NOT DATED. BUT LOOKS LIKE ITS LATE 1940'S OR EARLY 1950'S

Might get shot down but I would say:
Back row: Ward, Gee, Nordgren, F Barton, ? , Hudson,
Middle row: Ryan, Blan(?), Egan, Lawrenson, Cunliffe,
Front: Bradshaw, Mountford

Back, left- right: Ted Ward, Ken Gee, Brian Nordgren, Frank Barton, Les White, Bill Hudson
Middle: Martin Ryan, Billy Blan, Joe Egan, Johnny Lawrenson, Jack Cunliffe
Front: Tommy Bradshaw and Cec Mountford - Possibly Championship semi-final on 24 April 1948 which Bradford won 15-3?

Joe Egan holding the ball was my grandad

I agree with the team listed by Scoles but never thought Lawrenson and Nordgren played together.
The 1948 cup winners would have included Ashcroft Hilton and Ratcliff
