On January 13 Sheffield Eagles destroyed a toothless Cougars 60-0.

That was Gary Moorby's first game in charge, and he will desperate to show the world how far his boys have come since that dark day.

Tomorrow's match may only be another round of the largely irrelevant Mickey Mouse cup, but it is a matter of pride for the young Keighley side.

Both Doncaster and Hull have easily despatched the Jason Ramshaw-less Cougars and Moorby will be keen to halt the slide as soon as possible.

"We don't need to motivate the players for this one," said Moorby, keen to prove a point at the Don Valley Stadium in the National League Cup.

"I am not going to gee the boys up, there is no need to. They humiliated us last time.

"That result embarrassed me in my first game in charge, but I wasn't the one out on the pitch being rolled over.

"It was these players who let themselves be embarrassed in that game, and it is up to them to stop it happening again.

"I will be looking for a better performance. They are a straight up and down side and I think they are beatable."

Moorby is looking to get back to winning ways as soon as possible, and is hopeful of two victories in the next three games - Featherstone visit Cougar Park on Wednesday and then the Cougars head up the A1 to Gateshead in two weeks' time.

As has been well-documented, Moorby is unable to make many changes to the team beaten by Doncaster due to a lack of options.

Winger Max Tomlinson will be in the squad for the first time this year, but is unlikely to figure in the game.

The rest of the squad remains the same, although the starting line-up will not be revealed until just prior to kick-off.

James Rushforth looks set to keep hold of the captain's armband and teenage prospect Matthew Steel will continue his run in the first team.

Eagles boss Mark Aston, meanwhile, will hand former Great Britain student winger John Breakinbury his debut chance against the Cougars.

Andy Brent, Wayne Kite and Adrian Flynn are also in line to return from injury.
