Bradford Salem could be missing second row John Morrell when they host Selby in Yorkshire Division One on Saturday as his partner is about to give birth.

Salem are already without flanker Jonny Luxton (rib injury) and Damien Pearson (moving house).

However, they have selected Matt Booth at fly half, despite his dismissal in the derby at Ilkley last weekend.

“Things seem to conspire against you when you are at the bottom,” said Salem’s fixture secretary Neil Klenk.

“We thought that Matt should have only got a yellow card, and we are also short in the second row.”

Bradford Salem (home to Selby): J Robinson; A Ahir, K Whata, J Booth, C Savva; M Booth, D Howcroft; D Luxton or C Buxton, J Bradbury, S Davies, J Morrell, D McNicholl, S Dagg, K Falwasser, C Fisher. Replacements: I Woodwiss, Buxton or D Luxton, A N Other.
