Kurt Haggerty says Bradford Bulls are using their away-day woes as fuel ahead of Saturday's clash with Catalans Dragons in Perpignan.

The Bulls made the trip as the only Super League side still waiting for a win on the road.

The play-offs may be out of reach but the match in the south of France carries significance for Haggerty in Bradford's bid to take their Odsal form on their travels.

"That's been the whole theme of the week for us," said the Bulls boss, who is hopeful of bringing Jayden Nikorima back from injury.

"We have performed away from home but just haven't come away with the result. This is the one where we need to get the result.

"I don't feel any pressure (as the only Super League team yet to win away) but I feel the frustration. We're desperate to win away from home.

"It would make everybody a lot happier if we could get that monkey off our back and maybe kickstart our season again."

However, they have positive memories of their last meeting with Catalans – a 28-10 win at Odsal in February.

"A bit has happened between the two games," added Haggerty. "But we know what they can offer and that they're a big, physical team that play a little bit off the cuff.

"We certainly see opportunities where we can hurt Catalans. If we respect the ball better than we did last week, there's a good opportunity that we can go over to France and win."
