Bradford push Toulouse to the wire despite 17 absentees in 16-12 defeat

Toulouse Olympique beat Bradford Bulls 16-12 in Round 25 of the Betfred Super League on 29 August 2026. Bradford travelled to the south of France without 17 first-team players — injuries to Ryan, Russell, Keyes and Fulton at Leigh Leopards plus Loghan Lewis's suspension. Debutant Harvey Ward and returning vice-captain Ryan Sutton helped the threadbare Bulls fall just four points short.
