Kingstone Press Championship preview: Bradford Bulls v Workington

Correspondent

Workington were beaten 74-6 at Bradford in the Challenge Cup last week but coach Phil Veivers is expecting a better performance from his team.

“It’s been very tough,” he said. “We were pretty physically wrecked last time out coming off the back of three games, so having a week to recover, we’ll be more energised.

“We’ll have a couple of fresh bodies which should help us a little bit but Bradford are a good team. They did a number on us in the Challenge Cup but I’m pretty sure we’ll go there in a better frame of mind.”

Veivers is expecting to have prop Marc Shackley and wing Sam Forrester back.
