Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Bulls and Rhinos square up again Old Trafford Saturday, 15 October Kick-off: 1800 BST Live on Radio Five and this website; highlights on Sunday Grandstand Chris McKenna seems certain to replace injured centre Keith Senior in the Leeds side for Saturday's engage Super League Grand Final against Bradford. The Rhinos are full strength otherwise, with prop Barrie McDermott making his last club appearance before retirement. The Bulls, who have won their last 11 matches, are only missing winger Stuart Reardon, who is also injured. Jamie Peacock leads the side out at Old Trafford in his last game for the Bulls before his move to Leeds. "I want to finish on as high a note as possible" Bradford captain Jamie Peacock Peacock is not the only player leaving Odsal at the end of the season. Leon Pryce has signed for St Helens, Lee Radford is joining Hull while Reardon will move to Warrington. Robbie Paul could also be making his final appearance for Bradford after being linked with a switch to Huddersfield. Peacock is hoping to finish his Bulls career on a high with victory in front of a sell-out crowd after being criticised in recent weeks by some sections of the Bradford faithful. "I can understand why they would want to boo me but I would say that, for every one of them, there's been maybe 10 or 20 people who have come up to me and thanked me for what I've done for Bradford," said the Bulls skipper. "The last four weeks have been emotional for me and for the other players who are leaving because you never knew which game was going to be the last one. "Finally, now I know that this will be my last one for Bradford and I want to finish on as high a note as possible." Great Britain international and former Leeds star Adrian Morley will also conclude his short-term contract and return to Sydney Roosters in the NRL. Leeds are also waving farewell to a number of players. McDermott is retiring, McKenna is joining Bradford, Mark Calderwood has agreed a move to Wigan while Marcus Bai and Andrew Dunemann are also heading for the exit. Captain Kevin Sinfield told BBC Sport that he expects a close game at Old Trafford. "We need to take any emotion and sentimentality out of the game and stay focused on our game-plan if we are to retain our trophy by beating the Bulls," he said. "We are more than ready for the game after putting in our best defensive display of the season against St Helens in the semi-final. "Both teams possess a lot of quality, so I'm expecting a very tight encounter." Bradford: Vainikolo, Deacon, Morley, Fielden, I. Harris, Withers, Johnson, Lynch, B. Harris, L. Pryce, Peacock, Paul, Vagana, Langley, Hape, Meyers, Radford, Henderson. Leeds: Mathers, Calderwood, Walker, Bai, McGuire, Burrow, Bailey, Diskin, McDermott, Lauitiiti, McKenna, Sinfield, Dunemann, Ward, Poching, Jones-Buchanan, Smith, Ellis. Referee: A Klein (London). Looking forward to this, should be an excellent game. Leeds have stumbled to the line while Bradford have won eleven on the trot. But will this be one game too far? I hope not, BULL POWER! Also an unusual situation as Bradford captain Jamie Peacock is joining Leeds after this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
