Sunday 1st May
Venue: Grattan Stadium
KO: 15:00
Referee: T Alibert
Teams:
Bradford (17 from): Ainscough, Ah Van, Burgess, Crossley, Donaldson, Elima, Hargreaves, Herbert, Kopczak, L'Estrange, Lynch, Olbison, Platt, Walker, Royston, Sibbit, Sykes, Whitehead.
Warrington (17 from): Anderson, Atkins, Bridge, Briers, Carvell, Clarke, Cooper, Grix, Harrison, Higham, Hodgson, King, J Monaghan, M Monaghan, Morley, Solomona, Westwood, Williams, Wood.
Tom Burgess and James Donaldson should return for this game after missing the trip to Catalans through injury. Gareth Raynor and John Batement are the two that have been omitted from the 19 man squad.
Chris Bridge is fit again after missing Monday's loss to Hull, but are still without Richie Myler who is out for the next few weeks with a fractured cheekbone. Warrington have won on their last three trips to Odsal and I'm tipping them to continue that run on Sunday.
What Bradford coach Mick Potter had to say:
"The guys went well against Leeds and were probably unlucky in some respects against Catalans as the weather was bad and that caused it to be an error-ridden game.
"Warrington have a lot of players who can hurt you if you lapse defensively. Just the sheer amount of offloads they can get in one play is a problem and we can't afford to have a lull in concentration for one second.
"Warrington can put 60 points on you if you blink. But they are beatable, as a few teams have shown this season. If they take their foot off the gas they become vulnerable."
