"We gave ourselves a mountain to climb. Going 16-0 down wasn't in the script. "We looked to have got ourselves back in it but proceeded to throw it away a second time. Saints capitalised on the errors we made and the penalties we conceded.
"We were left chasing the game and became a bit anxious."
St Helens coach Daniel Anderson:
"You don't want to test your resolve and character so early but it does augur well for the rest of the year. "I thought the leaders in our team - Sean Long, Leon Pryce and Keiron Cunningham - were absolutely outstanding.
"We were under the cosh for a while but our resilience and character showed up."
Bradford: Platt, Evans, Sykes, Nero, Hape, Harris, Deacon, Vagana, Newton, Lynch, Langley, Morrison, Burgess.
Replacements: Halley, Godwin, Finnigan, James.
St Helens: Wellens, Gardner, Gidley, Talau, Meli, Pryce, Long, Fozzard, Cunningham, Graham, Gilmour, Clough, Bennett.
Replacements: Hargreaves, Sculthorpe, Frodsham, Roby.
Referee: P Bentham (Warrington)
