John Kear has named his first 21-man squad of the new Betfred Championship season ahead of Sunday’s trip to York RLFC Knights. 

The Round 1 clash takes place at the LNER Community Stadium, with kick-off at 3pm. 

There are potential competitive debuts for Kyle Amor, Lewis Hatton, Ant Walker and Ryan Millar, while Tom Gilmore could also be set for his first competitive Vikings start since returning to the club during the off-season. 

Danny Craven, Max Roberts, Will Evans and Ollie Brookes remain out through injury.

Owen Farnworth is also not available following the shoulder injury he suffered during last week’s 16-12 defeat to St Helens.
