Teenager prospect Leon Pryce is the baby of the Bulls squad but he's convinced they have what it takes to repeat their 1997 Super League triumph.

The 17-year-old, regarded as the best Bradford product for years, has established a regular slot in recent weeks and is determined to help extend the Bulls unbeaten sequence to eight matches against struggling Huddersfield Giants at Odsal tomorrow (6.00pm).

"I really feel that we have the squad that can go on and win the championship," says Pryce. "Our defence is very good, anyone who witnessed the Wigan game will testify to that and the team spirit is tremendous."

But Pryce believes there is still plenty of room for attacking improvement as the race for the top five starts to hot-up.

"I don't think that apart from the cup tie against Warrington that we have clicked on attack all season.

"We did show that day what we are capable of and I am sure that we are not far away from that form again. Once we hit top gear some sides are going to have to watch out.

"I am reasonably happy with my own game at the moment. I am pleased that I am not making too many mistakes and I am getting used to playing on the wing.

"I feel I am improving all the time and I know that I will keep on learning."

Coach Matthew Elliott is expected to stick with very much the same formula after injury doubts over last week's man of the match Paul Deacon subsided.

Bernard Dwyer is fit again after missing the last five games following knee surgery but he may have to wait for his chance.

Elliott is expecting a Giants backlash after their home defeat by Wakefield Trinity last week.

"I am sure that Malcolm Reilly will not have been happy with their performance. I have watched the game and they should really have won.

"I know they will be disappointed with their performance and they will be focused on being up for this week."
