Finding a berth for Garse may prove more difficult. The pack played superbly well against Horden - specially into the teeth of the second half gale.
Chocky moved back to second row to replace Garse. He is due to face the disciplinary committee on Monday. It follows his sending off after an altercation with the Westoe touch judge in the league game at South Shields.
But there's a big game before then. Team selection will be made after Thursday's training after a poor turnout on Monday night. Tones, Davies and Robinson were unfit while Brett was advised not to train after picking up a wrist injury against Horden. Tim Sawyer is away with England Deaf whil Davy Tighe has a long standing arrangement to watch England beat France in Paris. His fly half berth is up for grabs.
