Kristian Woolf’s men played just two games in June – against Warrington and Hull FC – but he is still sweating over the fitness of a number of key men as derby day with Wigan looms on Sunday.
“Jonny Lomax will definitely be available after a slight quad strain – he wouldn’t have played against Cas but the extra time means he is now available,” Woolf said.
“Joel Thompson, at this stage, is probably 50-50 so we will see how he fronts up during the captain’s run.
“He’s been carrying a shoulder injury for the past couple of weeks and re-aggravated it quite early in the Warrington game.
“It certainly caused him some grief and we have had to act on it, so it’s a little bit wait and see.”
Mark Percival has been sidelined since the end of May, but could finally return to the first-team according to Woolf.
“Mark Percival has a really good chance, and we are hopeful that he is going to be right to go.
“He has been out for a number of weeks for us and is a big player for us.
“At this stage all the signs are positive, but we have been really cautious in terms of time.
