"This is a chance for the kids to show us. I know the ones I will put in are capable. The kids have had to grow up quickly. We have shown them a lot of things in terms of what we expect of them. The likes of Scott Gardner and Ben Parker.
"Scott has done very well. I think a few people saw him for the first time against Wigan (pre-season) and saw that he is well capable. I am pleased because he is growing as well and is getting stronger.
"He reads the game well and has got a lot of pace. We have a few good youngsters coming through and they will help us this year. It may also be a game for people like Tore who haven't played and have missed a lot. He knows he needs a game.
"We still want to add a few players to this squad because it is a long season. "I want a lot of competition for places. But the people who come in have to be right for this group because, at the moment, they are very close.
"It is my group and I will be adding to make it nice and solid and capable of getting where we need to get to. There will probably be one or two going and hopefully three or four coming in. But I do need to get people in first."
