Scott Wheeldon: Set for his Broncos debut

London Broncos coach Rob Powell will hand a debut to new signing Scott Wheeldon for the visit of Bradford at Leyton Orient.

Wheeldon is likely to go straight into the starting line-up in place of Karl Temata, who is ruled out with a back spasm.

Jason Golden is absent with a sore neck and ribs and Julien Rinaldi continues his recovery from ankle ligament damage, while Tony Clubb remains sidelined with a groin injury.

"We need to continue to build on our home form when we showcase rugby league in Leyton on Sunday," said Powell.

"Scott Wheeldon comes straight into the squad after settling in well this week.

"We need to display the same tough attitude to the game as we did last week at Batley."

Bradford are able to welcome back winger Elliott Kear, who has missed the last nine matches with a broken hand.

Chev Walker and Tom Olbison are also in contention but centre Adrian Purtell is out with a hamstring injury while second rower John Bateman begins a three-match ban.

London: Bailey, B. Bolger, Bryant, Channing, Cook, Dixon, Dorn, Gower, Howell, Kaufusi, Krasniqi, Melling, O'Callaghan, Randall, Rodney, Robertson, Sarginson, Wheeldon, Witt.

Bradford: Kear, Diskin, Lulia, Whitehead, C. Walker, Burgess, Jeffries, Addy, Hargreaves, Kopczak, L'Estrange, Pryce, Platt, Langley, Gale, Ainscough, Olbison, Elima, Manuokafoa.
