Sidlow out for the season
Bradford prop Adam Sidlow has been ruled out for the rest of the season after it was revealed the knee injury he sustained against Wigan will sideline him for 12 weeks.
Sidlow, 25, is to undergo surgery and will miss the remainder of what is his maiden Bulls campaign, after joining from Salford for 2013.
Another close-season signing, Matty Blythe will also be out of action due to injury. The on-loan Warrington centre suffered a similar injury to Sidlow in the Wigan game and he will miss the next four weeks.
There is some good news for Bulls coach Francis Cummins as he will be boosted by the return of Brett Kearney, Jarrod Sammut, Jamie Langley, Chev Walker and Tom Olbison for Friday’s visit of Hull FC.
