Rikki Sheriffe says the Bulls’ “unbelievable” late win in Perpignan has boosted confidence immeasurably.
The in-form winger was on the scoresheet again as Bradford pulled off a last-gasp success against Catalans.
It was their first Super League win of the year and the relief among the players was plain to see as they gleefully celebrated Dave Halley’s crucial touchdown.
“There was so much pressure lifted off our shoulders in an instant,” said Sheriffe.
“We kept going until the death. It paid off and the feeling was just unbelievable. It was an amazing game.”
Slick Bradford threw away the shackles to race into an 18-6 lead, playing with a belief and enterprise not yet seen in this campaign.
“We were on fire for the first 30 minutes and now we need to keep playing at that tempo and that pace,” added Sheriffe, who rounded off a sweeping 70-metre break in the first half with a classy finish.
“It was really enjoyable. It’s nice to score those ones where you believe in your team-mates and think ‘Hey up, he might break here.
“You just keep going and get your just rewards. It was a great team try.”
Sheriffe has now scored in each of the last three games and is proving a worthwhile capture from Harlequins.
He said: “It’s a good feeling. I came here to score and I seem to be doing that.
“I’d just been chuckling with Semi (Tadulala) about how whenever he scores I do too and it happened again.”
