Bulls coach Matthew Elliott's instructions to his players will be simple for the visit to Warrington Wolves tomorrow night.

"Control the ball and we will win the game."

After heaping pressure on themselves with their poor handling against London last week, Elliott says: "It has been a little bit of a disappointing part of our game so far this season and we will continue to work on it.

"We did get it right at Castleford and everyone saw the results. When we control the ball we are an outstanding team.

"If we get enough possession, teams struggle to contain us.

"Statistics show that we make the most yards in possession, but it is no use making the yards if we drop the ball all the time. We have got to get the balance right."

Elliott is anticipating another tough hurdle, despite Wolves becoming the first side to suffer defeat at the hands of newcomers Huddersfield last weekend.

"They were on a bit of a roll before that game," he said. "They had won their previous three games and they will be pretty keen to get back on track.

"We seem to be coming up against sides that are coming at us on the back of games they should have won."

Elliott has not named his full line-up, but has confirmed that Matt Calland will take over from Danny Peacock in the centre, with Nathan Graham returning on the bench.

"I have just stopped wiping the tears from my eyes over Danny.

"He is such an influential player for us. I have now lost three of my best ball-carriers for the season, and I can't really believe it.

"Danny in particular is a big void to fill. I have been in the transfer market for several weeks, but there is nothing imminent."

Warrington have lost leading scorer Lee Briers with knee trouble and Aussie half-back Adam Doyle, who had a groin operation this week.
