Two of Whitehaven’s newly-signed stars will be in action tomorrow night in a Cumbria Select XIII that will take on Scotland’s Four Nations side.

Marc Shackley and Karl Olstrom, who both joined Whitehaven from neighbours Workington, are set to feature for a Cumbrian Select XIII in aid of Liam Harrison’s Testimonial.

They will be joined by former Town team-mates Liam McAvoy and Kris Coward, plus a host of stars from Barrow Raiders and a couple from the local amateur scene.

Scotland coach Steve McCormack, the former Barrow and Whitehaven boss, has vowed to field every fit player at Barrow’s Craven Park tomorrow night.

And that may well include Workington brothers Brett and Callum Phillips, who are both part of the Scottish set-up.

"I intend on giving everyone some game time on Friday as it’s our only chance to see combinations in action before the Australia game," said McCormack, whose side open their Four Nations account against the Aussie in Hull on October 28.

"Training is not the same as playing, so it’s important we see if we can transfer what we’ve worked on in training this week onto the field.

"We’ve quite a few lads who’ve not played for a month either, so they need some game time.

"One or two others played in the Grand Final or Championship finals, so are just easing themselves back into action this week but they’ll get some minutes too."

Supporters will get a look at some of the Scottish stars in the Barrow encounter, including Super League Grand Final winner Lewis Tierney of Wigan Warriors and runner-up Matty Russell of Warrington, as well as Scotland’s NRL stars.

They include North Queensland Cowboys duo Kane Linnett and Lachlan Coote, Billy McConnachie (Brisbane) and Sheldon Powe-Hobbs (Cairns), Euan Aitken of St George and Tyler Cassel from Sydney’s Wests Tigers.

Prop Luke Douglas, who joins St Helens from Gold Coast Titans next month, does not arrive until Friday having been given extra time due to the recent arrival of his first baby.

McCormack is expected to field a half-back partnership of Huddersfield Giants team-mates Danny Brough and Ryan Brierley, with Coote at full-back and former Workington dual-reg flier Tierney and Russell on opposite wings.

But he also has the option of playing Coote at stand-off and either Tierney, Russell or Dave Scott at full-back.

Leigh Centurions hooker Liam Hood is expected to start with Workington youngster Callum Phillips and Rochdale’s uncapped Ryan Maneely as the back-up number nines.

Scotland will return to Cumbria for their final round-robin game against New Zealand at Workington’s Zebra Claims Stadium on November 11.
