Hull KR winger Liam Colbon is viewing tomorrow night's clash with the Bulls as if it were the first game of the season.
Colbon has been out for four-and-a-half months after wretched luck with injuries.
After recovering from a broken jaw suffered against Catalans in March, he tore medial knee ligaments in training – keeping him out for Rovers’ last 15 games.
“The way to approach this game is to treat it like it’s the first game of the season,” said Colbon.
“Four-and-a-half months out is like having a mini pre-season.
“It’s been hard watching the team and I’m glad to be back to help the team out.
“Hopefully I can give them a bit of a boost and push us towards the play-offs.”
Colbon could slot straight back in on the wing, with 20-year-old Sam Latus shifting to centre in place of the suspended Ben Cockayne.
The Robins are also hoping to welcome back skipper Mick Vella to bolster their pack for the visit of Bradford.
Vella pulled out of last week’s Hull derby at the last minute with a rib injury and was missed as his side lost 20-16.
