KEITH Latham has back trouble ahead of Leigh Centurions' tough away game at Whitehaven Warriors tonight.

Centurions' coach Latham must make two changes to the back division that played a big part in upsetting title contenders Hull KR in Leigh's last match.

Stand-off James Arkwright (cut head) and Alan Hadcroft (shoulder) both miss the trip to Cumbria along with David Ingram who has still not recovered from a groin problem.

Jason O'Loughlin switches from scrum-half to replace Arkwright while David Hill is promoted from the bench to take over on the wing from Hadcroft.

But Jason Donohue is back to lead the side after his loan spell from Hull Sharks has been extended by a month. Donohue returns at scrum-half after being out for two weeks with a damaged shoulder.

Despite his selection problems, Latham remains in an upbeat mood.

"The injuries have come as a blow but confidence in the dressing room is sky-high after beating Hull KR so convincingly," he says.

"We know what a tough job faces us at the Recreation Ground, but a repeat of the the Hull KR effort should be good enough for victory."

Leigh's line-up is: Donlan; Wingfield, Purtill, Kendrick, Hill; O'Loughlin, Donohue; Street, Murray, Pucill, Whittle, Grundy, Costello. Subs: Gunning, Jenkins, Liku, Garces.
