Predicted Line-ups

St Helens
With an unchanged squad, Kristian Woolf won’t be making many changes to a side who defeated their major title rivals. However, Alex Walmsley will of course return to the 17 as starting prop with Agnatius Paasi dropping to the bench and either Jake Winfield or Dan Norman missing out.

Huddersfield Giants
Like the Saints, Ian Watson won’t be forced into any changes but will likely make them any. Oliver Wilson will likely return at prop and Josh Jones to the backrow with Sam Hewitt and Joe Greenwood dropping to the bench subsequently. Theo Fages will play his first game at the Totally Wicked Stadium as a Giant but the more fascinating question is who will join him? Will Olly Russell keep his spot or will Watson turn to Will Pryce?
