Kiwis Shontayne Hape, pictured, and Joe Vagana are both named in the 19-man Bulls squad for the visit of Leeds.
Centre Hape returns after missing Castleford with a knee strain and should come straight back in for Chris Nero, who broke a collarbone during that win.
Prop Vagana is included having missed the last 12 fixtures with a broken arm.
Matt James drops out while Wayne Godwin has failed to shake of a groin problem and sits out a second consecutive match.
Luke Burgess is back for Leeds and hoping to set up another clash with brother Sam.
The prop did not play against Wakefield last week but comes in for Eric Anselme, who - as part of his original loan deal - has temporarily returned to Albi to play in the French Cup final.
Meanwhile, fans are urged to get to Grattan Stadium early for Friday night's match.
A big crowd is expected with 1990s boy band stars 911 part of some bumper pre-match entertainment, including the Reserve Grade fixture between the fierce rivals (kick-off 5.10pm).
Bulls media manager Stuart Duffy said: "This fixture is always one of the highlights of the rugby league calendar and we have put together an entertainment package worthy of such an event.
"Supporters arriving at the Grattan Stadium early will not only avoid turnstile congestion but will also witness a superb show with 911, soprano Helen Gregory and a special display from the Royal Marines."
The club's race night is in the Coral Stand at Odsal on Saturday.

Spo00ky let me explain, LD feels the need to blather the same thing ( alas many more times than twice ) so that he can finally lodge it in the seething mass of knowledge and camel s**t that slops around in his head. To respond to your very kind offer by the way LD I don't require a ticket for the game on Friday as I shall be able to enter the ground using my season ticket. Many many thanks all the same, my what a fun night I'm doubtless missing out on.
I was just waiting for the smell of burnt toast to kick in LOL!

He's a good forward to have despite his obvious failings in fitness, speed and mobility. If he wants to play Tupou at prop then he should start him there.
