Once again we will take to the pitch with a much changed side. This time it's not injuries which are the problem with Andrew Foreman, Anth Carr, Jonny Boatman and Scott Butcher all unavailable because of various other commitments.
As a result Steve Jones comes in on the wing with Greg Edwards providing cover in the backs. Andrew Rollins moves across to prop with Andy Dixon at hooker, and Nathan Myers starting in the back row after his impressive try scoring stint from the bench last week.
What's needed is as a win so that confidence can be restored. We were one conversion away from beating Peter Evans and his Billingham teammates last week, and did win the try scoring stakes by three to two.
Sadly, we only earned one point and remain second bottom. It's early in the season, but we don't want a gap to build so the October games against Burnage and Harrogate [away] and Kendal and Bradford and Bingley [home] will be crucial.
The squad trained for the first time this season on 3G with an excellent turn out last night at Dyke House.
