Will he play this season?

The search for the first Super League win continues on Sunday as the Celtic Crusaders travel to the Grattan Stadium, Odsal to do battle with the Bradford Bulls. The Bulls sit 10th in the Super League table and are nine-points ahead of John Dixon’s men who are still searching for that illusive point in the big league.

Hopes that the Crusaders could welcome back a host of big names have been dashed in the build-up to this trip to Yorkshire.

Reports suggest that star-man Tony Duggan could spend between three and four months on the sidelines with an ankle injury which deals a huge body blow to Cru's hopes for the rest of the campaign.

However, Geraint Davies, Matt Smith and Mark Lennon are all expected to return to the XIII for Cru as they bid to topple a Bulls side that, at times, have been hapless this season.

Bradford go into the game on the back of a Murrayfield win over Wakefield and an incredible away victory at St.Helens - so they've hit time at the wrong time for Cru.

However, the Bulls have also had some terrible results and Cru's support will be boosted by scorelines like the Warrington's 58-22 win at Odsal in April in front of the Sky television cameras. David Solomona, Wayne Godwin, Glenn Morrison, Kieran Hyde and Jason Crookes are all long-term absentees for the Bulls.

I'll be there - hopefully there will be plenty of other Cru fans travelling too! Come on you mighty Saders!

Bulls v. Crusaders - search for first points goes on
