St Helens v Salford: 21-man squads, injury update and TV details

St Helens and Salford have both announced their 21-man squads for Monday night’s round six clash at the Totally Wicked Stadium (KO 7:45pm).

Reigning Super League champions Saints welcome their fans back into their ground as the only club still unbeaten in all competitions, having progressed to the Challenge Cup semi-finals last week after beating Huddersfield.
