Chris Atkins has been suspended by the club, following his red card at the end of last week's win over Driffield, and Liam Bailey is working. Joe Rafferty comes in for Atkins and Jay Corbett comes into the back row for Bailey.

In the backs both Luke Mallinson and Kyle Jamieson return, after being unvailable last week, with Mallo on the wing and "JLS" on the bench where Jack Angus returns to provide front row cover alongside Michael Hogan. Eldon Myers (pictured) continues in the centre after his try scoring debut.

Otherwise  it's the same side which had a comfortable afternoon against Driffield last week, with the only regret that, once again, we didn't take the bonus point on offer.

Hopefully, those lost bonus points won't make much difference come the end of the season. We are on 44 points -   only seven points ahead of the last relegation  place with Horden and Old Crocs already just about doomed. Alnwick are in a similar position on 42 points us with Northern, Driffield and Bradford and Bingley also desperate to avoid that relegation place.

Our hosts have a game in hand but it's a tricky one at Rochdale. So it is all to play for with our aim to be away from  the danger zone before our last two games which are both away. The last game is at Sheffield, who may or may not be champions by then, and the penultimate one at  strugglers Bradford and Bingley.

In a very fair match report the Driffield scribe said that it was difficult to understand why we had not won more games. It's a thought shared by a lot of people, but last week we showed that we could make the most of our forward's domination.

Danny Boatman was in superb form,  and he and his pack need to carry that into the next couple of games. To keep matters in our owmn hands we need three more wins from the last six games - only two of which are at home.
