Bradford have now been out of Super League for over a decade, but remain one of just four clubs to have been crowned top-flight champions in the summer era – lifting the title four times.

Below, we run through the Bulls‘ top 10 Super League try-scorers of all-time, with play-off games included, but not matches in The Qualifiers – which Bradford were involved in back in 2015.

As you’d expect, games in other competitions – including the Challenge Cup and the World Club Challenge – are excluded.

Without further ado, here is the list of their top 10 try-scorers of all-time in Super League
