Vinny Finigan could be in line to make his Bulls debut in Sunday's clash with Salford at Odsal.
The 20-year-old wing or full back only earned his first selection in a match-day 19 last week but is competing with Stuart Reardon and Dave Halley for a spot in the back three.
A two-game suspension picked up by Paul Sykes makes it likely that Lee St Hilaire will switch Brett Kearney from full back to scrum half for his first game in temporary charge.
The Bulls have lacked guidance from the halves in recent weeks and Kearney could provide experience alongside Danny Addy.
Finigan meanwhile has impressed for the Under-20s this year since making a move to full back, his blistering pace and tricky step contributing to several eye-catching displays.
But Reardon provides strong competition for the No 1 spot.
Despite being deployed exclusively on the wing in Super League this season, Reardon has extensive experience at full back and won the Harry Sunderland Trophy as man of the match while playing there in the 2003 Grand Final.
The former West Bowling star also had a run-out there with the Under-20s last week and appears more likely to be handed the responsibility.
Otherwise, Bradford will remain unchanged from the side that lost 35-18 at Harlequins in Steve McNamara’s final game in charge.
