Bradford & Bingley Preview

Bradford & Bingley Preview
Jonny Boatman has been coaxed out of retirement again and will be at inside centre against Bradford and Bingley. However, brother Danny will be missing from the line-up ...

The first team skipper team skipper is in Dubai so Stu Waites leads the side from full back for the second week in a row. 

Top try scorer Sam Miller returns to the starting line up to take Dan's place - otherwise the pack is the same as the one which last week held its own in most phases against high flying Percy Park.

The only other change is on the wing where Luke Mallinson is available again and he comes in for young Kyle Jamieson.

Once again it's a versatile bench with Jack Angus providing front row cover, Liam Bailey covering the back row and Andrew Foreman the backs.

They'll take on a Bees side which has done fairly well at home but struggled on the road. They've won  four games out of 12 and managed a 21-21 draw at Northern.

However, the Bees have managed six bonus points so far including  four try scoring points and, as a result, are just three points behind us in tenth place.

This is the last game of the first half of the season, and both sides will be looking to start the second half having opened up some distance from the bottom three - Driffield currently occupying thrid bottom place with 20 points.

West: Stu Waites (capt), Scott Butcher, Peter Youll, Jon Boatman, Luke Mallinson, Zac Southern, Ryan Painter, Ross Wood, Andrew Rollins, Adam Coates, Joe Rafferty, Jay Corbett, Jordan Baggs, Chris Atkins, Sam Miller. Reps: Jack Angus, Liam, Bailey, Andrew Foreman.

Bees: Adam Mitchell, Alex Hamard, Harry Hall, Josh Seal, Adam Wellington, Shaun Driver, Richard Scull, Ryan Wederell, Matt Cochrane, Simon Hill, Harry Jeffrey, Brett Mitchell (capt), Luke Peacock, Chris Fisher, Tom Cokell. Reps: Andy Smith, Dave Barden, Dan Cookson.

Good luck to all today!! WEST bonus point win will most probably put us in 7th spot and is needed as league seems to be splitting into two. Will follow the game from Dubai Sevens as it comes to a close!!
