Emmitt and Harper to miss out. Emmitt hasn't put a foot wrong but Spencer hasn't either and he hasn't played the last few matches.
4 of our backs are completely new to the club and played no part in pre season and Paterson is a loose forward filling in as a stand off out of necessity. Has Charnock ever played a 1st team match in the halves? Not sure who else could play there.
Not ideal. The forwards need to dominate, that is our biggest strength at the moment. Our forwards battered Bradford all over Odsal for 65 mins last week. We need a repeat performance for 80 on Sunday.
