Wade Liddell and former centre Damien Reed both previously touched down in six consecutive games. Black said: "It would be great to equal the record and beat Barrow but there are another 12 guys in the side and it is a team game." Black has scored nine tries in 12 appearances for Gateshead and the youngster will be looking to maintain his impressive strike rate. He said: "It is about getting in the right position to score and, while I am happy with the way it is going at Gateshead, getting the two points is what counts." Tonight's victors will go fifth in the table with Thunder having played five of their opening seven NL2 games away from Tyneside. Black added: "We have the potential to make the top three and if we win our home games we will be half way towards the finals." Coach Dean Thomas has urged his side to back up Sunday's first-ever win at Workington with another win. He said: "The club is buzzing after the win at Derwent Park For the Hobart suburb, see .

"We have won both of our home league games so far and it is important we make the Thunderdome Fortress Gateshead if we are to look to push on."
