Quote Durham Giant="Durham Giant"You have got to be favourites for this game. Your strength is your pack and we have lost one prop Mason and moved Raleigh from second row to prop for the season. Leaves us with two first choice props Griffin and Crabtree.
Should mean a first start for larne Patrick who again is a converted second row.
If you get a roll on in the forwards we may be in for a beating. If we can hold you it will be a close game.
Partly depends on our discipline and kicking game. If we can nove your pack around and tire them out there will be gaps for Robinson and Lunt ( the Next England hooker)'"
Got to say I was very impressed with Lunt on Firday, it was the first time I have seen him looks a very intelligent player.
Was impressed with both our hookers on Saturday though, Berrigan looked very good, working hard and breaking the line a couple of times, thought Houghton injected some energy and made some good yards when he came on, should be a good battle.
We have to be confident after last night and being at home though, very tight game though.
