The Salford captain, Bobbie Goulding, is back in the fold at The Willows after a disciplinary hearing into a punch-up with a team-mate.

The scrum-half spent two weeks under suspension at the club and was not selected for the last three Super League games, following a training ground flare-up with Graham Holroyd, and looked set at one stage to move to Warrington. But he has now been given the all-clear and will be available for selection in Salford's next match, against Bradford on 23 June. "I'm glad to have him back because he is an international player," said Salford's new coach Karl Harrison. "If he mucks about again he's out and he knows it."

The Great Britain coach, David Waite, has confirmed that the Bradford loose forward, Mike Forshaw, will be considered for the Test in Australia next month, despite pulling out of Lancashire's squad for the Origin Series with a neck injury.

The Warrington prop, Mark Hilton, replaces Forshaw in the Lancashire squad for the games against Yorkshire this Friday and next Tuesday

Yorkshire will be without the Hull prop, Garreth Carvell, who has a leg injury. His place is taken by the Bradford back-rower, Lee Radford.

The London Broncos' coach, Tony Rea, has submitted an official complaint to the Rugby League over the refereeing of Robert Connolly in the weekend's game against Bradford.Rea claimed that Connolly had been "got at" by the Bulls at half-time, with the Broncos losing 22-12 and a penalty count of 14-3 against them.
