Leigh Leopards team news: A number of doubts
Leigh Leopards and boss Adrian Lam will make a late call on a few players, with Frankie Halton, Umyla Hanley and Isaac Liu all doubtful due to injury but are all named in the squad regardless.
Squad: Keanan Brand, Tesi Niu, Umyla Hanley, Josh Charnley, Adam Cook, Lachlan Lam, Joe Ofahengaue, Edwin Ipape, Robbie Mulhern, Frankie Halton, Owen Trout, Isaac Liu, Aaron Pene, Jacob Alick-Wiencke, Matt Davis Liam Horne, Bailey Hodgson, Innes Senior, Gareth O’Brien, Jack Hughes, Andrew Badrock
St. Helens vs Leigh Leopards prediction
There is real optimism around Leigh Leopards regarding the season ahead when considering the progress made under Adrian Lam. Victory over Leeds Rhinos represented the ideal start and now it’s about going to St. Helens and making a statement. The Saints are perhaps still adapting to life under Paul Rowley and will hope that playing in front of their home fans for the first time this season can spark something within their squad.
However, Leigh are more than capable of matching this St. Helens side minus the injured Jack Welsby and frustrating them the longer this encounter goes on. Despite being on the road, Lam has built a team capable of picking up positive results in tough places and it’s worth considering backing this Leopards squad to pull off a surprise win.
