Matt Orford should make his Bulls debut in Thursday night’s trial match at Hull KR (8pm).
The Aussie scrum half features in a strong side for the final friendly before Bradford’s season opener at Huddersfield on February 5.
Danny Sculthorpe and Michael Platt are the only first-team squad members ruled out, with both set to miss the early stages of the Super League cam-paign.
Utility back Platt will have his leg brace removed next week as he con-tinues his recovery from a knee prob-lem, while Sculthorpe is still strug-gling with a back injury.
Both are expected to be out for around three weeks.
Bulls team to face Hull KR: Dave Halley; Rikki Sheriffe, Paul Sykes, Chris Nero, Stuart Reardon; Brett Kearney, Matt Orford; Andy Lynch, Heath L’Estrange, Nick Scruton, Glenn Hall, Jamie Langley, Steve Menzies. Replacements: Craig Kopczak, Wayne Godwin, James Donaldson, Elliott Whitehead, Mike Worrincy, Jason Crookes.
