The fans at Belle Vue will be hoping their team can get revenge for the 34-18 defeat to 'Quins at the Stoop in February.

But Kear will be looking for a measured approach from his team. He said: "We have to be patient and they will be at us for 80 minutes.

"We worked well for 50 minutes at the Stoop but then made too many errors in our own 20.

"Harlequins hang in there and they are a nagging team who won't go away but we have learned the lessons from the last meeting.

"With the injuries we have suffered since then, the personnel involved in this game will be radically different but we are confident, playing good rugby league and have started to get the results to match our performances."

Kear has also welcomed Damien Blanch's return to the squad. He said: "It is a massive boost for us. Damien has been training really well this week and now we can unleash him."

New loan signing Matt Daly could also get the chance to make an immediate impact after he was named in the Wildcats' 19-man squad to face 'Quins.

Adam Watene will return from compassionate leave on April 30. Both Danny Sculthorpe and Brad Drew are targeting a return for the Carnegie Challenge Cup fifth round tie at Barrow in two weeks time.

Wildcats 19-man squad for the Harlequins game: Blaymire, Blanch, Martin, Atkins, Rooney, Brough, MacGillivray, Obst, Bibey, Wilkes, Gleeson, Leo-Latu, Grix, Golden, Moore, Bibb, Pitts, Griffin, Dale.
