THE TEAM NEWS
LEIGH LEOPARDS
- Leigh Leopards produced arguably their worst performance of the season as they were outclassed by local rivals Wigan Warriors last week.
- The Leopards never really got going, struggling to break Wigan down and failing to limit their opponents with the ball and they will be forced into a change here with Gareth O’Brien ruled out with a head knock.
21-man squad: Hardaker, Briscoe, Chamberlain, Leutele, Charnley, Mellor, Lam, Amone, Ipape, Mulhern, Hughes, Asiata, Nakubuwai, Reynolds, Holmes, Davis, Nisbet, O’Donnell, Wilde, Hanley, Seumanufagai
Unavailable: Joe Wardle (Injured), Gareth O’Brien (Injured)
Questionable: Ben Nakubuwai
SALFORD RED DEVILS
- Salford Red Devils were second best in their clash with Huddersfield Giants last week as they made it back-to-back defeats.
- The Red Devils have been hit with some key injuries in the early part of the season and have several nursing injuries with Joe Burgess and Andy Ackers struggling to prove their fitness for this one despite being named in the 21-man squad.
21-man squad: Brierley, Sio, Watkins, Burgess, Croft, Sneyd, Ormondroyd, Ackers, Vuniyayawa, Dixon, Stone, Atkin, Addy, Dupree, Wright, Longstaff, Williams, Costello, Hellewell, Cross
Unavailable: Alex Gerrard (Injured), Oliver Partington (Injured), Tim Lafai (Injured)
Questionable: Andy Ackers, Joe Burgess
THE PREDICTION
Leigh Leopards were not good enough to get the better of Wigan Warriors last week and will be hoping to produce a response as they host Salford Red Devils. The away side toppled the hosts in their first clash in round 1 and will be looking for a repeat result, although they too will need to be better having suffered a second successive loss last week. However, the Red Devils should have enough to claim the win and they can edge this to return to winning ways.
