Preview: Bradford v
Warrington (Round 8)

Former Bradford forward Rob Parker insists Warrington can beat the engage Super League champions at their own game on Saturday.

The 24-year-old Parker, returning to Odsal for the first time since his close-season move across the Pennines, acknowledges the strength of the Bulls pack but says the Wolves will be fighting fire with fire.

?A team like Bradford have few weaknesses but, if anything, their physical strength can actually be their weakness,? he said.

?The Bulls often try to overpower teams early and we are well aware we need to win the arm wrestle early in the game.

?I think Harlequins gave a good example of what you can do at Odsal if you mix it up.

?They don?t necessarily like it when sides take the fight to them and show off their own strength.?

Parker was in the Bulls side that lost both home and away to Warrington last season but will be one of five ex-Bradford players in the Wolves line-up.

Second rower Logan Swann, centre Toa Kohe-Love, full-back or winger Stuart Reardon and scrum-half Chris Bridge are the other Bradford old boys with points to prove.

The Bulls, unbeaten at Odsal since last June, overpowered the Hull pack a week ago to give half-backs Iestyn Harris and Paul Deacon the space to carve out an impressive victory and coach Brian Noble is calling for another big effort from his forwards.

?The Warrington forwards are very strong, with Wood, Leikvoll, Lima and Parker taking them forward,? he said.

?Westwood goes well for them, as does Logan Swann.

?They have choices at hooker with Sullivan, Clarke or Mark Gleeson, so their pack is very strong, quick and with a lot of options.

?The Odsal pitch will be very heavy again so we will need to be strong in the forwards.?
