THE Bulls face a midweek rearranged trip to Oldham following the Roughyeds' giant-killing exploits in the Challenge Cup.

Former Odsal centre Scott Naylor guided the Lancashire outfit to promotion last season and his star is continuing to rise this term.

Oldham caused one of the greatest shocks of recent times on Saturday with a stunning 36-22 win at last year's beaten finalists Hull KR.

That means their league match at home to Bradford, scheduled for Sunday, May 8, has been postponed because Oldham will be in Challenge Cup sixth-round action on that weekend.

The trip to Bower Fold, home of Stalybridge Celtic FC, was originally planned for Sunday, March 6 but was called off because of a frozen pitch and rearranged for early next month.

No new date has yet been announced for the fixture but Naylor said: "Our next free week is Challenge Cup semi-final weekend, so the Bradford game will have to be played in midweek at some point."

Meanwhile, the newly-formed Canada team who will join League One next season are in talks with the Bulls over sharing their training facility at Tong in 2017.

Canada will be based in Toronto for their home games but are set to use Tong as they prepare for their schedule of away fixtures.

Former Bulls chief Brian Noble is heading up the team as director of rugby and former Leigh boss Paul Rowley will serve as head coach.

Bradford are currently in talks with several players over new deals but Chris Ulugia, currently on a season-long loan at Batley, is set to join John Kear at Wakefield in 2017, along with former Bulls academy player Keegan Hirst.
