Paul Sykes had a hand in four of Dewsbury’s six tries and also landed six goals from seven attempts in a fine all-round display, while winger Alex Brown was named man-of-the-match in only his second game for the Rams.

Lewis Fairhurst also figured for Dewsbury on dual registration from partner club Hemel Stags.

Morrison said: “We brought Brandon in from Castleford and he throws his body about.

“Paul Sykes also took control during the first half but I thought everybody stood up well.

“I was glad that Alex Brown got the man of the match, as usually when wingers don’t score a try they don’t get the recognition they deserve in other areas, but this is what we have brought him in for.”
