Bulls<\/a> turned in a spirited showing at the MKM Stadium before ultimately losing 27-20 against the Black and Whites, with a late Will Pryce drop goal and a Cade Cust try proving to be the difference on the night.<\/p>\nHowever, it came at a price for Bradford with Okunbor and Russell picking up injuries. Okunbor left the field early in the game after colliding with Lewis Martin in the air, while Russell picked up a knee issue in the second half and had to be helped from the action and down the tunnel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey both look pretty serious,\u201d Kurt Haggerty told the press at the MKM Stadium. \u201cI\u2019ll know more tomorrow. The physios are pretty concerned with both of them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not too sure [what their injuries are]. They probably have just told me, but I\u2019ve got that much going on, I don\u2019t know. I think Dan\u2019s something to do with his knee, and I think Jayden is pretty similar, actually. But I couldn\u2019t be too sure right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked about Ackers taking a knock, Haggerty added: \u201cHe did, but I think Andy\u2019s okay. I think it was mostly a dead leg.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bradford scored three tries on the night with ex-Hull man Connor Wynne scoring two and Waqa Blake getting himself over as well on his return to Super League. And, if it wasn\u2019t for some heroic defending from the home side they would have had at least one or two more.<\/p>\n
The result could have swung Bradford\u2019s way had Aidan Sezer been shown a yellow card for his high shot on Joe Mellor, which Haggerty felt would have been justified.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my opinion, it was 10 minutes in the bin,\u201d he added. \u201cIf that was one of my players and they got put in the bin, I would understand why.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the result itself, the Bradford Bulls boss added: \u201cI don\u2019t want to just to be happy because we\u2019ve come here and had a really good go against Hull FC. I want us to be frustrated.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want us to learn that we\u2019ve done enough to win the game, but we\u2019ve got to execute their moments.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo yeah, it\u2019s a very disappointed changing room in there. They believed they could win the game when they come here, and after the game, they still believe they could have won the game. So we\u2019ll take a lot of positives, but I want it to sting a little bit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe line breaks that we made in the second half, when we got back into the cycle, I thought, just not executing off the back of the line breaks and I think that\u2019s what cost us in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
