Bradford handed points deduction

Bradford have been deducted six points for entering administration.

It means the Bulls fall out of the Super League play-off places, and now sit level on points with Salford on 17 points.

Bulls interim CEO Gary Tasker said: “We expected a deduction of points by the RFL and we of course accept that penalty.  We are not yet in a position to be able to offer any recompense to our Creditors and as such a six point deduction was what we expected. 

“We are still in the competition and a place in the Top Eight- and with it the ability to make the Play Off’s- is still within our grasp and we will be travelling to Warrington on Sunday in a confident and determined mood.”

Hull KR now take their place in the top eight, with Huddersfield moving up a place to 7th.
