The Eagles host Dewsbury at the OLP tonight looking to complete a league double, against a side which beat Barrow Raiders last weekend.
Aston acknowledged only a win will do to keep a realistic chance of making the play-offs alive, following back-to-back losses against rivals Leigh and York.

“I talked about York being a top five major game, well we didn't win but all we can do is look after ourselves and see if we can get a win on Friday.
“We need to get as high as we can up the league.
“We have a tough game with Toulouse to follow, and then the 1895 Cup semi-final.
“There is plenty to look forward to.”
