Saints v Bulls: Teams

St Helens will be hoping it's a case of third time lucky at the Stobart Stadium when they take on Bradford on Friday night.

Saints are yet to register a 'home' win so far in the 2011 season, having lost to both Warrington and Harlequins at their temporary base in Widnes.

However Royce Simmons' side have found life much easier on the road, with their 30-16 triumph over Leeds last weekend giving them a third straight success on their travels.

Now they will be bidding to break their duck in Halton against a team coached by their former boss.

Mick Potter spent two seasons at the helm of St Helens but was unable to pick up any silverware during his time in charge, losing two Grand Finals.

"I am looking forward to catching up with a few people but apart from that it's not a big deal for me," said the Australian, who signed a three-year deal with the Bulls after originally planning to return Down Under.

Moore suspended

Saints hooker Scott Moore is ruled out after failing with his appeal against a one-match ban for a dangerous tackle on Leeds captain Kevin Sinfield.

Paul Clough also missing but Sia Soliola and Jon Wilkin are back from injury and included in Simmons' 19-man squad. It is hoped forwards Josh Perry and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook will be fit to feature.

Bradford, meanwhile, have Chev Walker available again, although Potter admits he may stick with the same line-up that defeated Yorkshire Castleford last Sunday at Odsal Stadium.

"Chev is available but we may not be able to find a spot for him," the Bulls boss told the club's official website.

"When you are coming off the back of a win it's hard to make changes. It's a close thing. We did some really good stuff and some not so good stuff but is it enough to make the change?

"It's a discussion we'll have later but it's a good position to be in. Sometimes you have plenty to choose from and sometimes you don't, so it's swings and roundabouts."

The visitors are still without Gareth Raynor (hamstring) and Ian Sibbit(abductor), who both picked up injuries in the 50-16 reverse at Huddersfield.

St Helens squad: Wellens, Gardner, Shenton, Soliola, Meli, Perry, Roby, Graham, Puletua, Wilkin, Flannery, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Wheeler, Ashurst, Lomax, Magennis, Foster, Gaskell, Dixon.

Bradford squad: Ainscough, Ah Van, Briggs, Diskin, Elima, Hargreaves, Herbert, Kearney, Kopczak, Langley, L'Estrange, Lynch, Olbison, Platt, Royston, Scruton, Sykes, Walker, Whitehead.
