Preview:
Warrington v Bradford (Round 11)

Steve McNamara admits he faces a tough baptism as Bradford coach as he takes the side left by Brian Noble to Warrington on Sunday.


The engage Super League champions begin life without Noble against a side that beat them at Odsal just a fortnight ago.


McNamara has taken charge following Noble?s defection to Wigan this week and is relishing the challenge of following in his highly successful predecessor?s footsteps.


The former Bulls loose forward said: ?They are all tricky games but Warrington do have a great record against us. Over history they have been a tough side to beat.


?There is pressure in every job, and there is high pressure following a high-profile coach like Brian but I am ready for it.


?I know we won the Grand Final but our consistency has not always been there.


?Everyone?s perception at the moment is St Helens are the best side in terms of consistency of performance.


?As a coach that is what I am striving to achieve here to take us to the next level.?
