Wakefield v Bradford preview
Dane Nielsen looks set to make his eagerly-anticipated Bradford Bulls debut after being named in head coach James Lowes 19-Man Squad.
If selected, the State of Origin star will wear the number 37 jersey as the Bulls look to continue their excellent start to the Super 8s - The Qualifiers.
Scrum-half Harry Siejka looks set to make his return from injury against former club Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, with former Belle Vue man Matt Ryan also in the mix, after also being named in Lowes’ provisional squad.
In one further change to last week’s 19-man squad, Jean-Philippe Baile comes back into contention.
Head Coach Brian Smith has named his 19-man squad to face Bradford Bulls this Saturday at Belle Vue, kick-off 3pm.
Smith has named an unchanged side from last weekend’s disappointing defeat to Salford Red Devils.
Smith said, “We have four players who were very close in being named in the squad for this weekend. I have got 25 men all fit and we have got to make a tough choice of who to pick, unfortunately it does mean that some of the boys will miss out.
“We have had a good recovery after the game against Salford and the lads have got stuck into some very tough training sessions, with another one on Friday ahead of the fixture.”
