Super League Team News: Leeds Rhinos loanee out for Hull FC as St Helens lose stars through injury

The team news is in for Saturday’s three Super League games, with Wigan Warriors, St Helens and Hull FC among those in action.

The Warriors travel to the Black and Whites in the first game of the afternoon, and it is a game that can be watched for free on SuperLeague+.

Following that, Toulouse Olympique host Leigh Leopards in what is set to be an extremely hot afternoon for rugby.

We then go from France to Odsal, where Bradford Bulls will be looking to pull off an upset win over St Helens, after going close to doing just that earlier in the season.

With the squads now confirmed, here is all the latest team news you need to know ahead of Saturday’s triple header.
