Bulls stand-off Paul Sykes is cleared to face Huddersfield on Sunday after his ban was overturned on appeal.

Sykes had initially been slapped with a one-match suspension after an RFL disciplinary panel found him guilty of a dangerous throw on Warrington's Chris Hicks.

But the charge was overturned at an appeal hearing this evening and Sykes was cleared of any wrongdoing for the incident which occurred in the 74th of last Sunday's Challenge Cup quarter-final.

It is a welcome boost for the Bulls, who are still struggling badly with injuries ahead of Sunday's clash with the Giants.
