Favourites tag does not sit well with Powel

They begin their quest for the trophy when Championship rivals Sheffield Eagles arrive at the Bigfellas Stadium tomorrow.

Powell should have Ireland World Cup star Liam Finn, Papua New Guinean recruit Jessie Joe Parker and Tony Tonks all available after they were doubts for last week's postponed opener with Hunslet.

But Powell insisted: "We've got to make sure we don't come unstuck."

In another Yorkshire derby, Halifax host Dewsbury Rams.

Halifax hope Ben Black will return after foot surgery while Rams coach Warren Jowitt says Alex Bretherton and Lee Lingard are both struggling with knee problems.

Keighley Cougars entertain Whitehaven, Hunslet Hawks head to London Skolars, Doncaster travel to Swinton Lions and York City Knights welcome Leigh Centurions.

Batley Bulldogs welcome Widnes to Mount Pleasant.
