Dane Nielson looks set to make his Bradford debut as the Bulls travel to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in the Super 8s qualifier on Saturday.

The former St George Illawara star was released from his contract in May following a nightclub incident and has signed with the Bulls until the end of next season.

Scrum-half Harry Siejka looks to make his return from injury against his former club, with former Belle Vue man Matt Ryan also in the mix.

In one further change to the squad that beat Sheffield Eagles 42-10 last weekend, Jean-Phillipe Baile is back in contention.

Wakefield head coach Brian Smith has named an unchanged side from last weekend’s 34-26 defeat to Salford Red Devils

A victory over ex-Bulls boss Brian Smith's men would represent a significant step for the Championship side, who will be granted an instant top-flight return if they finish in the top three of the Super 8s Qualifiers.
