Macca hails Dragon-slayer Langley
6:50am Monday 12th May 2008
Steve McNamara praised Jamie Langley after the second-rower helped power the Bulls into the Carnegie Challenge Cup quarter-finals.
Langley was immense as they destroyed Catalans Dragons 46-16 yesterday with an eight-try demolition.
The Great Britain man thundered through tackles, came up with some big hits, scored one touchdown and helped create another as Bradford upset the formbook to tear the French side to shreds.
McNamara said: "Jamie played the mid-season international against France last year and has been a little beset with injuries since. He's had some ups and downs but he's been really good for us these last few weeks.
"I think it was a great call for him getting the man of the match. He was really strong today and has also been helping us in the front row with us being a couple of blokes down there."
Semi Tadulala kept up his amazing scoring run with an incredible THIRD hat-trick in just seven games.
Bradford destroyed Catalans early on when Clint Greenshields was sin-binned, running in four tries in just nine minutes to open up a 24-0 lead while he was off.
The Bulls now eagerly await tonight's last eight draw as they continue their bid for Wembley and McNamara ominously added: "I think there's a whole lot more to come from Bradford this year, particularly in the second half of the season with the dry tracks.
"We enjoyed that aspect today and it suited us. It was a really good win."
