Rangers have several, Influential players unavailable for this cup tie but strength in depth allows for a strong team, nonetheless.

With no Daniel Clarke available, Joel Thurtle moves into the scrum-half role with Daniel Greenwood moving to Fullback.

Greenwood brings a strong one-on-one defence and an aggressive, first line of attack to the Fullback position, having spent most of his time in the three-quarter line. 

Riley Knapton comes in again on the right wing bringing stability to that edge. 

Pack leader, Austin Hines moves up from second-row to partner Kurt Fisher in the front row. This move comes in the absence of three other props, regular grafter Dexter Alderson, the ever-improving Jack Wenzel and new signing, Lukan Fortunato.

The second-row is occupied by the machine-like Christian Williams and recent signing Will Young who is showing signs of serious talent. 

Domas Flynn gets a chance at loose-forward with regular lock, Marcus Booth taking a rotation on the bench following a training ground knee twinge.

Sam Lee and Dominic Brooke rotate back to the bench but their contributions at hooker will be well received following strong, recent performances. Lee working hard at acting-half for most of the last game against Methley.

Brooke, when on form can grab quick yards from intelligent scoots and the Rangers will be looking for a strong performance from Brooke. 

George Terry makes his debut on the bench and will move into the three-quarter line. George is looking strong in training and is sure to cause problems for defenders with his strong attack. 

Connor Gleeson continues to police the left-edge and so far, has had a strong season.

Connor has a habit of getting himself into attacking positions that can really exploit defences, we just need to get the pass to him at the right time. 

Captain, Jacob Dewhirst Will lead the team from stand-off, assisted by Vice Captain and left centre, Dylan Greenwood. 

Between them, along with Hines as Pack Leader, the Rangers have a strong leadership team and with discipline, and determination on their side, this team will give their all. 

Good luck, Rangers.
