Bulls stand off Iestyn Harris will have to wait at least another week to make his international return to the 13-man game.

Harris was surprisingly left out of coach Brian Noble's 19-man squad for tomorrow's Gillette Tri-Nations clash with Australia at the City of Manchester Stadium, despite being fit and available.

The former Wales rugby union international had spoken about the need to rest his tired body during the off-season after 18 months of solid rugby, but eventually agreed to be included Noble's plans.

Earlier in the week Harris, who last represented Great Britain in 1999, said he was feeling up to taking on the Kangaroos.

"It's only about another five weeks to go and there are some big games coming up, which sort of takes your mind off your body. You've just got to get on with it and enjoy it," he said.

But while Harris - who is sure to feature in the series at some stage - will have to wait for his chance, Bulls winger Stuart Reardon moved a step closer to his full international debut.

With Irishman Brian Carney a near certainty for one wing, Reardon looks to be in a three-way battle with Paul Wellens and Chev Walker for the other flank spot.

Bradford centre Paul Johnson was the only player not considered - because of illness - but forwards Stuart Fielden and Jamie Peacock have been included as expected.

GB Squad: Radlinski (Wigan), Wellens (St Helens), Reardon (Bradford), Carney (Wigan), Wild (Wigan), Gleeson (Warrington), Senior (Leeds), Walker (Leeds), Long (St Helens), Newton (Wigan), Fielden (Bradford), Farrell (Wigan, capt), Morley (Sydney Roosters), Bailey (Leeds), Peacock (Bradford), Ellis (Wakefield), Sculthorpe (St Helens), O'Loughlin (Wigan) McGuire (Leeds).
