THE TEAM NEWS

ST. HELENS

  • St. Helens were well below their best but still got the job done against Leigh Leopards to maintain their perfect start to the season with a third successive victory.
  • Saints only managed to score 12 points in that game but kept things tight defensively once again with just four conceded. They will be forced into a change for this game with Konrad Hurrell picking up a one-game suspension which sees Tee Ritson come into the 21.

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

SALFORD RED DEVILS

  • Salford Red Devils produced a strong performance to get the better of Hull KR last week, guided by a brilliant showing by scrum half Marc Sneyd.
  • Sneyd was at his best as he kicked Rovers to death and he will need to back that up here if the Red Devils are able to make it three straight wins and they could be boosted by the return of Ryan Brierley who was a late withdrawal before the Hull KR game.

21-MAN SQUAD: Brierley, Ryan, Macdonald, Lafai, Cross, Cust, Sneyd, Singleton, Bourouh, Vuniyayawa, Stone, Watkins, Atkin, Wright, Shorrocks, Ormondroyd, Hellewell, Dixon, Foster, Morgan, Hankinson

THE PREDICTION

St. Helens were underwhelming last week but did enough to come out on top against Leigh Leopards and make it three straight wins. They are yet to lose this season and it will take a big effort from Salford Red Devils to be the first team to achieve that feat. However, on the back of a good showing against Hull KR last week to make it back-to-back successes, Salford make appeal with a big start on the handicap and they can capitalise on what is a leveller of a playing surface at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

TIP: SALFORD RED DEVILS +18.5
