Jeffries eager to rattle Rhinos

Aching Bulls star Ben Jeffries will not contemplate missing out on another Leeds face-off.

The Aussie stand-off returned to the fray against Castleford on Sunday, having frustratingly been sidelined by a hamstring injury for Bradford's previous two fixtures - including Millennium Magic.

And he did not hang around in making up for lost time, immediately firing by scoring one try, creating two others and posing plenty of problems with his clever handling in a 46-24 success at The Jungle.

Jeffries bounced back double quick from his lay-off and is now ignoring some painful after-effects to eye up the prospect of pitting his skills against the table-topping Rhinos this Friday night.

He said: "I really enjoyed it out there against Cas. It's been hard over the last couple of weeks trying to get myself fit and I'm not going to lie, the hammy was really sore after the match.

"It's taken a couple of days to ease down again but playing with injuries this time of year is part and parcel of the game. Everyone's carrying knocks and I was just glad to be featuring again.

"It's Leeds again now and I don't want to miss that, having sat out the one in Cardiff. They've got two up on us this year but this time they're coming to Bradford and hopefully we'll give our fans a bit of a show."

The Bulls definitely missed Jeffries' spark when they crashed at the Millennium Stadium, having already gone down 44-2 at Headingley Carnegie.

But the former Wakefield ace linked well with Paul Deacon at the weekend, their promising half-back combination continuing where it had left off before Jeffries went lame against Wigan.

They teamed up to taste plenty of success - especially with some flat passing down the middle that had surging runners exploiting gaps galore.

The duo will look for more of the same against the Super League champions when they collide for the third time this season at Grattan Stadium.

"We've been working hard on our push recently and our short passing game," revealed Jeffries, who has now collected six tries in 12 games.

"It's something we need to improve on and the signs were there against Cas. It was tough early on though. They sort of grow an extra leg at The Jungle and the crowd really get behind them.

"Cas got in front but we composed ourselves and then started working to the gameplan we should have been doing from the off. We eventually ran away with it and now all sights are on Leeds."

With Jefferies at S/O and the more physical Platt at F/B the Rhinos won't find it as easy as the last two. Bulls at home can do it.

Add to that of course, there will be no Tame 2p on the wing so at least Donald will have to try and run round Evans.

And what about Halley?

Personally, I think I'd rather see Evans & Sykes in the centres Halley & Tadulala on the wings and Hape coming on as a backrow/loose forward. Get the ball in his hands more and give Sinfield some work to do!

We are blessed with so many forwards. Langley, Morro',Finnegan and Burgess all cable of playing at Backrow/ Loose fwd so I don't see Hape being considered there. I am at a loss to know what we should do with Halley. He's such a good player but I think Platt is a better F/B at least defensively and Evans will be better against Donald, again defensively. I don't see Macca playing Halley against either Leeds or Hull but it wouldn't worry me either, if he did. Oh and according to LJ we can't play him on the bench as that has to be 2 props a backrow and a hooker!!

Adrian, No one can really argue with the team you suggest (except the Platt haters and the ones who will offer you Maccas job for daring to suggest a team!) I think your suggestions are sound but believe Macca will want to play Sykes and Evans together to try to stop Leeds out wide. Whatever, it's a mouth watering prospect, Bulls being at home especially. Bring it on!

with jefferies in the team aswell adds a decent kicking game since deacon hasnt been the best for a while but hopefully with jefferies and deacon on form on friday we can take the rhinos down... as for full back i think it should be halley as he seems alot more confident with high balls unlike platt always allows the bounce which you cant afford to do...as for tame tupou be same old story we will get a 20 point lead then have a marvellous idea to bring him on instead of evans ( happens all the time)

I like Adrians. Hape as a forward worked for NZ why not Bulls? Drop Harris and Topou if Vagana aint fit. But ONLY as a prop.

I really beleive that Tupou is gonna be a fine prop. Power, size and speed. And he also has that bit of agression.

Exactly! Not only would it be a good idea but the Leeds Coach already tried it and it worked! Everyone knows what Hape can do with ball in hand and this year he hasn't been getting the service (mainly from Nero). If they bring him off the bench as a replacement for Solomona & use Finnigan on a rotation with Langley then it keeps the backrow fresh, speeds it up and gets the ball in Hape's hand more. I'd like to see Kevin Sinfield try and stop Hape...he'd have no chance!

Halley did do some good work against Leeds but Bulls shipped in so many points. The F/B can't be everywhere I know but questions have been asked would they have passed Platt so easily. Well we're about to find out and somehow I don't think they will. Halley has made some splendid tackles but there have been doubts about his overall positional play at F/B. He does excell at bringing the ball out though.

surely they would have asked him about a contract. maybe there is problems with terms etc!or maybe other clubs might be interested as they know he isnt 1st choice with macca. sometimes macca is a **** with players!

Halley did do some good work against Leeds but Bulls shipped in so many points. The F/B can't be everywhere I know but questions have been asked would they have passed Platt so easily. Well we're about to find out and somehow I don't think they will. Halley has made some splendid tackles but there have been doubts about his overall positional play at F/B. He does excell at bringing the ball out though.
There have been no issues with his positional play whatsoever, Haitch.

Always takes the ball on the full and runs it back hard and he never makes dumb offloads anywhere on the field which give possesion up.
