Bradford head coach Kurt Haggerty has hailed a significant moment in his club’s history after the Bulls were confirmed to face Leigh in the Betfred Super League’s third Las Vegas clash next February.
The two clubs will follow previous pairings of Wigan and Warrington, and Hull KR and Leeds respectively, in joining a triple-header to mark the opening of the new Australian NRL Premiership season.
Bradford’s opportunity will come on the 25th anniversary of the first of their three World Club Challenge titles, and Haggerty believes it rubber-stamps their return to the top table after an interim period blighted by relegation and liquidation.
