The pack has been playing well in recent weeks, with Carl Miller and Phil Henderson excellent in the line-out, so it may be that Chocky's future lies in the back row where competition for places is becoming intense.
Tim Sawyer will also soon be added to the list of fit back rows as its unlikely his shoulder problem will allow him the alternative of playing hooker.
Anth Carr has been training at hooker, and played at 2 for part of the Stags game against Old Boys last week, and to have all the attributes, including a good throw.
Anth will also have to be content with starting on the bench as the starting front row will be Cholmondeley, Cullinane and Phillips.
The side will be the same as the one which rattled Huddersfield but couldn't turn possession into points. Phil Wallis is fit to resume as stand-in full back with Martin Todd still away on a course.
Morpeth may be bottom of the league but nobody expects them to stay there for long. They were one of the class acts last season. They lost outstanding fly half Toby Flood, who returned to Falcons, but gained Jinks from Northern and he has been their star man in recent weeks.
It has to be said that on paper we are Morpeth's "easiest" home opposition so far this season. Previous visitors have been Huddersfield, Alwnick and Westoe.
Strangley Morpeth haven't been able to pick up any points on their travels which saw them lose to Rovers, Rddcar, Stockton and Sandal.
West: Wallis, P Miller, Gamwell, Hodgson, Hare, Tighe, Thomas, Cholmondeley, Cullinane, Phillips, C Miller, Henderson, J Boatman, Tones, Bennett [capt]. Reps: Carr, Davies, Abrahams.
