THE Bulls have been handed a tough start to the 2024 Championship season with an away trip to Wakefield.

The revamped Be Well Support Stadium awaits Eamon O’Carroll and his men for the season-opener on Friday, March 15.

It will be Wakefield’s first game outside the top flight for 25 years after they were relegated from Super League last year.

Bulls then host Halifax in their opening home clash before facing Featherstone and Toulouse in a demanding introduction to the campaign.

The regular season, which starts later to accommodate the switch to the group set-up in the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup, finishes with Swinton’s visit to Odsal on September 29.
