I really hope he gets on the field a lot this season. Early signs though suggest he’s struggling with repeated knocks/shoulder concerns. Would be a huge boost on Friday if he was in. That said I’m pretty happy with Croft coming in. He can put a winger away, solid in defence and I think he will get better with more games too.

I may be wrong but im sure crowther said on his last injury update thornley was out for at least a month or 2,he was always a gamble of a signing esp when only goung with 3 centres he is known for missing games which is a pity cos think he would be decent in this league

Didn’t think that was the case so I just rewatched it. Thornley pulled out at the Newcastle game with a calf issue. The injury update 2 week ago Crowther said a couple of weeks so could possibly be Bradford game he returns.

Bain was also Bradford game or a few weeks after so I guess he could possibly feature too.

Guess we will have to wait and see.

Neither thornley or bain in squad,bulls look strong and brought a couple of players in intresting that one is a wigan player when there dual with us

On Bulls Facebook they’re not very positive and seem to see Corey Johnson and Brand as a big miss. I know Davies is out too.

Thornley is a big miss. I can honestly see Croft and Olpherts on the right which should be good. Whoever is against Taufua needs to get on him like a rash.

The threat for bulls will be Gaskell, Gill, Taufua imo. Need the forwards to get us on the front foot on home soil. Hope to see sone strong defence from us too.

Hopefully Gaskill and Taufua perform for Bradford as they did us.

The 2 loanees brought in by Bradford are complete novices at this level - one of them couldn't even get a game for Widnes when on dual reg there. Shirt -fillers, albeit with some potential in the future.

Yet lucas green as played sl for warrington and is a very good player

Referee for Friday is Marcus Griffthis.

I hope the team selection on Friday will be..

Walmsley
Pratt
