Bradford & Bingley’s player-coach Stuart Dixon has had problems keeping his team’s feet on the floor this week.

The second-from-bottom Bees had a thumping 37-8 victory over seventh-placed Westoe last weekend at Wagon Lane, and Dixon said: “They think they can beat anybody at the moment, which is nice.

“But we have to temper that with a bit of realism that we are travelling to the side that are fourth in the table on Saturday in Harrogate.

“Nevertheless, our win last weekend was based on a great display by our pack, which was a touch of revenge for them as they got a bit of a mullering in the second half up there.

“I don’t know what has happened to our forwards over the past three weeks but they have really lifted their level.”

The Bees will keep the same 15, apart from Dave Muckalt replacing the unavailable Tom Ball in the pack, while Steve Brimacombe is available again and returns to the bench in place of the unavailable Phil Greaves.

Dixon added: “I just have to find one forward from the second team who has been doing well to fill my one remaining place on the bench.”

Bradford & Bingley (at Harrogate): T Davidson; T Masi, S Dixon, J McBirnie, R Almond; T Jericevich, B Greaves; R Raper, J Graham, R Wederall, R Hughes, B Mitchell, G Ford, D Muckalt, T Cokell. Replacements: To be announced.
