JIMMY Lowes singled out Adam O'Brien for special praise after the in-form hooker's late try capped a 36-18 win at London.

The Bulls registered their 13th straight Championship victory and O'Brien again played a pivotal role.

The Broncos scored two early tries to go 12-0 up but Bradford gradually assumed control of the match and scored six tries to seal the win.

O'Brien scampered over late on for the final Bulls score and head coach Lowes said: "Adam O'Brien just gets better and better and he's a good player.

"It was a cheeky little try and he deserved that because I thought he played a strong game again. Defensively the opposition are picking him out and he's not hiding."

After their nightmare start, the Bulls made their class pay and Lowes was ultimately left pleased with his team's work.

"It was a very slack start and we were disappointed with some of the stuff we did, even in the second half," he said.

"But I did think we defended well apart from those tries we conceded to Jamie Thackray, who was really good. But they were really soft tries for us to concede.

"The other try (from Tom Gilmore) came after two players ran into each other – but generally, I thought we were okay defensively.

"Adam Sidlow was good but I thought we had some decent performances across the board, in the backs and forwards.

"Sometimes they don't get noticed but Danny Williams and Adam Henry were strong, while Lee Gaskell was very strong defensively alongside Adrian Purtell on that left side."

Danny Addy was replaced during the first half after being knocked out in a collision and he was not allowed back on.

Lowes said: "When our physio got to him, he was out cold for a very short spell, which meant there was no chance of him going back on.

"He's a good player and we missed him but he will be available for this week against Doncaster."

Lowes felt James Mendeika, who impressed off the bench at full back against Halifax the previous week, performed solidly again after replacing Addy in the halves.

"More and more nowadays, the full-back role tends to be similar to playing half-back – especially attacking-wise," said the Bulls coach.

"The toughest thing for James was to defend in the line and I thought he did that pretty well.

"We brought James in to do a job and he's done two decent stints for us."
