It won't be easy against a Billingham side who have taken advantage of the firm pitches to run in plenty of tries from their lively backs.
They scored more than forty points in both their home games, against Rossendale and Bradford & Bingley, but have yet to win away. They lost the first gakme of the season at much fancied Harrogate and lost by only one point at Penrith.
The visitors will be without Chris Hyndman, their highly influential player coach, who was injured in last week's win. Former Westie Will Turnbulll moves in off the wing to take his place.
The West coahces will be looking to build on the positives whioch were in evidence at last week's big defeat at Sandal. For much of the time the West pack held its own, and this week will see Stew Grazier starting after recovering from a back injury.
Young Nathan Myers is the man to step aside after successully coming through his baptism of fire in the National Leagues. He'll be on the bench alongside Andew Dixon and Andrew Foreman who is also on the way back from a groin strain.
The backs will have to improve their defence. Luke Watson is a major influence on the pitch and returns at centre,while Stu Waities returns sooner than expected follwoing his knee injury at Chester. He will partner Ryan Painter at half back - one of the few bright spots last week.
David Heckles is also back. He made an impressive start to the season from full back and then filled in admirably at fly half against Percy Park. He'll be wearing his favoured 15 shirt this week.
