We would like to wish the best of luck to Jamie Field and Joel Russell who have both joined Newcastle Thunder on loan for an initial two-week spell. Both Field and Russell, who joined the Rams in the off-season from Westgate Common and Shaw Cross Sharks respectively, will be eligible for Newcastle as they face League One leaders Oldham on Sunday at the Gateshead International Stadium. Field has featured twice this season off the bench, whilst Russell has made one appearance against York Knights in the Challenge Cup.
