Four teams are in Super League action tonight and the team news is in, with Warrington Wolves welcoming back a key man against Leigh Leopards and St Helens hosting Castleford Tigers who are buoyed by their recent win over Wire.
That loss massively dented Warrington Wolves’ top six hopes, especially given their tough run of fixtures which starts tonight at the Leigh Sports Village.
Adrian Lam’s side have been in fine form and would perhaps argue the break came at a bad time for them given their wins over Wigan Warriors, Hull KR and St Helens.
Saints will be looking to bounce back from that when they host Castleford with the Tigers’ interim head coach Chris Chester considering blooding some young talent.
All four line-ups have now been confirmed so we know who is in and who is out as Leigh Leopards host Warrington Wolves, and Castleford Tigers travel to take on St Helens.
Leigh Leopards v Warrington Wolves team news
Adrian Lam had explained that both Robbie Mulhern and Ethan O’Neill had trained but would be gameday decisions. Neither man is named with Lam backing the same side that did the business against St Helens.
Sam Burgess named Danny Walker to his 21-man squad and the England hooker is selected for the first time since Round 9 when Wire Beat St Helens, a game in which Walker played in the halves. This time, the England man is playing off the bench with Sam Powell starting as expected.
NRL loanee Ryan Matterson is named on the bench with Max Wood recalled as Luke Thomas misses out.
Leigh Leopards XIII: Bailey Hodgson; Keanan Brand, Tesi Niu, Umyla Hanley, Josh Charnley; Gaz O’Brien, Lachlan Lam; Owen Trout, Edwin Ipape, Joe Ofahengaue; Frankie Halton, Jack Hughes, Isaac Liu
Interchanges: Alec Tuitavake, Matt Davis, Andy Badrock, Ben McNamara
Warrington Wolves XIII: Matt Dufty; Jake Thewlis, Connor Wrench, Toby King, Josh Thewlis; George Williams, Marc Sneyd; Luke Yates, Sam Powell, Paul Vaughan; Sam Stone, Lachlan Fitzgibbon, Ben Currie

St Helens v Castleford Tigers team news
Daryl Clark and Jake Burns both missed out last time out, leaving Saints without a recognised hooker but both recovered from their HIA over the break and both return with Clark starting and Burns on the bench.
James Bell was also named to the 21-man squad and Wellens had confirmed that he, like many others, would play for the reserves if he wasn’t selected to the matchday squad. The second-row forward isn’t named though with Joe Batchelor also missing out.
Castleford Tigers saw winger Innes Senior have season-ending surgery on his ankle injury and that opened up the prospect of a possible debut for Andy Djeukessi, with Chris Chester stating that either he or half-back Jenson Windley would feature.
Djeukessi does start on the wing but there is no Windley with Chris Atkin playing in the halves alongside Daejarn Asi, meaning Rowan Milnes also misses out.
St Helens XIII: Tristan Sailor; Kyle Feldt, Harry Robertson, Mark Percival, Owen Dagnall; Moses Mbye, Jonny Lomax; Alex Walmsley, Daryl Clark, Matty Lees; Curtis Sironen, Matt Whitley, Morgan Knowles
Interchanges: George Delaney, Agnatius Paasi, Jake Wingfield, Jake Burns
Castleford Tigers XIII: Fletcher Rooney; Josh Simm, Zac Cini, Louis Senior, Andy Djeukessi; Daejarn Asi, Chris Atkin; Brad Singleton, George Lawler, Tom Amone; Joe Stimson, Alex Mellor, Joe Westerman
Interchanges: Sam Wood, George Griffin, Cain Robb, Sam Hall
