Bulls Must Be Better, Boss Says

Bradford Bulls take on high-flying Castleford Tigers this weekend. In what is a must win clash, the Bulls could close the gap on they're West Yorkshire rivals with a victory at Wheldon Road.

Bulls coach Micky Potter was left frustrated after his side failed to overcome a 12-man Catalan Dragons side at home this weekend. The defeat was a massive blow considering the fine performance they put in a week earlier at Headingley against fierce local rivals Leeds Rhinos.

The defeat to the Dragons highlights the inconsistency problems that seem to have plagued Potter's first season in charge at Osdal and injuries to Heath L'Estrange and Jamie Langley will not have helped.

Bulls Centre Michael Platt says that the injuries aren't to blame for the squads inconsistency: "We can't blame it on injuries. We've proven we can beat a top side. Hopefully we can put enough consistency together to see that we finish in a play-off spot.

Asked whether he was satisfied with his own form Platt said: "No I think theres a lot to improve on. Like the team I feel I need to be more consistent."

BCB's Raz Mirza spoke to Micky Potter and Michael Platt about last weekends performance as well as the upcoming clash.
