Only Andy Lynch, Chris Nero and Paul Sykes are missing through injury and Danny Addy, Tom Olbison, Steve Crossley and Cain Southernwood are all in the squad with only Olbison having played a First Team game previously.

The 19 man squad is:

Crookes, Halley, L'Estrange, Hall, Scruton, Sheriffe, Crossley, Langley, Kopczak, Olbison, Menzies, Kearney, Godwin, Southernwood, Addy, Platt, Whitehead, Worrincy, Orford.

The game is at the Tetley's Stadium and kicks off at 15:20.

No Donaldson then? Not said to be injured.

No Reardon.. what's going on with him?

He's injured I believe.

Edit : this is what I think we'll put out, not what I would like :

Kearney
Sheriffe
Platt
Crookes
Halley
Addy/Southernwood/Beaver(if not rested)
Orford
Scruton
L'Estrange
Kopzcak
Whitehead
Langley
Worrincy/Addy

Southernwood and Worrincy to miss for me although I wouldnt back Worrincy to miss.

swap olbison and worrincy and I think you've got likely team. Although I wouldnt be surprised if menzies and orford are only being named as mind games and olbison and southernwood replace them. Seems a bit strange to name both addy and southernwood in squad if we arent planning on using them.

Given the glowing report Southernwood got from the Cas game I'd be surprised if he didn't get a go.

that was my thinking. Orford named for mind games then drops out in favour of southernwood. if Addy and Southernwood isnt working we always have option of moving Kearney up into halves with Halley dropping to FB and Crookes moving to wing. If Addy and Southernwood do perform at 1st team level then we can have a bit more confidence about having backup for halves in case of injury.

I think it'll be more like this:

Platt
Sheriffe
Menzies
Crookes
Halley
Kearney
Orford
Scruton
L'Strange
Kopczak
Whitehead
Hall
Langley

Godwin
Crossley
Olbison
Worrincy

McNamara views platt as a centre now, i'd be very surprised if he shifts him to fb.

If you're right I reckon Platt to centre, Halley to FB and Crookes on the wing.

Can't see a new halfback starting the game. Possibly one on the bench but think McNamara will play safe.

Anyone know what's up with Donaldson?

suspect your right, southernwood on bench coming on for orford once we're well ahead?.

don't think there's any injury issue with donaldson. Macca seems to like giving him a rest every few games.
