TEAM NEWS: Titans v Guernsey Raiders

Rotherham Titans continue their league preparations on Saturday with a trip to the Channel Islands to take on National 2 East side Guernsey Raiders; kick-off at Footes Lane is 6pm.

Last week the South Yorkshire side began their pre-season with a fine performance against a lively Leeds outfit, who to be fair made them work hard for their 40 – 7 win.

Nevertheless, Titans impressed by scoring 6 tries as they brushed aside the cobwebs and integrated a number of new players to the squad.

The chance to have a look at more of the squad has been taken by Harvey Biljon, as a raft of changes sees just 4 starters from last week retain their place.

There’s a whole new front row of Charlie Capps, Jack Bergmanas and Andrew Foster, whilst the second row sees John Okafor make his first start of pre-season; he lines up alongside Harry Gilson-Fox who keeps his place.

The back row sees Travis Gordon retain his spot and he is joined by Harry Newborn and Callum Bustin.

Along the backline there’s a new half back combination of Max Green and Rob Povey.

Joe Mounsey starts for the first time in the centres and he is joined by last weeks starting full back Ronnie Du Randt.

The back three sees Jamie Cooke retain his spot and he will link up with Travis Gideon on the other wing and Jack Townend at full back.

Titans: 15 Jack Townend, 14 Jamie Cooke, 13 Ronnie Du Randt, 12 Joe Mounsey, 11 Travis Gideon, 10 Rob Povey, 9 Max Green, 1 Charlie Capps, 2 Jack Bergmanas, 3 Andrew Foster, 4 John Okafor, 5 Harry Gilson-Fox, 6 Travis Gordon, 7 Harry Newborn, 8 Callum Bustin.

Replacements: Loma Kivalu, Luke Cole, Rikki Stout, Curran Maguire, Ben Copley, Zak Poole, JB Bruzulier, Corben Ollivent, Lloyd Hayes, Frankie Gascoigne.
