DONCASTER currently sit just outside the top ten in the Championship table, with two wins from three games.
Last week they had a bye week and they will be keen to get back into action. Their coach Richard Horne has made two changes from the squad that secured a tight 16-12 win in Round 3 at Batley Bulldogs as Jordan Baldwinson and new signing Mitieli Vulikijapani come into the squad to replace Bureta Faraimo, who scored five tries playing for Hunslet at Rochdale last weekend, and Isaac Misky, who is also on loan at Hunslet.
Salford coach Mike Grady is forced into making six changes to his squad, as the Wigan contingent who were on loan and helped them to their first win over Hunslet in Round 3, have returned to their parent club.
But Grady still has some talent to call on, including loanee Jenson Windley from Castleford and Shaun Costello, newly signed from North Wales Crusaders. It would be surprising if his side were pushovers in South Yorkshire.
