The result this week is a powerful looking pack. Both Jake Linighan and Will Corbett dropping into the back row and Aidan Jackson-Smith being given free rein to use his mobility on the flank.
Adam Hutchinson is back, after missing the last few games, and he will take Aidan's shirt in the front row alongside the returning Jack Angus and Liam Pennick. The latter looking to repeat his recent Man of the Match performance against Morpeth. Jonny Wray comes into the second row to partner Ollie Webster.
Fewer changes in the backs. The Tennants are still in the USA and Sam Knight is unavailable this week, so 27 year old Kyle Jamieson marks his return to league rugby with a slot alongside Davy Heckles. "JLS" was in the team which took on Penrith in the warm-up game and was one of the stand-out players.
Tim Blades is back to provide front row cover with back-row Jay Anderson also sent to make a first team debut. Matty Baggs provides the cover for the backs.
They'll face a Stockton side which has also seen a lot of chopping and changing and which also has a mix of youth and experience - including four teenagers who have come up from their Colts.
Both teams are on six points having won one of out of the first four games.
With so many players missing from the senior squad there's only one replacementt named, so far, in the Stags squad which travels to Grangefield.
