Bradford Bulls v Wigan Warriors: Kurt Haggerty relaxed about wooden spoon threat as run-in intensifies

Bradford Bulls head coach Kurt Haggerty insists he is not losing any sleep over the prospect of ending the weekend bottom of Super League.

The Bulls enjoyed an encouraging start to life back at the top level but are in danger of finishing with the wooden spoon after winning only one of their last nine games.

Bradford sit just two points above bottom side Huddersfield Giants with five rounds remaining.

While Huddersfield had the advantage of an established top-flight set-up, the Bulls began the season having to adapt to Super League life on and off the field.

"We've had to transition the whole club from part-time to full-time, which was a big step," said Haggerty.

"For us to finish above Huddersfield or York, Toulouse or anybody else around us will be a really big achievement.

"But I certainly won't be looking at the table. There are still five games to go and if it goes down to the last game of the season, I've no dramas – but I won't be losing any sleep over it right now."

Bradford's season has been characterised by injuries, with Haggerty only able to name a 20-man squad for Saturday's home clash with Wigan Warriors despite the return of Jayden Okunbor, Waqa Blake, Dan Russell and Joe Keyes.

"I've been very proud of what we've achieved in adversity," added Haggerty.

"I got sent a statistic last week that we're the team with the most injuries throughout the year. At this moment in time, we've confirmed we've got 10 out for the season, which is pretty astronomical."
