BULLS have announced their squad for Sunday's game at Oldham, confirming that they are shorn of two more half-backs as the crisis in that department continues.
Billy Jowitt and Jordan Lilley are unavailable due to injuries picked up against Widnes Vikings and Batley Bulldogs respectively, with Danny Brough still a long-term absentee.
It means Joe Keyes is the only first-team half back in the squad, and it remains to be seen whether John Kear will give young Matthew Race a chance alongside him down at Bower Fold.
In better news, Ebon Scurr could return following isolation protocol, while Jack Sanderson continues his rehabilitation following an ankle injury.
Matty Dawson-Jones and Levy Nzoungou, as well as Brough, remain mid to long term absentees.
