Simon Finnigan has made two changes to the 17-man squad for today’s Betfred Championship clash with Sheffield Eagles (kick-off 3pm).
Owen Farnworth and Matt Cook have picked up knocks so miss out on this afternoon’s fixture, with Ollie Brookes and Brad O’Neill coming in to take their places.
Brookes is set to make his competitive debut for the Vikings this afternoon after winning Try of the Season last year for an effort in a friendly game against Rochdale Hornets.
