Mike Forshaw is the latest Bulls player to declare himself fit for the new season.

The veteran loose forward was struck down with food poisoning during the warm-weather training camp in Portugal and missed the hit-out at Castleford last Friday.

But Forshaw resumed training this week and looks set to feature in next Sunday's fourth-round Challenge Cup tie against the Warrington Wolves.

"I think it was some steak I ate out there on the last night," said Forshaw, who came out of international retirement to feature in last year's drawn Test series against New Zealand.

"I had some quite bad vomiting and diarrhoea but it seems to have cleared up now."

Forshaw sat alongside coach Brian Noble in the stand for the impressive 44-16 victory at The Jungle last week and is looking forward to getting involved himself.

"I can't wait for the season to get going," he added. "We looked pretty good last week and the new lads seem to be fitting in well and gave good displays.

"I'm training again now and hope to be involved next week."

Karl Pratt, who made his first appearance in a Bulls shirt last week, was also hit by a bug during the trip to Vilamoura but had recovered by the time the players returned to England.

l The Challenge Cup tie at Wilderspool will be shown live on Grandstand (3pm kick-off).
