CAPTAIN Leon Pryce returns to the Bradford Bulls squad for Sunday's Odsal clash with Batley Bulldogs.
Pryce has recovovered from the knee injury that forced him to miss last week's defeat by London Broncos.
Interim coach Leigh Beattie feels that having Pryce back this week has boosted morale in training, adding his senior authority to the squad.
Joshua Jordan-Roberts is left out of the 19, making room for youngster James Bentley or Colton Roche to fill in at loose forward.
Hooker Joe Lumb re-joins the team, taking the place for Vila Halafihi, as back up to the experienced Scott Moore.
Full backs Oscar Thomas and Lee Smith are both included and there is a return to the 19 for forward Ross Peltier.
Jon Magrin may play this weekend, despite suffering a blow to the head in a three-man tackle against his former club, London Broncos.
Bradford Bulls: Bentley, Campbell, Keyes, Kirk, Larroyer, Lumb, Macani, Magrin, Mendeika, Moore, Murray, Oakes, Oledzki, Peltier, Pryce, Roche, Ryan, Smith, Thomas
Batley Bulldogs: Bretherton, Farrell, Gledhill, Holme, Maher, Scott, Reittie, Smeaton, Hallett, Southernwood, Brambani, Leak, Rowe, Day, Lillycrop, Harrison, Manning, Hill, Hayward
