The latest round of the Bay of Plenty-Coastline rugby league competition takes place tomorrow with both Rotorua sides playing away from home.

Pikiao are away to Taneatua while Ngongotaha are in Tokoroa playing Pacific.
Taneatua are yet to win this season, but Pikiao coach Jason Parata doesn't want to take anything
for granted.

"I don't think they will be an easy beat, but they are probably not the hardest team in the comp," he said.

Last week Parata welcomed back centre pairing Percy King and Cameron Walters who are likely to line up again today, although he has lost the services of forward Raureti Grace.

"We seem to get one back and one goes off [injured]," said Parata.

Shoulder injury victim, half back Kihiroa Wihapi, will get the opportunity to start his return to first team action with a run in the reserves side that will take on Putauaki in the curtain raiser.

Parata said he might use the opportunity to bring some of the reserve grade players into the premier side.

Games are being played tomorrow as all local referees were involved in the weekend's Rangatahi Maori Rugby League tournament that took place in Rotorua at the weekend.
