Kurt Haggerty Upbeat Despite Derby Defeat and Injury Concerns

Kurt Haggerty says that his Bradford Bulls side must learn quickly that giving away too many cheap turnovers through individual mistakes and small lapses in concentration will be punished with points on the scoreboard against them. 

Despite the 42-12 result, he still believes the team’s identity remains built on bravery, resilience, effort, and accountability. 

Kurt confirmed that he now has only 15 fit players available after losing Jayden Nikorima (shoulder), Jack Ormandroyd (ankle) and Phoenix Steinwede (hamstring) to injury against the Leeds Rhinos. 

Haggerty conceding he may have no real choice but to bring in loan players (if the injury verdict this week is as bad as it sounds), leaving the Bulls without the capability to field a 17 against Hull Kingston Rovers, who they face on Friday night.
