Rugby, Australian Football: Bullish Noble targets title repeat

Bradford coach Brian Noble reckons his side have "thrown off the shackles of mediocrity" and are ready to retain their Super League title.

The Bulls' charge has faltered on a number of occasions this year, tempting many to predict that a return to the Grand Final was beyond them.

But they found their form in time to take second spot in the league, and now only traditional rivals Leeds stand between them and a shot at the trophy they won last year.
