Bradford Bulls v Warrington Wolves
Warrington Wolves travel to Odsal Stadium to face World Club Champions Bradford Bulls in search of there 3rd straight league victory over the Yorkshire men. In 2004, Warrington did eventually win in Bradford for the first time since 1993, with a stunning second half fight back setting the Wolves on the way to the emphatic 44-24 victory. However, Bradford do hold the upper hand on Warrington in the Super League era winning no less then 17 of the 25 matches against the Wolves, which inlcuded several Challange Cup wins for the Bulls.
Warrington Wolves could have upto 5 ex-Bulls players in there squad on Saturday, which should include Chris Bridge, Logan Swann, Rob Parker, Toa Kohe-Love and Staurt Reardon, and the Bulls should have former Wolf Iestyn Harris in there squad, which will no doubt add extra spice to the clash.
Over 2,000 Warrington Wolves supporters are expected to make the short journey across the pennines to Odsal Stadium on Saturday, and here is are some useful links for the match.
