The champions raced into an early 16-2 lead at Headingley Carnegie with two tries from Ryan Hall and another from Jamie Jones-Buchanan.
Bradford remarkably hit back to claim the lead as Semi Tadulala, Paul Deacon and Steve Menzies scored but the Rhinos found another gear in the closing minutes. Burrow put the hosts back ahead with a fine individual effort and Scott Donald made sure in injury time after a Lee Smith drop goal.
St Helens produced a first-half masterclass with four tries to move a step closer towards finishing top of the engage Super League for the fifth successive year with a 30-0 mauling of Celtic Crusaders.
Bottom club Crusaders, who were missing several first-choice players through injury but lacked nothing in spirit, began brightly but had no answer to their hosts' superior class.
Leon Pryce was pivotal in the opening two scores, created for Lee Gilmour and Paul Wellens, before hulking prop Tony Puletua stepped off the bench to add a third shortly before the half-hour mark.
Matt Gidley crossed in the right corner shortly before the interval hooter and Sean Long converted all four scores to put his side 24-0 up and out of sight.
Rookie centre Chris Dean claimed a fifth try with six minutes remaining, which Long again converted, but Celtic emerged with much credit after reducing Saints to a largely frustrating second half.
Huddersfield improved their impressive record on the road as their 34-10 engage Super League win over Salford at The Willows made it seven wins from nine.
Six tries in all, including a brace from Leroy Cudjoe, and five conversions from six attempts from Brett Hodgson gave Huddersfield the win. Salford could only manage two scores through Jordan Turner and John Wilshere.
