Kurt Haggerty Left With A Blend Of Pride And Disappointment After Narrow Toulouse Defeat

Kurt Haggerty believes that the Bradford Bulls should have been awarded a penalty try in their narrow 28-18 defeat to Toulouse Olympique.

Although he was frustrated with that refereeing decision, the overall view was a blend of pride and disappointment; he felt Bradford should have won, but crucial late-game moments cost them dearly.

Bradford had 17 first-team players unavailable, which forced the club to depend on its homegrown players and senior players playing out of position.

Haggerty praised the team's response under pressure, highlighting the character and spirit of the squad’s resilience.

Kurt mentioned that it was an emotional moment when Harvey Ward made his Super League debut late in the second half.

The Bulls boss added that the debut reflected the club’s culture and the behind-the-scenes effort to support young players.
