Teenagers Craig McDowell, Gareth Stanley and Chris Birchall are in line for senior debuts in Bradford Bulls' final scheduled Super League match at Hull on Sunday.

Stanley and Birchall will form an all Alliance front-row with Gareth Handford who has made just one senior appearance as a substitute at London in July.

Full back Paul Sykes, winger Alex Wilkinson and back-rower Robert Parker are also included as coach Matt-hew Elliott rests a host of senior players ahead of next Friday's crunch play-off clash away to the losers of to-night's clash between St Helens and Wigan at Knowsley Road.

But skipper Robbie Paul is back after a five-match injury absence in place of brother Henry at stand-off.

The young front-row trio have been in outstanding form for the under-21 side as they finished the regular season with five straight wins to reach the Alliance play-offs.

They were in action again at the weekend as the Bulls eased past Wakefield but will be absent for tomorrow's minor semi-final at St Helens when the Bulls will field several Academy players.

"The two young props have been sensational in the last couple of games and they are worthy of a chance to see how they handle the next level," said Elliott.

Hooker Stanley gets his first start in the absence of James Lowes, who misses his first game of the season.

Bulls: Sykes; McAvoy, Brooker, Withers, Pryce; R Paul, Deacon; Handford, Stanley, Birchall, Boyle, Smith, Mackay. Subs: Parker, Wilkinson, Radford, McDowell.
