Wibsey’s James Sawyer is out for the season with a shoulder problem.
And worse than that, their coach Dave Grayson reckons the injury could be ‘career-threatening’.
“It is the nature of rugby, I am afraid,” said Grayson.
“'Les' is my vice-captain and I would rather have him out on the pitch but he may be able to help me with the coaching.”
Utility back Dan Horsfall steps in at fly half on Saturday when the SSE Yorkshire Division Five club host Nestle Rowntree, who are one place and one point ahead of the High Street club.
Grayson added: “It is the start of a four-match spell that we are targeting against teams who are below or around us in the table.”
