Wolves v Bulls: Teams

Smith: We'll have to be on our game

Warrington return to Super League action against the Bulls on Sunday looking to put the disappointment of last week's Challenge Cup up quarter-final defeat behind them.

Wolves skipper Adrian Morley remains sidelined with a head injury, while influential stand-off Lee Briers is also still absent from head coach Tony Smith's 19-man squad.

Briers could be out for a month with a calf injury but David Solomona could return before the end of the season after an injury to his knee turned out to be less serious than initially thought.

Bradford go into the game on the back of a 36-0 demolition of Huddersfield Giants a fortnight ago and Smith kows his side will have to be on their toes.

"Bradford will have taken a lot of confidence from their last match and they've had some other good performances in recent times too," he said.

"They'll be going into this game in a confident manner. It takes some doing, being able to nil a team and scoring that many points against a good defensive side like Huddersfield.

"We will have to be on our game but that's how we like it."

Tough match

The Bulls name a largely unchanged squad for the encounter at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Ian Sibbit could be close to making a return to action and replaces Jason Crookes in Mick Potter's 19-man.

Sibbit has missed the Bulls' last three games since breaking his thumb in a game at Headingley in June.

Potter is also aware that Warrington will be eager to bounce back from their cup defeat at the hands of Wigan and expects a tough match.

"One thing's for certain and that's when you get a loss, especially like a Cup loss like they had, they will want to show their fans that they can still play and that they are still leading the comp on merit," he said.

"They are a quality team and we are playing them at their own stadium so it's going to be difficult. I am expecting a response from them but I would also like to think that we can compete with them when they are at their best.
