The Bulls gore the Saints and draw blood
What an amazing Friday night as St Helens go down at home to Bradford Bulls and Leeds Rhinos also get done by Harlequins.
St Helens led by 26-10 at the break, thanks to scores by Ade Gardner, Francis Meli (2), Leon Pryce and Gary Wheeler in response to two from Semi Tadulala for Bulls.
The second period and Craig Kopzcak closed the gap only for Sean Long to take one back. But that was as good as it got for Saints as Michael Worrincy went over twice to edge the Bulls in front and they held off some late Saints pressure to win and cause a major upset. Final score:
St Helens 30-34 Bradford
