Greenwell
It's not life or death yet but there's no doubt that the encounter in St Helen's will be vitally important in the fight to avoid relegation. Skipper Anth Carr will be missing, because of family commitments, but otherwise it's the side which took on Rovers.

John Greenwell moves across the front row to take Carr's place with Adam Howard moving back to the front row to allow Paul Rudd to come in at No 8.

Peter Hodgson will skipper the side from centre with Luke Watson and Gavin Robinson continuing their hard working partnership at half back.

The pack has been playing well of late and the return to form and fitness of both Boatmans last week, alongside the dynamic Adam Howard, was more than welcome. Turning pressure into points has been the problem and West Park would be a welcome place for the tide to turn.

West Park themselves have had a similar season - also winning at Cleckheaton but managing to avoid any big defeats. It promises to be a hard fouight gamewity a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for the winner.
