Bradford's acting captain Andy Lynch is confident the Bulls' shock derby triumph over champions Leeds can kick-start their engage Super League campaign.

A first home win of 2009, which denied the Rhinos the chance to return to the top of the table, lifted Bradford away from the bottom and Lynch believes they will go to Wakefield on Monday having turned the corner.

"We want to kick on from here," he said. "There are a lot of improvements there for us and we want to keep on improving every week. There is a lot more work to get to where we want to be."

Having let slip big leads in each of their two previous matches, Lynch was delighted his side were able to finish strongly to secure a memorable 10-6 win over Leeds, even if he had to witness it from the sidelines.

Lynch was chosen by coach Steve McNamara to lead the side in the absence of both regular skipper Paul Deacon and vice-captain Glenn Morrison but he missed the second half at Odsal after picking up a dead leg and is facing a race against time to be fit for the trip to Belle Vue.

"I was disappointed I came off injured after the first half but the lads really stuck in there," he said.

"It's been there all the time but this time we played for the 80 minutes, which was the difference. We stuck in there and ground it out."

Lynch accepts the Bulls will take on Wakefield as underdogs after John Kear's men climbed to fifth in the table with an impressive 35-6 win at Castleford.

"It's going to be a tough game," he said. "Everyone got up for the Leeds game and now we've got to back it up.

"Normally the week after it's tough but to do it three days later is a big ask. But we are aiming to get on a bit of a roll.

"If we can get a few wins together, a bit more confidence will come and hopefully we can carry on from here."

Meanwhile, Leeds forward Jamie Peacock admits his side need to bounce back quickly after a nightmare six-day spell.

Friday night's second League defeat, which came in the wake of their Challenge Cup exit at the hands of new leaders St Helens, has added fresh significance to Monday's visit of Salford.

"It's been tough," said Peacock. "That's what sport is like, it's either fantastic where you are right up there or low, there's no middle ground in sport.

"It's a rollercoaster and at the moment we're at the bottom and we have to pick ourselves up for Monday.

"Mentally it's a good thing (to play again so soon) but physically it might be a bad thing.

"We need to aim up on Monday and get ourselves a win. We need to put a performance together for the club and for the fans and hopefully we'll do that."

The Reds ended a run of six straight defeats by knocking Hull out of the Challenge Cup and their Good Friday League victory over Warrington has given Shaun McRae's men a fresh lease of life.

"Salford will definitely come with confidence," said Peacock. "I think they were real low before the Hull game but it's amazing what a win can do for you.

"They've kicked on to beat Warrington and we know we're going to be in for a tough encounter on Monday."

In other fixtures on Easter Monday, Warrington are at home to Castleford, Huddersfield go to Hull KR, St Helens are at home to Hull, Celtic Crusaders host Harlequins and Wigan visit Catalans Dragons.
