Jamie Connolly also returns after his wine fuelled sojourn to Chile and Allan Milne is fit enough after his hamstring strain to resume alongside the Kiwi.

Huddersfield have one of the widest [and longest] pitches in the country and a lot will be down to wingers Tommy Barff and Darren Thomas.

Dash returns to the wing with Davy Tighe being passed fit after recovering from his shoulder injury against Cleckheaton.

He'll line up alongside John Stabler. This will be Stabs's last league game as coach and fiittingly it is also his 100th. But will it be his last game as a player? Probably not because, while his 40 year old knees could do with a rest this summer, he has shown that his rugby brain and kicking ability are as good as ever.

John has already told new coach Rod Maclure that he will still be around to help the club in any way he can next season - and that's an offer which will be gratefully accepted.

But tomorrow will be Stabs's swansong as a coach and for that reason alone it will be a big occasion.

Stabs said today: "I'm looking forward to it. The lads have been buzzing in training and they know that a win could do the club a power of good.

"We've come through a lot together and I'd like to thank them for what they have done for the club."

Further spice is added by the fact that the side which wins stands a better chance of avoiding relegation. We won't know until after the play-offs at the end of the month and it all depends on movement above us into National Leagues in the North and Midlands.

All we can do is beat a Huddersfield side who have struggled since coming up into North One despite having a superb set up at Lockwood Road.

Indiscipline cost us a 13-3 defeat to Huddersfield at Brinkburn but since then we have steadily improved and fully deserved our big victories against Cleckheaton and Chester.

The pack is working hard as a unit and providing more than decent ball to a highly determined Allan Milne and a resurgent Jamie Connolly.

We are more than capable of winning and guiving Stabs a send off he richly deserves.
