Both the Bulls and Wakefield Wildcats are expected to field their strongest line ups for their final pre season game at Odsal on Sunday.

The Bulls gave debuts to Matt Diskin, Olivier Elima and Kyle Briggs in last week's game at Dewsbury and all three are expected to feature again as Mick Potter takes a last opportunity to see his side in competitive action ahead of season opener against Leeds at the Millennium Magic Weekend in a fortnight's time.

Wakefield too will play their strongest available team for what promises to be the Bulls toughest encounter of their pre season.

Prices for the game, which kicks off at 15:00 are £12 for adults and £6 for concessions. As at the Halifax match the Stadium Road Terrace will not be open with supporters having the option of sitting in the main stand with an unreserved seating policy or standing on the Rooley Avenue Terrace.

Bulls CEO Ryan Duckett feels the game will be highly competitive:

"This is the last chance for players from both sides to impress ahead of selection for the Millennium Magic season opener and both Coaches will be looking to finalise their thoughts on what line up will be playing. We are unbeaten in our two pre season games but expect the Wildcats to give us our sternest test ahead of the season."

Dont think we will play full strength do you?

i think he will put a full squad out and let them have game time together before the leeds game.

But he could do that against Keighley?

Better to do it against SL opposition. So that we can get a real idea of where the team is as a unit.

Yeah, a full strength squad could probably put 80 points on Keighley, but tbh those sorts of wins aren't always that useful.

Yes sorry getting my dates mixed up. Dont even ask why, but i thought we played on the tuesday after wakefield!!!

Yeah, I think we will see a young / squad players go over to Keighley on Friday night and then put out a starting 13 out with a bench maybe containing some of Fridays players as I'm sure it won't be the standard 4 subs?

Imo i would put out who were playing against leeds.

They will have played two days previously against Wakey though, probably with just the normal subs, so I doubt that will happen. More likely to be the remainder of the first team squad not expected to play in Cardiff plus a few youngsters.

It has to be the starting side that would play Leeds IMo with this being are last pre-season game.

Morro talking positive for Wakey. Would expect nothing less from him www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/s ... 6702467.jp

Nice thought, but whilst thats not going to happen, at least wakey couldn't ask for a better man to be captain at this troubling time I reckon... tough times for wakey.

I really hope when Morro retires we can get him back at Bradford in a coaching capacity (same for the Beaver)

He's already got some of his badges hasnt he?

Yeah, he's on the coaching staff at Wakey I think

correct. Does their u18's I think.

Yep used to coach south bradford open age.but when moved to wakey part of package was to become their u18s coach so left souths..a good coach as well.

Looks like we might be without Danny Addy. Tweeted a few hours ago that he was in A&E for a scan on a possibly broken jaw.

Probably thanks to the cheap shot from the Dewsbury game, early blow for both player and the team.

assume he picked it up in dewsbury game?

Bloody hell.

He'll be gutted.

Looks like a good side.

Bulls squad (v Wakefield): Michael Platt, Paul Sykes, Chev Walker, Patrick Ah Van, Brett Kearney, Marc Herbert, Nick Scruton, Heath L’Estrange, Andy Lynch, Olivier Elima, Elliott Whitehead, Jamie Langley, Matt Diskin, Bryn Hargreaves, Craig Kopczak, Ian Sibbit, Shaun Ainscough, Gareth Raynor, Shad Royston, Kyle Briggs.

its the squad predicted by Mick on Sunday in the Keighley thread ie the squad minus Crossley etc and injuries. But no clues yet as to how they will line up on the pitch, unlike the side playing Keighley. Very tempted to go to that as I go to Keighley sometimes as the nearest championship side.

Same although I'd rather spend my money on Wakey game. Can only afford to go to one match. Briggs and Herbert to start in halves im guessing with Elima and Whitehead at SR. Scruton and Lynch and Prop with Heath at Hooker. Langers at Loose.
