Two important clashes as we edge closer to the close of the regular season and the start of the play-offs. Following their 0-98 away victory over Warrington last Saturday, Matty Smith’s Women’s side will lift the 2024 Betfred Women’s Super League League Leaders’ Shield following full time of the game against Barrow!
Our Men’s team will look to cement their place in the top six of the table with a win over the Tigers. After suffering an away loss to the Wolves, the Saints are smarting and will be motivated to respond, with the further incentive of getting a result over a side that just edged past us for a famous win last time the Tigers came to town.
🔻 FIRST TEAM SQUAD NEWS
Paul Wellens makes five changes to his St.Helens side, and it is a big boost to see five of our senior players possibly available for selection as we edge closer to the business end of the 2024 season.
Tommy Makinson after serving a two-match suspension returns into Wellens’ selection. Mark Percival, Lewis Dodd, Daryl Clark and James Bell, those four men could make their returns following injuries.
Coming out of the 21-man squad are; Moses Mbye, who picked up a one-match penalty notice following last Saturday’s game against Warrington, Sam Royle, Jonny Vaughan, Harry Robertson and George Whitby.
