Skipper Craig Cook is doubtful for Oxford RL’s trip to face London Skolars in Kingstone Press League 1 on Sunday.

However, the Blues welcome back Kyle Danns after he missed last week’s 34-22 defeat to Barrow Raiders at Cheltenham due to family commitments.

New signings Stu Biscomb and Charlie Greene are available for the clash at the White Hart Lane Community Sports Centre, Wood Green.

Oxford saw Skolars first-hand last week, as the Londoners were part of the double-header at the Prince of Wales Stadium, where they beat University of Gloucestershire All Golds 34-10.

Blues coach Tim Rumford said: “They are a big side across the board and there’s a fair bit of athleticism about them.

“They are certainly a changed team from the last time we played them, but if we can replicate certain areas of that Barrow game then we will fancy our chances.

“We’re going to have to complete at a high percentage and might have to get into an arm wrestle given the small pitch and the physical nature of the opposition.

“We’ll have to prepare for that dogfight and be disciplined enough to stay in it and take our chances.”
