Even hooker Andy Ackers is out, highlighting the club\u2019s lack of spine players.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Willie Peters makes just one change as Oliver Gildart drops out after sustaining an injury with back-rower Tom Whitehead the man to replace him.<\/p>\n<p>Bradford Bulls 19-man squad: Caleb Aekins, Chris Atkin, Cam Bate, Ed Chamberlain, Brandon Douglas, Zac Fulton, Will Gardiner, Jamie Gill, Sam Hallas, Alfie Leake, Loghan Lewis, Jack Ormondroyd, Eliot Peposhi, Leon Ruan, Dan Russell, Ethan Ryan, Mitch Souter, Harvey Ward, Connor Wynne<\/p>\n<p>Hull KR 21-man squad: Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Joe Burgess, Mikey Lewis, Tyrone May, Sauaso Sue, Jez Litten, Tom Amone, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella, Jack Broadbent, Jai Whitbread, Sam Luckley, Rhyse Martin, Jack Brown, Karl Lawton, Jordan Dezaria, Noah Booth, Bill Leyland, Tom Whitehead<\/p>\n<p>St Helens versus Wakefield Trinity<\/p>\n<p>Paul Rowley has made two changes to his 21-man squad with Shane Wright back available after going through HIA protocols, whilst Nene Macdonald is also named in a major boost to the club\u2019s outside backs.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a timely return as Deon Cross drops out having failed a HIA.
