BRADFORD BULLS are able to name only a 19-man squad for Saturday’s trip to Toulouse Olympique.

Their injury troubles deepened in last Friday’s defeat at Leigh Leopards, as a result of which there is no Ethan Ryan (thumb), Dan Russell (head), Zac Fulton (neck) or Joe Keyes (back).

Loghan Lewis is also suspended, leaving Kurt Haggerty to declare he had only 17 players available to face Toulouse.

The bottom-placed Bulls are set to hand a debut to academy outside back Harvey Ward, while fellow youngsters Harvey Duckworth and Riley Gelder have been called up to the squad for the first time.

Sylvain Houles has more consistency of selection, with Louis Grossemy taking the place of Victor Collin in the only change to Toulouse’s side.
