Bradford's injury woes deepen: Hooley and Mellor 50/50 for Leigh, Steinwede out on HIA protocol

Bradford Bulls travel to Leigh Leopards on Friday with a depleted squad. Full-back Luke Hooley (knee) and half-back Joe Mellor are both 50/50 to feature, per coach Kurt Haggerty. Forward Phoenix Steinwede is ruled out after failing a head injury assessment — Rugby League's concussion protocol, which imposes a minimum stand-down period. Centre Waqa Blake and hooker Ebon Scurr return from knee and illness respectively.
