Blake scores twice as Bradford beat Catalans

Waqa Blake scored two tries as Bradford Bulls secured a 28-10 victory over Catalans Dragons in their first Super League home match for 12 years.

Andy Ackers and Caleb Aekins also touched down for the Bulls, with Rowan Milnes kicking six goals to secure a comfortable 24-0 lead at halftime. Catalans fought back in the second half through Solomona Faataape and Toby Sexton, but Blake's late try sealed the win.

Head coach Kurt Haggerty praised his team's fitness and defensive effort despite a sloppy performance with the ball in the second period.
