THE final Betfred League One table, alongside Bulls' 47-0 evisceration of Oldham Roughyeds last week, suggests that Workington Town have little chance of winning tomorrow's play-off final at Odsal.

Bulls know all about the threat of Leon Pryce's men though, who have proved to be their nemesis this season. When Workington beat them 17-16 in Cumbria this April, it seemed a minor blip on their road to the title.

But with York City Knights winning constantly, Bulls' 24-18 defeat in the reverse fixture at Odsal in August proved fatal, and ensured they could only finish second.

Bulls prop James Green admitted this week that they allowed Workington to get into their heads that day and played right into their hands.

Head coach Pryce knows Bradford inside out and his specialist knowledge appears to have helped the Cumbrians when they have tacked John Kear's men this season.

The former Bulls winger can only do so much on the touchline though, and he will be reliant on some of his experienced charges to step up to the plate in tomorrow's final showdown.

Oliver Wilkes has seen it all during his 20-year career in the sport. The forward has featured for 12 different sides and played in Super League for Wakefield Trinity, Wigan Warriors, Huddersfield Giants and Kear's Sheffield Eagles in the late 1990s.

He also accrued 15 caps for Scotland until his retirement in 2013. He remains a threat in the club game though, and scored a vital try in last week's 30-18 play-off semi final win over Doncaster.

Half back Carl Forber is also dangerous. The 33-year-old is a Workington stalwart, having played for the club since 2012, and he showed that age is no obstacle by scoring the most points in League One last season.

He has continued that good form into 2018. He slotted all of his conversions in August's nerve-shredding game at Odsal and was deadly from the tee last weekend too, kicking seven goals in total.

Sean Penkywicz has had a chequered past. An impressive playing career with the likes of Halifax and Leigh Centurions has been punctuated by two lengthy drug bans.

The hooker protested his innocence on both occasions, but his career looked over when he was handed the second suspension in 2015.

He returned to action with Toronto Wolfpack last year though, playing a part in their promotion from League One, and he has had a similar effect in galvanising Workington this season.

Penkywicz shone as the Cumbrians won at Odsal, and John Kear will be hopeful that he and the other veterans in the Workington side cannot guide them to a third successive triumph over Bulls, on the biggest stage of all.
