St Helens host Castleford Tigers on Friday night and both coaches have confirmed their 21-man squads for the match.
After a week off, both teams will be refreshed on ready to go with the Red Vee hoping to keep their push for a top four alive but also add more distance between themselves and the chasing pack.
As for Castleford, they’re looking to end the season on a high after a poor season which has left them competing in the bottom four of Super League with no play-off hopes.
They landed an upset win over Warrington Wolves ahead of the break, however, it came just one week after a loss to Salford and that inconsistency sums up their season.
As for St Helens, they saw their five-game winning streak come to an end when they lost to Leigh Leopards and Paul Wellens will be looking for a response.
