BRADFORD Bulls have made a decisive call in the halves ahead of this Sunday’s Betfred Championship play-off eliminator clash at home to Featherstone Rovers.
Lee Gaskell is absent from the 21-man squad altogether, meaning Jarrod Sammut will play at stand off alongside scrum half Jordan Lilley.
That was the partnership that was reunited at Odsal last weekend, where Bulls beat Swinton 50-0 to condemn the Lions to a promotion/relegation play-off against either Keighley Cougars or Hunslet from League 1.
Jorge Taufua is back from his two-game ban, while Michael Lawrence and Jayden Okunbor are near certainties to start having been rested last weekend.
Keven Appo should also take his place back in the matchday 17 after a week off.
Zac Fulton has also seemingly recovered from the knock that forced him off against Swinton.

Bulls know a win this Sunday puts them into a guaranteed play-off semi-final away to Toulouse Olympique next Sunday.
If Featherstone win, they will travel to face league leaders Wakefield Trinity in the last-four, as they finished as the lowest-ranked team in play-offs.
That means the winner of tomorrow’s eliminator between York Knights and Widnes Vikings would be heading to Toulouse instead.
