LANCASHIRE Lynx face former boss Kevin Tamati in a rearranged fixture with Whithaven Warriors tonight.

Victory at the Recreation Ground in the Northern Ford Premiership would move Steve Hampson's men up into fifth place in the table.

But so far, despite winning their opening two home fixtures, their away form has been poor.

This will be Lynx's second trip to the Recreation Ground this season, having already lost in the Silk Cut Cup in a game.

Hampson was hoping to have two further signings on show in the shape of ex-Warrington hooker Andy Bennett and, also from Warrington, centre John Welsh. Steve Gee is doubtful after picking up a leg injury against Dewsbury, while Tommy Hodgkinson might be fit to rejoin the squad after injury problems.

Whitehaven may struggle to shake off the effects of a long journey to London last weekend when they lost heavily to the London Broncos in the quarter final of the Silk Cut Trophy.

Lynx will have to keep a close watch on Craig Chambers, who was a real handful in the cup encounter. Another player in fine form for the Warriors is half back Leroy Joe, along with winger Graeme Lewthwaite.

Lynx will select from: Murray, David Jones, Abram, O'Loughlin, Parsley, Phil Jones, Flanagan, Norton, Walsh, White, Gee, Gildert, Solomon, Prest, Guest, Smith, Bennett, Welsh, Hodgkinson, Campbell. Kick off: 7.30pm
