Bradford Bulls team news: Visitors still without key pieces
Bradford Bulls have been dealt with the bad news that they’ll have to wait at least another week to get back any of Nikorima, Okunbor or Russell with all three players still out injured for the away side.
Squad: Andy Ackers, Caleb Aekins, Guy Armitage, Waqa Blake, Ed Chamberlain, Eribe Doro, Brandon Douglas, Zac Fulton, Sam Hallas, Luke Hooley, Loghan Lewis, Esan Marsters, Joe Mellor, Rowan Milnes, Eliot Peposhi, Leon Ruan, Ethan Ryan, Mitch Souter, Ryan Sutton, Connor Wynne
St. Helens vs Bradford Bulls prediction
These two clubs have both picked up four points from their opening three Super Leagues and are separated on point difference by just one, which underlines just how similar a start both teams have made to the season. Each are dealing with notable injury problems within their respective squads and whoever boasts the superior depth pieces are likely to benefit hugely over the course of this match.
St. Helens had a bad start to the season, but Paul Rowley is starting to get a tune out of his squad now and back-to-back victories, including a resounding 4-36 win away to Catalans Dragons suggests that they are on the right track. Bradford Bulls are also on the back of consecutive wins but are yet to triumph on the road in Super League and that trend is likely to continue at the home of the Saints.
