Bulls coach Brian Noble faces a tough choice between four Grand Final-veteran Paul Anderson and in-form 22-year-old prop Richard Moore as he looks to finalise his line-up for tomorrow's showdown with Leeds Rhinos.

Anderson hasn't played since mid-August but has looked in good shape in training over the last two weeks.

If Anderson does play it will be his last appearance for the club before departing for St Helens next season. But Noble insists the eight years of service Anderson has given the club won't be a factor when he picks his side.

"The team that I pick will be the one that I think can do the job tomorrow," said Noble.

"It would be brilliant for Paul to leave having played in the Grand Final but the question is whether he is in the position to perform as he should?

"I understand that emotion plays a big part in big games, but I also know that over-emotion gets you beat. We need to be smart in our selections."

Noble has stuck to his guns in insisting that centre Leon Pryce has a chance of making a miracle comeback from the dislocated shoulder he suffered against Leeds, but Paul Johnson has been earmarked to start in his place. That should see academy product Jamie Langley - who was an ever-

present before being dropped for the final match of the regular season - reinstated to the bench.

After Lesley Vainikolo sarted the season with a five-try blitz of Wigan - including a 90-metre kick return - Noble challenged opponents to "keep kicking to him fellas".

Noble has once again restated the challenge, believing the big winger has turned what was once his biggest weakness into a great strength.

"You take a chance if you kick to Les," said Noble. "A lot of teams kick to him because they get him on a standing start and they think that they can cope with him. But sometimes it is the worst thing you can do. He'll give you the big paw and he is gone. He is quick off the mark. He is nought to 100 in a few steps."

Noble insisted Vainikolo had yet to reach his full potential.

"I think he has a bit more in him. He is only 25 so there is plenty more improvement in him. He does love a big game too.

"His first year was difficult but he had a lot of injuries. If you could find an injury that year he found it, so he never really got fit. He copped a lot of criticism, which is not nice for anybody to take. But it fuelled his fire.

"I sit there sometimes in the stand when Les is going off on one, belting 15 blokes and running all over the place, wondering 'just how do you stop him'?"

The Rhinos might represent the dream final for Bulls fans but Noble insists the rivalry between the clubs hasn't raised the stakes.

"The players know how special this occasion is but the fact that it is Leeds doesn't increase the pressure on us. That pressure has been there all year. The expectancy on the Bradford team is there all of the time because of the success that we have had.

"We want to do well for ourselves, because there have been some unfair things said about us this year. That has fuelled our fire.

"Sometimes you just can't click overnight. We had a new team and we then lost four or five players to injury but I knew that when we got those players back we would be a force."
