ELIOT Peposhi is back for Bulls’ Betfred Championship clash at Featherstone Rovers this Sunday after a lengthy spell out injured, while Fenton Rogers could be in line to make his first start of 2024 for the club.

Back row talent Peposhi initially came in on trial, and has impressed enough to earn himself a place in Eamon O’Carroll’s squad.

He shone in pre-season and impressed in Bulls’ 1895 Cup and Challenge Cup openers, against Dewbury and North Wales respectively, in early February, but has been absent through injury since.

But he could be in line to make his maiden league appearance for Bulls at Post Office Road, with his return a welcome addition given loanee Max Wood is needed by parent club Warrington this for their game tonight at Leeds in Super League.

Speaking of Super League, and Rogers is back at Odsal from top-flight club Huddersfield.

The Giants lent the prop to Bulls for the 2023 season, and he has returned on a short-term loan deal.

Rogers was arrested last week after being charged with drink driving and he was bailed in relation to an [alleged] assault of an emergency worker.

After initially being suspended by Huddersfield last Friday, they revoked that ban last night after taking internal disciplinary action, and sent him out on this loan.

Rogers is due in Tameside Magistrates Court on Thursday, May 16 over the incident.

Otherwise, the injury that forced Kieran Gill last time out against Halifax has not proved too serious, and he remains in the squad to face Featherstone.

Billy Jowitt and Dom Waites are both named in the 21-man squad, while along with Wood, Mackenzie Scurr and Lucas Green both make way.

Injury forced club captain Michael Lawrence to miss out against Halifax, and he is due to see a specialist this week to determine the extent of any damage, ruling him out of this game at Featherstone too as a result.

The full 21-man squad is as follows:
