Sibbit will be in his 13th season with 6 of them spent at Salford. Youngster Joe Wardle who made his debut last year for the Bulls has rejected a new contract and will pursue a career at Huddersfield Giants. The Bulls have also let Rikki Sheriffe and Stuart Reardon go after both had a very poor season in 2010. To provide more depth in the 3/4 line the Bulls handed a career lifeline to the recently jailed winger Gareth Raynor whose previous club was Crusaders and an excellent player from the Championship in the form of Shad Royston from Halifax RLFC. Jamie Langley, Nick Scruton, Paul Sykes and Andy Lynch have all been included in the preliminary England RL squad in the build up to the 2010 Four Nations. The Bulls have also given 2 year contracts to youngsters Jason Crookes, Steve Crossley and Danny Addy.

October 2010

Incoming coach Mick Potter finishes his 2010 season with an unfortunate 22-10 loss to Wigan Warriors (the 2010 Super League Grand Final) in his final game for St Helens before joining the Bulls in 2011. On the 4th October Peter Hood announced that the Bulls had succeeded reaching their 10,000 pledge scheme making the Bulls the cheapest team to watch in super league. The Bulls also added to their backroom staff by announcing they had acquired assistant coach Francis Cummins from rivals Leeds Rhinos. An 9th player was acquired in the form of hooker Matt Diskin who signed a 3 year contract with the Bulls from arch rivals Leeds. The first player to leave the Bulls in October was 19 year old second rower Andy Tate who signed for Yorkshire rivals Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. The Magic Weekend fixtures were announced and the Bulls will play against arch rivals Leeds Rhinos on Sunday 13 February 2011 to kick off their season. While in Australia Mick Potter searched for a replacement for Matt Orford who wishes to return to the NRL with either Canberra Raiders or Parramatta Eels. As his replacement Aussie Marc Herbert was signed on a 1 Year Deal from Canberra Raiders.

November 2010

Stuart Reardon was signed by Iestyn Harris to play for the Crusaders in the 2011 season. On the 10th Prop Danny Sculthorpe left the Bulls by mutual consent due to a re-occurring injury. A couple of months after signing a new 1 year deal Michael Worrincy signed for NRL side Penrith Panthers. Castleford Tigers brought out their pre-season friendly fixtures and it is revealed that they will play the Bulls on boxing day (26 December) at The Jungle with a kick off time of 12pm also the Bulls will play Halifax RLFC on the 9th January at Grattan Stadium for Jamie Langley's testimonial and that will kick off at 3pm. Dewsbury Rams also announced they will play Bradford on the 23rd January 2011 at Rams Stadium also at 3pm. The Bulls also confirmed they will be playing Wakefield Trinity Wildcats on the 30th January at Odsal Stadium with a 3pm kick off. The Bradford Bulls 2011 playing kits were revealed on the 17th with the Home strip being white and the Away purple also JCT600 renewed their partnership with the Bulls. The 2011 Super League fixtures were announced on the 22nd at 00:01 am. The Bulls announce yet another pre season friendly against Keighley Cougars at Cougar Park on the 28th January 2011 with a 7:30pm kick off.

December 2010

It was announced that youngster George Burgess would follow in the footsteps of his older brother Sam and join the South Sydney Rabbitohs for 2011. Mick Potter also confirmed that Andy Lynch would retain the captaincy for 2011 and Jamie Langley would retain the vice captaincy, Speaking in the T&A on the 16th December, Potter said "There won’t be too many changes on who the leaders are I don’t think. There’s quite a stable bunch of senior players and, in most likelihood, Andy Lynch will be captain next year". Salford City Reds signed Bulls hooker Wayne Godwin on a 3 year deal as their hooker Tevita Leo-Latu was refused a visa plus the Boxing Day friendly against Castleford was cancelled due to a frozen pitch and will not be played on another date.

January 2011

The Bulls release second rower Glenn Hall from his contract, which he had 2 years left on, so he could return to Australia for the birth of his child. The 20 man squad for the match against Halifax RLFC was revealed with new signings Patrick Ah Van, Gareth Raynor, Shad Royston, Marc Herbert, Bryn Hargreaves, Shaun Ainscough, Ian Sibbit and Chev Walker all making their debuts. The Bulls beat the Championship Grand Final winners 50-8 with tries from Raynor, Heath L'Estrange scored a double, Herbert, Royston, Jason Crookes, John Bateman, Michael Platt and Elliott Whitehead, Herbert kicked a goal and Ah Van kicked 6. The Bulls 2010 superstar signing Matt Orford finally got a 1 year deal with Canberra Raiders after many months of legal disputes which means the Bulls can announce 23 year old Stand Off Kyle Briggs (on a 2 year deal) from Featherstone Rovers as their 11th new recruit. On the 13th the Bulls announced the squad numbers for the 2011 season. They travelled to Lanzarote for 1 week for an intense training camp, during the camp Glenn Hall signed a 2 year contract with NRL team North Queensland Cowboys. It is revealed that Formula One ace Mark Webber spent a day training with the Bulls in their warm weather camp. The 20 man sqaud for the game against Dewsbury Rams was announced with new signings Matt Diskin, Olivier Elima and Kyle Briggs all making their debuts, Nick Scruton returns from injury to play. The Bulls are made to fight for their 46-12 win with tries coming from Diskin, a double from Vinny Finigan, Ah Van, Steve Crossley, Platt and youngsters Reed and McKay, Ah Van kicked 7 out of 8. The squads for the game against Keighley Cougars and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats was announced with youngsters Cain Southernwood, Finigan, Bateman and Crookes featuring against the Cougars, Brett Kearney is set to play his first game in 2011 against the Wildcats. The youthful Bulls side lost 46-12 against the Cougars with tries coming from Bateman, Southernwood and Finigan. Bradford then beat Wakefield in the final pre-season match 40-16 with tries coming from L'Estrange, Kearney, a double from the ever impressive Ah Van, Platt, Paul Sykes and Elima, Ah Van kicked 4 goals whilst Herbert and Briggs kicked 1 each.

February 2011

Rikki Sheriffe signed a 2 year contract with rugby union side Newcastle Falcons, meanwhile Danny Sculthorpe joins Widnes Vikings after a short trial period. Also Steve Ganson was appointed to ref the game against Leeds Rhinos at Millenium Magic. The squad for the Millennium Magic was released with only Marc Herbert missing (hamstring strain) out of all 11 new signings. The Bulls looked liked they had improved a lot but due to a controversial decision the Bulls lost 32-28 to local rivals Leeds Rhinos with Whitehead scoring 3 tries, Matt Diskin scoring against his former club and Ah Van scoring after going 80m after he intercepted a Brent Webb pass, Ah Van kicked 4 goals from 5 attempts. Jamie Langley and Kyle Briggs were injured during the game against Leeds and so were not included in the squad against Wigan Warriors while Marc Herbert is still injured. The Bulls were overpowered 44-10 by the Super League champions with Whitehead and Ah Van scoring for Bradford whilst Ah Van kicked a conversion. Bradford recorded their first win of the 2011 campaign beating the Crusaders 30-26, tries from Andy Lynch, Shad Royston and Shaun Ainscough made sure the Bulls were 18-6 up at half time, second half tries came from the 2 hookers Matt Diskin and Heath L'Estrange, also Patrick Ah Van kicked all 5 goals to make sure the Bulls won. L'Estrange and Chev Walker picked up injuries, Walker is out for about a month and L'Estrange is out for 6 week.

March 2011

The month started pretty well for the Bulls as they comfortably beat the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats 40-18, youngster Tom Olbison scored the Bulls 1st try, Craig Kopczak grabbed his first ever hat-trick, Shad Royston scored 2 tries and winger Shaun Ainscough scored a try. Patrick Ah Van was in good form with the boot as usual kicking 6 out of 7. However this victory was short lived as the Bulls came crashing down to earth with a very poor performance the next week resulting in a 50-16 loss to Huddersfield Giants, the Bulls gave a debut to 17 year old hooker Adam O'Brien who didn't look out of place when he came off the bench. Shaun Ainscough scored his 3rd try in 3 games and Marc Herbert and Gareth Raynor also grabbed their first tries for the club. Ah Van kicked 2 from 3. The Bulls bounced back the following week against the unbeaten Castleford Tigers with Olivier Elima scoring his first try for the club and Nick Scruton getting a double helping the Bulls to a 18-14 win, Ah Van was on target with all his attempts kicking 3 from 3. The 2011 Challenge Cup draw for the 4th round occurred a few hours hours after the Castleford game and the Bulls got an away tie against local Championship side Halifax RLFC on the 8th May 2011 which is to be shown on the BBC. The next game for the Bulls was against St Helens at the Halton Stadium, the Saints won the game 28-16 with a little help from the referee Richard Silverwood, and the Bulls tries came from Ah Van and Ainscough (who got a double) with Ah Van kicking 2 from 3. Also Prop forward Nick Scruton signed a 3 year contract to stay with the Bulls until 2014.

April 2011

Youngster Tom Burgess made his long awaited debut in the 24-22 win over Harlequins RL, although the Bulls played well in parts they never really got out of first gear and just managed to hold onto a win. Olivier Elima opened the Bulls scoring with Matt Diskin, Brett Kearney and Paul Sykes all finding the try line. Patrick Ah Van kicked 3 from 4 and also slotted over a penalty kick to ensure the Bulls came away with 2 points. Bradford's next game was against struggling Hull FC, after playing well in the first half silly errors let Hull back in the game and they beat the Bulls 34-24 with tries from Sykes, Chev Walker scoring his first for the Bulls and Shad Royston who got a double. Ah Van contributed 8 points by kicking all 4 goals. Academy product Tom Olbison signed a new 3 year deal keeping him at the Bulls until 2014, also Michael Platt signed a new 2 year contract keeping him at the club until 2013. The Bulls travelled to The Willows to play the Salford City Reds, they started off well when captain Andy Lynch went over for a try with Marc Herbert converting but poor tackling and appauling ball handling allowed Salford to lead 24-10 at the break. The Bulls came out with a bit of fight and Aussie recruit Herbert went in for a try, Herbert got his second near the end of the game and coverted but after a poor performance the Bulls were on the end of a 56-16 defeat. The Bulls then faced arch-rivals Leeds Rhinos at home, early tries from Ah Van and Lynch put the Bulls 10-0 up but they eventually succumed to the Rhinos fightback and lost 22-30 with Elima scoring 2 and Ah Van kicking 3 from 5. Four days later the Bulls travelled to the south of France to face the Catalan Dragons, youngster John Bateman made his debut starting at Loose Forward however Bradford drew with the Dragons 8-8 with hooker Heath L'Estrange scoring the only try for the Bulls with Ah Van kicking 2 from 3.

May 2011

May did not start well for the Bulls as they were absolutly destoryed by a visiting Warrington Wolves side, the Bulls' errors gifted the Wolves an early lead and Warrington went into halftime 32-0 up. The second half the Bulls again coughed up the ball and a good Wolves side capitilized on the mistakes. The gmae ended up 58-14 to Warrington with the Bulls producing something withtries from Andy Lynch, Craig Kopczak and Elliott Whitehead. Patrick Ah Van kicked 1 goal.
