TITANS will be without influential hooker Ross Batty for tomorrow’s crunch home derby with Doncaster Knights.

The former Newcastle Falcon, who has been one of Rotherham’s key men this year, suffered ankle ligament damage in Saturday’s 31-27 defeat at Moseley, giving head coach Craig West a major pack headache.

With Batty sidelined, Titans are also without both Tinus Du Plessis and Adam Kleeberger—away on international duty—as they prepare to meet a Knights side chasing a fourth straight Championship win and their eighth successive victory against the Clifton Laners.

“Ross was injured at Moseley and we will miss him, but on the positive side Nigel Conroy will revert to hooker and Andy Barnes is available to slot into the back row,” said West.
