Martin Todd is still missing because of work and, if Phil isn't fit, Andrew Hare may be the man to takeover the 15 shirt.
Chocky is still not completeley match fit after also recovering from a very nasty ankle injury but may well figure at some stage. With the second row going so well it could be that his first run out on his return is as a back row replacement. In either case its nice to have pressure for places.
Morpeth have been this season's enigmas. We felt they were the best rugby side in the league last season and have only lost a couple of players from that squad. One or two Rovers men admit they were fortunate to beat the Northumbrians at the Friarage, and a glance at their home fixtures shows they've had to play the likes of Westoe, Huddersfield and Alnwick - a difficult start to the season to say the least.
Their away games have been at Redcar, Stockton and Sandal where you would have normally expected them to pick up a few points but strangely they haven't.
