THE TEAM NEWS

ST. HELENS

  • St. Helens were impressive once again as the reigning champions made it two wins from two to begin the defence of their title thanks to a straightforward win over 12-man Hull FC last week.
  • Saints were already comfortable before Luke Gale’s red card before they were able to kick on following his dismissal and head coach Kristian Woolf could be boosted by the return of Will Hopoate for this clash.

21-man squad: 1 Jack Welsby, 2 Tommy Makinson, 3 Will Hopoate, 4 Mark Percival, 6 Jonny Lomax, 7 Lewis Dodd, 8 Alex Walmsley, 9 James Roby, 10 Matty Lees, 11 Sione Mata’utia, 12 Joe Batchelor, 13 Morgan Knowles, 14 Joey Lussick, 15 Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 16 Curtis Sironen, 17 Agnatius Paasi, 18 Kyle Amor, 19 Jake Wingfield, 21 Josh Simm, 22 Ben Davies, 23 Konrad Hurrell

Unavailable: Regan Grace, James Bell

Questionable: Will Hopoate

WAKEFIELD TRINITY

  • An under-strength Wakefield Trinity side put up a brilliant fight in the south of France as they fell to a narrow loss to Catalans Dragons but it was ultimately a second successive loss to begin the season.
  • Trinity were hampered by a host of players missing out on that trip and while they still have a handful of absentees for this game, they are at least able to welcome back the quartet of Jacob Miller, Kelepi Tanginoa, David Fifita and Thomas Minns.

21-man squad: 1 Max Jowitt, 2 Tom Johnstone, 5 Tom Lineham, 6 Jacob Miller, 8 Eddie Battye, 10 Tinirau Arona, 11 Matty Ashurst, 12 Kelepi Tanginoa, 13 Jay Pitts, 14 Jordan Crowther, 15 Jai Whitbread, 16 James Batchelor, 19 Liam Kay, 21 Brad Walker, 22 Yusuf Aydin, 24 Harry Bowes, 27 Lewis Murphy, 29 Isaac Shaw, 30 Corey Hall, 31 Thomas Minns, 35 David Fifita

Unavailable: Bill Tupou, Lee Kershaw, Jack Croft, Reece Lyne, Lee Gaskell, Liam Hood, Mason Lino

THE PREDICTION

St. Helens have made an impressive start to the new Super League season and a third straight win is on the cards for them in this contest with Wakefield Trinity. The away side are yet to win this campaign having suffered two narrow losses but this is an extremely tough assignment for them against the reigning champions. Saints were comfortable winners for the second game in succession last week and it is hard to see beyond another big victory with the hosts able to cover the HT/FT winning margin of 9+/13+.
