Stuart Fielden is calling on old adversary Barrie McDermott to clean up his act for their Battle of the Props.

The Great Britain team-mates are set to lock horns again as the Rhinos enforcer returns from a four-match suspension for the vital Friday clash at Headingley.

And Fielden is hoping for a fair contest this time around, with no repeat of the incident that left the Bulls' enforcer with a black eye and Leeds with just 12 men.

The Rhinos' hard man was shown a first-half red card for the assault on Fielden after an earlier head-butt had gone unpunished, leading to the ban.

"This time I hope we have a fair contest," said Fielden, who insists there is no feud between the two.

"I am glad Barrie is back. He is one of the best props in the world, and certainly one of the best in this country - and I like to play against the best.

"But this time I want a fair contest. He can throw me around, smash into me, whatever, I have no qualms about that. That is rugby league, if you don't like it you can go and play ping-pong.

"But I don't want any cheap shots, I want both teams to finish with 13-men and have a fair contest.

"It is going to be a bruising battle and that is fine, there is a lot at stake for both sides."

Fielden was fuming after the two last clashed and admitted he has to temper his own behaviour on the field.

"I would never throw the first punch," he added.

"But I do have a tendency to retaliate to cheap shots and that is something I have to work on in my game.

"Barrie has always done something to me in all our previous games, and that is a fact if you look at the videos, but hopefully this time the sparks can fly fairly this time."

McDermott, who admits to being "very frustrated" by his enforced stint on the sidelines, has used the four weeks as a mini pre-season.

"I can't wait to get back into it," said McDermott, who steadfastly refused to discuss the Fielden incident.

"There is no team I would rather make my comeback against than Bradford.

"There is without doubt an enormous, but friendly, rivalry between the two sides and this game means a lot to both sides and both sets of supporters.

"It should be a very intense match but I don't want to talk about any individuals in the Bradford team."
