BRADFORD Bulls have included Sam Hallas in their 21-man squad for the game with Newcastle this Sunday, for the first time since their Challenge Cup loss to Featherstone in March.

Hallas broke his jaw in that clash and though he had successful surgery on the injury, he has been missing since.

Head coach John Kear admitted to the T&A that he was unsure whether to risk Hallas just yet, so it remains to be seen whether he makes the cut for the final 17.

On-loan Hull winger Miteli Vulikijapani, who has made a bright start out on the right, misses out on Sunday's game through an as yet unspecified injury, but a like-for-like replacement comes in in David Foggin-Johnston.

Dan Fleming also misses out from the side that faced York last weekend.
