Halley gives Bulls first win

The winger had been recalled from a loan spell at Wakefield earlier this week and returned to score an amazing 80th-minute try to give Bradford a 30-24 win and ease the pressure on Bulls boss Steve McNamara.
Now it is Catalans coach Kevin Walters who is under the cosh after his side slipped to their fifth defeat of the year.
The gutted hosts thought they had ended the rut when Jean-Philippe Baile's 67th-minute try gave them the lead for the first time since the fourth minute.
Catalans had already had three efforts turned down by the video referee after powering past the visitors in the second half but Bradford clung on and Terry Newton's 74th-minute touchdown brought them back to just two points behind.
Paul Sykes missed the easy conversion but slotted a 77th-minute penalty to level. Bradford then lined up for a drop goal in the dying seconds but, as the Catalans defence pressured, Sykes handed on to Ben Jeffries who darted clear and sent Halley over.
It means Bradford remain the only side to boast a 100% record in Perpignan.
