York Knights team news: No changes for hosts

Why change a winning formula appears to be the logic of York Knights head coach Mark Applegarth, who has not made any adjustments to the squad that defeated Catalans Dragons last time out.

Squad: Toa Mata’afa, Ben Jones-Bishop, Sam Wood, Scott Galeano, Ata Hingano, Liam Harris, Jack Martin, Paul McShane, Paul Vaughan, Jesse Dee, Jordan Thompson, Denive Balmforth, Xavier Va’a, Justin Sangare, Oli Field, Jon Bennison, Nikau Williams, Matty Foster, Cody Hunter, David Nofoaluma, Tommy Doyle

Bradford Bulls team news: Marsters has a chance

Loghlan Lewis has been removed from the Bradford Bulls squad and replaced by Esan Marsters, who will be assessed ahead of potentially making his first Bulls appearance since April following a long-term injury.

Squad: Caleb Aekins, Jayden Okunbor, Esan Marsters, Waqa Blake, Ryan Sutton, Andy Ackers, Loghan Lewis, Dan Russell, Joe Mellor, Ebon Scurr, Will Gardiner, Luke Hooley, Connor Wynne, Eliot Peposhi, Alfie Leake, Jamie Gill, Leon Ruan, Chris Atkin, Phoenix Steinwede, Harvey Ward, Riley Dean

York Knights vs Bradford Bulls prediction

York Knights will be absolutely delighted with the season they’ve had and so they should be, sitting in tenth-place. They’ll no doubt want to stay there, which they will with a win over the rock bottom Bradford Bulls who must be willing the season to end at this point. Although the Bulls got a notable home win last time out vs Castleford Tigers, they’ve not won on the road since July 10th.

On their own ground, York Knights should be favoured. They were really impressive away in Perpignan most recently and you’d expect them to take that back home. In front of their own fans, the Knights will be motivated and are worth backing to be the team who ends the campaign with a victory.
