A month ago, the Bulls looked certain to miss out on the play-offs for the first time. But their late-season revival - combined with lapses by Warrington, Catalans Dragons and Harlequins - has breathed new life into their season.

Catalans remain in pole position. But defeat at St Helens next Friday would open the door for Bradford, Warrington or Harlequins - now outsiders following today's defeat by Castleford - in a tense finish to the season.

Bradford may have benefited from a helping hand in their unlikely pursuit of play-off glory, but Steve McNamara's men did themselves a power of good against an outclassed Salford side who were swept away in a blistering opening.

Joe Westerman's impressive hat-trick in a 48-0 victory rubber-stamped Castleford's play-off spot and all but ensures Harlequins will not make it.

The two sides began the day with just two points between them, but Westerman's heroics left Quins to wonder what might have been.

Mitchell Sargent and Dean Widders were also among the scorers - but it was Westerman who stole the show.
