Rochdale boosted by six returnees

Rochdale are boosted by the availability of Wayne English, Damien Reid, Gareth Hayes, John Cookson, Phil Wood and Bolu Fagborun.

Hornets coach John Stankevitch confirmed: “They should all be fine for Sunday, so we’ve got a full squad to pick from.”

He added: “South Wales are an unpredictable team.

“If you look at some of the home games they’ve played, they’ve played really well and ground out some victories. They stuck in there against us about four or five weeks ago.

“We’re not going to give them the opportunity to capitalise on our errors again.

“We’ve got to be ruthless this weekend because they stick in there and pinch points late on in games.”

Scorpions coach Anthony Seibold said: “Rochdale have put many teams to the sword at Spotland this season.

“We know they have many threats including Phil Wood and Wayne English among others, and we are working hard this week to get a good performance.

“There is some pressure on Rochdale at present as one of the teams above us, and one of the teams touted only a few weeks ago as potential promotion candidates.”
