Response called for by Jowitt

Last week, the Rams beat amateurs Drighlington 42-10 in the Challenge Cup but Jowitt was left unimpressed.

He said: "I'm quite sure the players will improve. After the game, they were brassed off with themselves.

"I wasn't happy as a coach, and they weren't happy as a group of players.

"We'll need to be a lot better against Featherstone but I'm sure we'll get a response."

Kyle Briggs and Iain Morrison face late fitness tests before Featherstone coach Daryl Powell names his side.

Brendon Rawlins remains sidelined for Keighley Cougars for the visit of Leigh Centurions, but Jack Howieson could feature for Sheffield Eagles against Widnes Vikings after tests revealed he had suffered less damage than initially feared in a bicep injury.

Doncaster will be without four key players for the visit of South Wales Scorpions in Championship One a week after their shock Challenge Cup defeat to amateurs Siddal.

Nathan Anderson (hamstring) and Aaron Henry (cheekbone) are both out for a month, while Grant Edwards (two months – knee) and Craig Fawcett (six weeks – finger) are also sidelined.

Miller said: "The players' pride was dented by the defeat, as was mine. We have to stick together and work hard to try and put thing things right… only ourselves can dig us out of the hole that we're in."

York City Knights player-coach Chris Thorman could come back into contention at Workington Town after being rested for Wednesday's Northern Rail Cup game against London Skolars.
