THE TEAM NEWS

ST. HELENS

  • After romping to victory over London Broncos in their season opener, St. Helens backed that up with an eye-catching performance as they nilled Huddersfield Giants.
  • That 0-28 success laid down a real marker in this extremely early point of the season but it did come at a cost with Matty Lees picking up a chest injury.

21-MAN SQUAD: Welsby, Makinson, Blake, Percival, Bennison, Lomax, Dodd, Walmsley, Clark, Mata’utia, Knowles, Mbye, Bell, Sironen, Wingfield, Whitley, Delaney, Davies, Royle, Hurrell, Stephens

LEIGH LEOPARDS

  • Leigh Leopards were underwhelming in their game with Huddersfield Giants with their discipline letting them down and they will need to be much better here.
  • They enjoyed the week off last week owing as their game with Wigan Warriors was postponed due to the World Club Challenge taking place but they have some key outs with Edwin Ipape and Tom Amone both ruled out.

21-MAN SQUAD: O’Brien, Briscoe, Hardaker, Leutele, Charnley, Moylan, Lam, Mulhern, O’Donnell, Hughes, Asiata, Norman, Davis, Halton, Trout, Nakubuwai, Chamberlain, Holmes, McNamara, Hanley, Dwyer

THE PREDICTION

St. Helens have made a strong start to the season with just four points conceded in their two games to date and they have to be fancied to claim another victory as they host Leigh Leopards. The away side have only played once so far owing to Wigan Warriors’ participation in last week’s World Club Challenge and coming into this on the back of a disappointing loss to Huddersfield Giants, it is hard to see them sticking with Saints.

TIP: ST. HELENS -14
