Kyle Briggs and Chev Walker have been named in Mick Potter's Squad for Sunday's game at home to Crusaders.

Walker has not played since breaking his foot in the Challenge Cup Tie at Halifax in May whilst Briggs has had a broken hand and a Hernia Operation. Nick Scruton and Marc Herbert are unavailable for the season whilst Shad Royston has an elbow injury.

The Squad in full is:

Addy, Ah Van, Bateman, Briggs, Burgess, Donaldson, Elima, Hargreaves, Jeffries, Kearney, Kopczak, Langley, Lynch, O'Brien, Platt, Raynor, Royston, Sibbit, Walker

Andy Bracek is in line to make his Crusaders debut in their penultimate match of Super League when they take on Bradford Bulls this Sunday at Odsal (kick-off 3pm).
The former St Helens, Warrington Wolves and Barrow Raiders back row forward, who has won three caps for Wales, was signed by Iestyn Harris earlier this season.

Michael Witt and Hep Cahill, who played in the last game against Hull FC, miss out this time through injuries. Mark Bryant, Jason Chan and Paul Johnson are in line for possible returns.

SQUAD: Clinton Schifcofske, Tony Martin, Vince Mellars, Stuart Reardon, Ryan O'Hara, Lincoln Withers, Mark Bryant, Jason Chan, Frank Winterstein, Jordan James, Ben Flower, Elliot Kear, Lloyd White, Paul Johnson, Richard Moore, Peter Lupton, Lee Williams, Jordan Tansey, Andy Bracek.

Hopefully Bateman will play on Sunday, Royston isn't in the squad.

A bit disappointed with the squad.

Two changes, both forced by injury, doesn't seem like there's much experimentation - even though we've absolutely nothing to play for other than prove.

I'll be seriously annoyed if we find out that Ah Van got chosen over a fit-again Ainscough. I'll be charitable and suggest Ainscough isn't quite ready, because I see no other good reason to be playing Ah Van.

agreed, I would have liked to have seen Ainscough play although he will be here next season so no point in risking him?

My Team:

Kearney
Sykes
Platt
Walker
Raynor
Briggs
Jeffries
Kopczak
Addy
Lynch
Elima
Langley
Hargreaves

O'Brien
Bateman
Donaldson
Burgess

Well all these will be with us next year so might as well play them as well as giving the younger ones a chance Plus Sykes didn't do bad on the wing last time. Him or Briggs can kick for goal And the Briggs/Jeffries partnership worked well last time

It's going to be interesting to see if Sammut will be allowed to play tomorrow.

I don't know how long he was on the field for Malta, but two games in a weekend after coming back from injury doesn't sound ideal on the face of it. Cru have no need to be bothered though so they may well just play him anyway. At least he has a long rest coming up shortly.

Result from Hamrun:

Malta 58-24 Norway

It was locked up at 24-24 all at half time before the home side ran away with it and Sammut grabbing a brace.

He's due back in the UK later today and wouldn't be shocked to see Harris play himoff the bench if he's able to back up within 48 hours.

Yeah, he'll probably be on the bench

With all due respect to the mighty of Norway's national team, it was probably little more than a training run for Sammut. I mean its hardly like backing up after England vs Exiles is it?

Sammut is not in the squad for Sunday. We have our two first choice half backs out injured. Lloyd and Tansey will have to play out of postion because our fourth choice half, Sammut has gone awol and left us in the lurch when we finaly need him to play.

He's playing tomorrow so don't worry and the fact that he didn't get named in the initial 19 man squad is really irrelevant when you think back to what happend eariler on in the season with St Helens and Leeds.

To be fair, Sammut's best game performance in a Crusaders shirt was when he got of an epic extended long haul flight from Australia via Singapore and straight onto a coach to Edinburgh.

It's an odd pick to include Ah Van over Ainscough. Have to agree that it has to be down to Ainscough not being quite fit to warrant selection. However, given Ah Van is meant to be carrying an injury from the Wigan game, you have to wonder.
