Bradford Bulls vs Leeds Rhino

Leeds Rhinos, the reigning champions, are a best price 8/13 to maintain their unbeaten start to the season against an improving Bradford Bulls on Thursday night. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Despite making a slow start to the Super League season, the Bulls have now won four in a row including a decent victory over Hull last Friday. An added boost is Lesley Vainikolo has turned down a move to the Zurich Premiership to stay in Bradford. The Tongan born winger has touched down an astonishing 81 times in just 87 games. Vainikolo was also on the scoresheet in four of Bradford's five games against Leeds last season, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see at least one score this evening. Meanwhile, Leeds will be without their try scoring machine. Danny McGuire has been out for four weeks but had been considered for a possible return in the Odsal clash. That though now won't happen which is a blow for the visitors. While the Rhinos have remained unbeaten this term, recently the team hasn't quite looked in top form. Bradford though look to be improving with each game, and so long as the defence can hold firm, may well have enough to win tonight's game. There is also the small matter for the Bulls of avenging the Super League Grand Final defeat, which will only add to their motivation. Try a small bet on the hosts at 6/4 with VCBet
