COUGARS head coach Craig Lingard has announced a 22-man squad to face Bradford Bulls on Sunday in the Joe Phillips Memorial Trophy.
Matthew Bailey, Sean Hesketh and Nathan Kitson come back in after they were rested in Keighley's defeat at Batley last Sunday.

Ritchie Hawkyard returns following illness while former Bull Adam Brook is rested after featuring in all three pre-season games to date.
Cougars squad: Andy Gabriel, Josh Casey, Davey Dixon, Matty Beharrell, Scott Law, James Feather, Sean Hesketh, Brendon Rawlins, Mike Emmett, Neil Cherryholme, Will Milner, Nathan Conroy, Josh Tonks, Matthew Bailey, Nathan Kitson, Emmerson Whittel, Ritchie Hawkyard, Fran Welsh, Liam Darville, Vinny Finigan, Brad Nicholson, Adam Ryder.
