Bradford ran riot with a club record 17-try 98-6 romp in their fourth-round Carnegie Challenge Cup tie to blow a huge hole in Toulouse's claims for a Super League franchise.

Full-back Dave Halley scored four tries and stand-off Iestyn Harris kicked 15 conversions from 17 attempts to break the club's goalkicking record originally set by Joe Phillips in 1952 and equalled by Henry Paul eight years ago.

Bradford's score broke their previous highest set in their 96-16 Super League win over Salford in 2000.

Loose forward Glenn Morrison and winger Semi Tadulala both grabbed hat-tricks and the Bulls also had three other tries disallowed as they piled on the agony for Toulouse, whose 2007-08 season was brought to a sudden and calimitous end with a third defeat in eight days.

The outcome was a major disappointment for the 3,569 crowd, which included Rugby Football League chief executive Nigel Wood, and a huge embarrassment for the French.

With eight first-choice players sidelined through injury, Toulouse were a pale shadow of the side that reached the semi-finals just three years ago.

Bradford, even without four regulars, including captain and record points scorer Paul Deacon, had too much power and pace for the French part-timers and could have won by an even bigger margin.

When the Bulls led 36-0 after just 18 minutes, there was a real possiblity of them breaking the tournament record score of 120 set by Rochdale against amateurs Illingworth three years ago.

But Toulouse briefly halted the Bulls charge and left winger Frederic Vaccari pulled a try back on 22 minutes, bumping off prop Chris Feather on the way to the line, and full-back Hosni Kriouachi added the conversion.

The gulf in class was all to evident from the moment Great Britain forward Sam Burgess plunged over for the opening try in the second minute.

Scrum-half Ben Jeffries, Tadulala and substitute forward Simon Finnigan all touched down twice before half-time, with Morrison, James Evans and Halley adding others.

Tadulala completed his second hat-trick of the season 10 minutes into the second half and Morrison did likewise after taking an offload from Finnigan and then re-gathering a kick by Jeffries.

Morrison had a fourth try disallowed but Halley achieved that feat after going over for three in a seven-minute spell and Tame Tupou also got on the scoresheet on his first appearance for a month.
