Brett Cullinane could return after his lengthy absence with a knee ligament injury but that will depend on his reaction to a light training session last night.
In the backs Peter Hodgson was sent to hospital instead of onto the training pitch last night - after Gez took one look at a nasty knock he received at Driffield.
Davy Tighe and Dan Abraham were already missing so its very much a case of waiting until Saturday morning before patching a side together.
Paul Rudd had already been pencilled in to start on the wing in place of Dan but now he may be needed in the second row with either Henry Tones or Stuart Bennett called into front row duty.
What is pretty certain is that Thomas and Wallis will be at half back with Martin Todd resuming at full back.
Its hardly ideal preparation for a game we need to win to expunge last week's nightmare at Driffield. We narrowly beat Sandal at Brinkburn a couple of weeks ago but, like us, they perform much better on home soil.
