St. Helens Team News: Cross could debut

Leeds Rhinos Team News: Unchanged squad

Despite there being doubts over his fitness, Leeds Rhinos winger Ryan Hall has recovered fast from an injury suffered last time out against Hull KR and is named in what is an unchanged squad for the Rhinos.

Squad: Lachie Miller, Harry Newman, Ash Handley, Ryan Hall, Matt Frawley, Mikolaj Oledzki, Keenan Palasia, James Bentley, James McDonnell, Jarrod O’Connor, Sam Lisone, Morgan Gannon, Cooper Jenkins, Jake Connor, Tom Holroyd, Jack Sinfield, Alfie Edgell, Tom Nicholson-Watton, Riley Lumb, Kallum Watkins, Presley Cassell

St. Helens vs Leeds Rhinos Prediction

These two teams last faced off back in March, with St. Helens coming out on top 22-14 over Leeds Rhinos. Since then, the Saints have won just twice, losing to the likes of Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves on three separate occasions. Whilst Leeds Rhinos have been inconsistent, they have the ability to beat anyone on their day.

A close encounter could be in the offing here between two of Super League’s heavy hitters. Leeds Rhinos have been strong on defence recently and with the Saints having failed to come up clutch in big games throughout much of the season so far, backing Leeds Rhinos should be seriously considered in this one.
