 SQUAD NEWS

Head Coach Paul Rowley has made three changes to the 21-man squad for Round 11, with senior duo Kyle Feldt and Curtis Sironen returning to contention. Young prop Alfie Sinclair also comes into the squad after spending the past two weeks on loan at Whitehaven.

The Saints will be without captain Matty Lees, who requires surgery on a knee injury, while Noah Stephens misses out after failing a HIA last Saturday. Nene Macdonald is the third player to drop out of the selection.

The Giants have made six changes to the squad that lost to Warrington last time out.

Adam Clune, Kieran Rush, Archie Sykes, Tanguy Zenon, Connor Wrench, and Jacob Douglas (recalled from loan by St.Helens) all drop out of Liam Finn’s squad for Thursday. They are replaced by Matty English, Joe Greenwood, Logan Blacker, Cole Geyer, Lee Kershaw, and Lewis Jagger.

This looks likely to be Finn’s final match in charge of Huddersfield as Interim Coach, following the announcement of former Gold Coast coach Jim Lenihan as the Giants’ new Head Coach.

 COACH PREVIEW

Rowley insists his side’s focus is firmly on performance ahead of Thursday night’s clash with Huddersfield, despite a tough week following their Challenge Cup exit at the semi-final stage and a short turnaround into this fixture.

Rowley refused to underestimate Huddersfield despite their position at the foot of the table, pointing to their recent victory away at Wigan as evidence of the dangers they can pose, while also praising the work done by interim coach Liam Finn.

💪 KLEMMER EXPECTING RESPONSE AGAINST HUDDERSFIELD

David Klemmer is backing St.Helens to respond in the right way this Thursday night as attention turns to our Round 11 clash with Huddersfield Giants.

Klemmer looked back on the disappointment of last weekend’s Betfred Challenge Cup semi-final defeat to Wigan Warriors, admitting the result hurt the group after falling short in the derby encounter. However, the forward stressed the importance of learning from the setback quickly and using it as motivation moving forward.
