The Bulls could be bolstered by the return of Brett Kearney and Jamie Langley for Sunday's game against Crusaders.

Kearney has missed three games with a foot injury and Langley has been out for almost two months with a torn quad but both have made good progress this week.

Matt Orford misses out again, Michael Platt is serving a two-game suspension and Andy Lynch is sidelined following a knee operation.

Former England Academy prop Steve Crossley and back-rower Tom Olbison have been promoted to the squad.

Bulls squad to face Crusaders: Danny Addy, Dave Halley, Heath L'Estrange, Glenn Hall, Nick Scruton, Rikki Sheriffe, Steve Crossley, Jamie Langley, Craig Kopczak, Paul Sykes, Steve Menzies, Joe Wardle, Wayne Godwin, Chris Nero, Brett Kearney, Elliott Whitehead, Mike Worrincy, Tom Olbison, Stuart Reardon.
