Doncaster sit 11th in the table and after a solid start to the season, haven’t won since they posted a 26-19 scoreline against Cleckheato­n in October.

A 51-17 home defeat to Billingham was followed by another 41-28 loss at the hands of Hull last weekend, and after a winless November they are slowly slipping down the table.

They will, though, be looking for revenge as they lost 30-15 at Lockwood Park in the second game of the season and will take positives from the fact that the 15 points scored that day are the most Huddersfie­ld have conceded in a match all season.

“Doncaster Phoenix will be pretty disappoint­ed with their league position at the moment, I’m sure many expected them to be nearer the top end,” said Lewis.

“With this in mind, we must approach this game with a profession­al mentality and play with the pace and power shown last Saturday against Rossendale.”

Lewis has made changes to his starting XV.

Elliot Hodgson moves to inside centre due to Mark Pease suffering an injury, and Danny Grainger goes onto wing.

Rueben Pollard also comes in at loose head prop for Callum Thompson, who is one of the bench choices alongside Ben Hoyle and Tom Kanouros.
