St Helens head coach makes shock halfback choice in absence of Lewis Dodd

Lewis Dodd will not be playing for St Helens this afternoon against Huddersfield Giants.

That perhaps isn’t a surprise considering head coach Kristian Woolf said he would miss today’s game.

However, his replacement is perhaps a bit of a surprise with James Roby operating in the halves.

It looks as though Roby will spend most of the game at halfback, too, with Agnatius Paasi, Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, James Bell and Dan Norman on the substitutes’ bench who are all forwards.
