In 1999 Bradford signed New Zealand international Henry Paul from Wigan Warriors who linked up with brother Robbie Paul for the first time at professional club level. The club achieved record season ticket sales, and set a new scoring record as the Bulls thrashed Workington Town 92-0 in the fourth round of the Challenge Cup at Odsal. The Bulls won a Minor Premiership in Super League IV; staying undefeated at Odsal. The final home game saw the Bulls smash the Super League attendance record with 24,020 fans watching the 19-18 defeat of Leeds Rhinos. A rugby league record 50,717 fans at Old Trafford saw the Bulls controversially lose the Grand Final 8-6 to St Helens. Henry Paul won the Harry Sunderland Trophy as man of the match.
