Uncapped Bradford Bulls forwards Paul Anderson and Stuart Fielden have been called into the Great Britain and Ireland training squad for the Tri-Nations Series against Australia and New Zealand later this year.

They join Odsal colleagues Paul Deacon, Mike Forshaw and James Lowes.

But there is no place at this stage for full-back Stuart Spruce who has been in fine fine form this season.

The selection of Anderson is especially pleasing as he missed virtually the whole of last season after knee ligament damage left him needing a reconstruction.

After a lengthy rehabilitation he was back in action at the start of the season and has caught the eye with his damaging charges.

Fellow Odsal prop Stuart Fielden has also been rewarded for a string of bustling performances while Deacon has continued to impress this term despite his chances being limited by the presence of the Paul brothers in the squad.

Forshaw keeps his place after facing the Kiwis last Autumn while Lowes is back in favour after a return to his best form this term.

Also selected is Leeds Rhinos' Wembley hero Leroy Rivett, the first man to score four tries in a Challenge Cup final.

Leicester-born Rivett is one of eight uncapped players named in a 35-strong squad from which coach Andy Goodway will select a 23-man party for the Autumn triangular tournament Down Under.

Meanwhile the Bulls Academy side remain on top of the league after a 78-4 rout of Salford.
