The Opposition

Off the back of their 40-34 win over Oldham, Midlands are a side full of confidence as they look to replicate last week's heroics.

Hurricanes though are set to be without former Roughyeds winger Cian Tyrer after he was forced off injured.

Mark Dunning will also be without Luis Roberts who also failed a HIA.

Midlands currently sit eighth in the Betfred Championship, but back-to-back wins on Friday would close the gap to just one point behind third-placed Oldham.
