Simon Finnigan has named his ACS 247 Service & Maintenance 17-man squad to face London Broncos in the Vikings’ 2022 season opener.
Matt Fleming, Olly Davies, Aaron Brown, Tyler Dupree and Liam Bent come in for their potential debuts, while returnees Sam Wilde, Matty Fozard and Ryan Ince could make their first competitive appearance back in black and white.
Lloyd Roby comes into the 13 to start at fullback, with Jack Owens unavailable due to injury. Danny Craven steps in as captain for the first time after 12 years of service to the Vikings and counting.
