St Helens will be hoping it’s a case of third time lucky at the Stobart Stadium when they take on Bradford on Friday night.\n<\/p>\n

Saints are yet to register a ‘home’ win so far in the 2011 season, having lost to both Warrington and Harlequins at their temporary base in Widnes.<\/p>\n

However Royce Simmons’ side have found life much easier on the road, with their 30-16 triumph over Leeds last weekend giving them a third straight success on their travels.<\/p>\n

Now they will be bidding to break their duck in Halton against a team coached by their former boss.<\/p>\n

Mick Potter spent two seasons at the helm of St Helens but was unable to pick up any silverware during his time in charge, losing two Grand Finals. <\/p>\n

“I am looking forward to catching up with a few people but apart from that it’s not a big deal for me,” said the Australian, who signed a three-year deal with the Bulls after originally planning to return Down Under.<\/p>\n

Moore suspended<\/h4>\n

Saints hooker Scott Moore is ruled out after failing with his appeal against a one-match ban for a dangerous tackle on Leeds captain Kevin Sinfield. <\/p>\n

Paul Clough also missing but Sia Soliola and Jon Wilkin are back from injury and included in Simmons’ 19-man squad. It is hoped forwards Josh Perry and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook will be fit to feature.<\/p>\n

Bradford<\/b>, meanwhile, have Chev Walker available again, although Potter admits he may stick with the same line-up that defeated Yorkshire Castleford last Sunday at Odsal Stadium.<\/p>\n

“Chev is available but we may not be able to find a spot for him,” the Bulls boss told the club’s official website. <\/p>\n

“When you are coming off the back of a win it’s hard to make changes. It’s a close thing. We did some really good stuff and some not so good stuff but is it enough to make the change? <\/p>\n

“It’s a discussion we’ll have later but it’s a good position to be in. Sometimes you have plenty to choose from and sometimes you don’t, so it’s swings and roundabouts.” <\/p>\n

The visitors are still without Gareth Raynor (hamstring) and Ian Sibbit(abductor), who both picked up injuries in the 50-16 reverse at Huddersfield.<\/p>\n

St Helens squad:<\/b> Wellens, Gardner, Shenton, Soliola, Meli, Perry, Roby, Graham, Puletua, Wilkin, Flannery, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Wheeler, Ashurst, Lomax, Magennis, Foster, Gaskell, Dixon.<\/p>\n

Bradford squad:<\/b> Ainscough, Ah Van, Briggs, Diskin, Elima, Hargreaves, Herbert, Kearney, Kopczak, Langley, L’Estrange, Lynch, Olbison, Platt, Royston, Scruton, Sykes, Walker, Whitehead.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
