Whoever gets on the bus bound for Headingley tonight will get a game, warned Brian Noble.
Top-of-the-table Bulls take on second-placed Leeds at Headingley with five players ruled out and another four facing a desperate rush to be fit for the crunch clash.
But Noble is insisting his troops are ready for battle against their arch rivals, despite just 17 players completing training yesterday.
"It is a case of whoever turns up on the bus can play," said a remarkably relaxed Noble.
"We have really struggled for numbers but we are not focusing on
that.
"I have healthy players and we are ready for this game."
Long-term injury victims Mick Withers, Stuart Fielden, Karl Pratt and Robbie Paul will all miss out with Leon Pryce, who injured his sternum last week, also set to watch from the sidelines.
And Noble is also sweating on the fitness of Danny Gartner (knee), Chris Bridge (calf), Lesley Vainikolo (knee) and Mike Forshaw (muscle) but remains upbeat. "This is a big game and I am excited about it," he added.
"It is only two points but the media are hyping it up and there will be 20,000 plus people there.
"These sort of games are what top-class rugby league is all about.
"But this is not the Grand Final and there will probably be plenty more twists and turns to come this
season.
"We are up for this and I can't wait."
