Looking forward to this despite both sides being a bit plagued by injuries and suspensions. We look very weak at prop and on the wings, and losing Gaskell really reduces our creativity. Could be an interesting line up. Edit - seems we Green and Wilson our loan props for another 3 weeks

McGowan
Myers
Arundal
Gill
Will Oakes/ Mackenzie Scurr - would be a full debut for either.
Johnson/Jowitt/Moss
Lilley
Smith
Souter
Lawrence
Fulton - glad he's made it over - not a moment too soon.
Butler
Davies

Ott (has he had his visa confirmed?)
Appo
Green
Wilson

If we could somehow get Blackmore or Peposhi back that would help. Think Ebon Scurr is a few weeks off yet.

Looking forward to seeing how Fulton will go. I assume Ott is good to go if he's featured for the reserves. Corey Johnson didn't play for the Rhinos reserves this weekend so I assume he is back with us. Wilson and Green looked handy against Wakefield so hopefully they can kick on whilst they are with us.

Bit of expectation on the Bulls for this one, first home game for us so I hope the players are fired up and willing to put in the 80 minute effort that'll be needed to get a result.

Ott hasn’t been in the reserves A Trialist has that should tell you all you need about his visa

Flippin eck. GFS likely to be on the bench then.

Despite having so many injuries, feel like there's a bit of pressure to win this one. We can still name a strong team, Fax played on Sunday while we had a week off.

With us having the toughest opening set of fixtures possible, I think it's vital we get a win as soon as possible. It's not beyond the realms of possibility we lose all our first 5 fixtures. We don't have any freebies to ease ourselves into the season. But if we get a win against a play-off competitor, while the likes of Scurr, Gaskell, Doro etc are on the sideline, it sets us up for a good season.

But we've been average at best in the cup games, if we don't improve Fax will take the win.

A lot depends on how the spine plays since without Gaskell we seem to lack the knowhow to ask questions of the opposition defence and revert to Kear-ball on the 5th tackle where we try an aimless kick to Gill or hand the ball over.

Think MacKenzie Scurr's in with a shout of a debut on the wing.

Hopefully ott gets his visa through looks to have a really good boot on him!

Can you pay cash at the turnstiles on friday or is it card only.

It will be card only on turnstiles, cash payments, you’ll need to buy a ticket from the shop beforehand

Thanks for that.

We've brought in winger Connor Carr from Huddersfield and front rower Max Wood from Warrington for two weeks. Wood sounds like a handful. EOC: "Wood is someone we have been looking at for some time now. He will give us a point of difference and from the games I’ve seen he’s been very impressive. He carries the ball with intent and challenges oppositions defences while defensively he works hard and has good energy." https://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/article ... in-on-loan

Cheers Sam!

I thought we'd decided, post-the Mark Dunning era, that we weren't going down the DR/Short-term route anymore?

I don't think we ever had 11 players out under Dunning did we
We have both wingers out and Doro,Scurr,Okoro,Baldwinson missing in forwards

Dunning replaced fully fit players with loanees and dual reg.
