Kevin Appo is a weapon with the ball. I've only seen bits of Mitch Souter at hooker but he seems to have it all - bit of a poor man's Harry Grant. Forwards are solid but nothing to worry about. Their weak spot is their backline.
Davies is suspended. They're also missing Ebon Scurr, who is a dangerous imapct forward off the bench, and Eribe Doro, plus 2 or 3 long-term injured players.
Bradford's backline is average as mentioned and if Gaskell is not on one of his going days they don't have much creativity. They aren't a bad team but seem to have a particular issue with discipline and tend to concede lots of penalties, 6 agains etc. Looking at their squad tonight I would think Wakefield should win fairly comfortably.
