Super League teams confirmed for St Helens v Warrington Wolves and Wakefield Trinity v Hull FC

Warrington Wolves

Two Super League games take place tonight with St Helens hosting Warrington Wolves and Hull FC travelling to face Wakefield Trinity, with all four head coaches now confirming their matchday squads.

All four sides progressed to the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup this past weekend but only Wakefield were victorious in Round Four of Super League, managing to get one over Sam Burgess’ Warrington.

Elsewhere Hull FC drew with Leigh Leopards and St Helens suffered their first defeat of the season against Hull KR, teeing that game up against Warrington as a must-win for both sides.

Team news for both games has now been confirmed.
