Steve Menzies is confident the Bulls can reproduce their best as soon as they start respecting the ball again.

They resume against Wakefield Trinity Wildcats on Sunday eager to banish nightmare back-to-back defeats versus Celtic and Salford.

The last game they won was against the Wildcats in Edinburgh, when Bradford produced some dazzling football to cut open John Kear’s men.

That has been missing since but second-row Menzies insists it can be recaptured.

“The most disappointing thing for the boys is we know we can play good footie,” said the Aussie star.

“We’ve played against the top teams and competed in all areas but the frustration is we don’t do it each week.

“Against Salford we had chances and plenty of the ball but we finished with a completion rate of just 40 per cent. You can’t do that against any side and expect to win.

“Salford got in front and we then got a bit ruffled trying things which didn’t come off.

“We beat Wakefield last time with some good football though and really need to get back on track now with another couple of victories to get something going again.”

Menzies added: “The ball’s in our court. We’ve got to put these games behind us and look forward to getting another chance.

“Having the weekend off after the way we played has not been the best – it’s been pretty stop-start – but we get our shot on Sunday.

“It’s the third time we’ve faced Wakefield this year and the boys are confident we can go out there and play well again.”
