Saints are unchanged ahead of Saturday's Betfred Super League Round 2 clash against Hull FC at the MKM Stadium live on Channel 4 (kick off 12.30pm).
The boss revealed yesterday his squad is naturally ‘sore’ after a tough opening round, but admitted he was in a position to name the same pre-match squad – and this is exactly what he has done.
Mark Percival is fit and is included after being on the wrong-end of a high Dylan Napa shot which resulted in the Dragons forward picking up a four match ban.
On Percival, Woolf said: “It was a direct hit to the head and our medical staff wanted to make sure they got that right and took him off to make sure. That is what we expect them to do, look after the players.”
Will Hopoate and Sione Mata’utia also left the field late in the game, but are both fit and included.
“They have done a fair bit of work with the physio and our main training session is tomorrow and they are all fully fit and joining in that session,” continued Woolf.
“I am confident all of those guys will play – and if one of them didn’t I am confident in the guys we have got underneath with people champing at the bit to come in and get their opportunity.
“But I am confident that all three of those guys are going to play.”
