17 man squad: Swinton Lions

Simon Finnigan has made four changes to his 17 man squad for Sunday’s Betfred Championship clash with Swinton Lions.

Jack Owens returns at fullback after missing last week’s defeat to Batley Bulldogs with an injury, while Jayden Hatton also returns to the starting line-up.

Joe Edge is handed his first start of the campaign, while Calum O’Neill is back from a head injury picked up in the opening game of the season against West Wales Raiders.

Owen Buckley and Lloyd Roby are ruled out due to injury, Danny Craven is serving the first match of a two-game suspension and Eribe Doro has been recalled by his parent club Warrington Wolves.
