Sculthorpe, introduced as a substitute midway through the first half, made a steady comeback after almost nine months out with a ruptured Achilles, but Fozzard is possibly ruled out for the season with suspected ligament damage.

Coach Daniel Anderson said: "Gareth Frodsham was rattled and didn't come back for the second half and Nick Fozzard looks to have a serious knee injury. We hopes he's wrong but the doctor fears the worst."

He added: "You don't want to test your resolve and character so early but it does augur well for the rest of the year.

"I'm absolutely stoked (delighted). We had a 12-5 penalty count against us and we lost two front rowers."

Already without Jason Cayless, Maurie Fas'asavalu, Jon Wilkin and Chris Flannery, Saints also lost teenage front rower Frodsham, after he was left dazed by a tackle from Bradford's Sam Burgess just four minutes after going on as substitute.

Saints stormed into a 10-0 lead inside 10 minutes thanks to tries from impressive prop James Graham and winger Ade Gardner and stretched their advantage further when former Bradford second rower Lee Gilmour scored a third try on 22 minutes.

Bradford rallied and cut the gap to six points with tries either side of half-time through James Evans and Paul Sykes but Saints hooker Keiron Cunningham clinched the win with a trademark close-range try on 69 minutes.

"I thought the leaders in our team - Sean Long, Leon Pryce and Keiron - were absolutely outstanding," added Anderson. "We were under the cosh for a while but our resilience and character showed up."
