Brian Noble is hopeful that a trio of Bulls players will be fit for Saturday's crucial clash with fifth-placed Hull.

Danny Gartner (calf), Lesley Vainikolo (knee) and Scott Naylor (knee) all failed to train yesterday, but are expected to be fit for the showdown.

Karl Pratt could also make a possible return against Hull, however Noble said: "Karl will practice tomorrow but the reality is I think he will still be out."

Leon Pryce, Robbie Paul and Michael Withers will all be absent.
