COLTON Roche is poised to make his second debut for Bulls tomorrow, with coach John Kear expecting a physical challenge from visitors Barrow.

The prop enjoyed a season with Bradford in 2017 prior to moving to Huddersfield and has returned to Odsal on loan for the rest of the current campaign after youngster Oliver Wilson joined the Giants.

He comes in for Callum Bustin, while Ashley Gibson is hoping to make his 200th career appearance as he replaces David Foggin-Johnston.

Mikey Wood looks set to return following illness in the only other change to the 19-man squad from the 33-26 win at Halifax, with late replacement for Wood, James Green, keeping his place and Ross Oakes dropping out.

Barrow are third from bottom in the Championship, with just one win from 10 games, and they head to Odsal on the back of a 52-26 defeat at home to table-toppers Toronto.

But Kear expects them to provide a tough test.

He said: "We had a look at Barrow and there are some big men in the middle and they quite physical with you.

"We’ve done the clips for Barrow and those will be shown to the players on Sunday.

"They are big, they are aggressive, they are strong and will test us physically so our team might reflect that.

Loose forward Wood was a late withdrawal from the Halifax game and Kear explained: "Mikey had sickness and diarrhoea. He rang me first thing on Friday morning.

"Obviously I was mindful of the (hot) weather. You couldn’t play in that in a dehydrated state and I thought James (Green) came in and did a really good job."
