Unfortunately, young Sam Miller will be missing after taking a clout to the ribs in an off the ball incident at Kendal last week,so Nathan Myers joins the Boatmans in the back row.

In the backs Zac Southern will be at full back after proving an able repalcement at scrum half last week  - however Ryan Painter is fit to resume in the 9 shirt.

They'll take on the second placed side who put 50 odd points on Rossendale last week as they battle it out with Sandal for the play-off place.

The first fixture between the sides, back in October, saw one of our better performances. We could have got something more out of the game than a losing bonus point if we'd converted pressure in the last ten minutes. As it was we went down 24-17.

Harrogate have continued their steady form all season while injuries and suspensions have taken their toll on West. The drop is looking almost certain with a 20 points gap to safety following last week's defeat at Kendal.

In most phases of that game we were the better side, but the home team played to their strengths on a mudbath  by kicking to the corner and using their hefty props to telling effect.
