Dewsbury are seven points adrift of second-bottom Batley Bulldogs in Co-op National One, with just six games remaining.

They are at home to Sheffield Eagles tomorrow and coach Warren Jowitt admitted it is a "must-win" game.

Said Jowitt: "We've got to win this one, without a shadow of a doubt.

"If not, everybody's going to be getting further and further away from us and they'll be out of reach shortly.

"We are running out of time."

Jowitt, though, is refusing to give up hope and he believes his team can win at least five of their remaining matches.

"We've got Sheffield, Whitehaven and Featherstone at home and Widnes and Sheffield away and they are all winnable games," said the coach, whose side's other fixture takes them to leaders Salford.

Last week's 70-22 defeat by Salford has left Rams without centres Chris Langley (broken leg) and Chris Hall (knee) and Jowitt has doubts over Josh Weeden, Bryn Powell and Aaron Trinder due to injury, but Lee Lingard could make his debut following a move from Featherstone.

Jowitt said: "We've got a lot of injuries. Our backs are against the wall, but I still think the players we've got are capable of going out and getting a win."

Dewsbury Rams (v Sheffield): Squad not named.

Referee: Gareth Hewer (Whitehaven).

Kick-off: Tomorrow, 3pm.
