Bradford Bulls Under 20's put in a superb second half performance to defeat Leeds Rhinos 50-28 at the Grattan Stadium.
Centre Joe Wardle scored two tries and kicked seven goals to leave him with a haul of twenty two points as the Bulls took control in the hot conditions.
The Bulls quickly led 12-0 but the Rhinos hit back and it was nip and tuck at 18-16 at the break but the Bulls started the second period like a house on fire to quickly establish a winning position. Prop George Burgess went in from thirty metres after great work from Hooker Adam O'Brien and although the Rhinos hit back they were no match for the Bulls outfit on the day.
