Seven St.Helens players will be out on loan this weekend.
Due to a severe and unprecedented injury crisis across the Saints’ squads, and with some intense fixture congestion over the coming weeks, St.Helens are unfortunately unable to fulfil this weekend’s Reserves fixture against Hull KR.
This decision has been made to prioritise player welfare and to try to best serve our younger squad integrity.
St.Helens Reserves were scheduled to play the Robins at Ruskin Drive on Saturday, 8th August 2026, but this match has been cancelled.
Seven Saints will go out on short-term loan for valuable match minutes, though, and we would like to wish them the best of luck for their games this weekend.
Alfie Tate – Salford RLFC – Luca Walsh & Sam Oakes – Swinton Lions
Young Saints forward Alfie Tate will feature for Salford in their big derby clash against Swinton on Saturday at The Brick Community Stadium.
Tate is also set to come up against two fellow Saints in the Lions lineup, with French half-back Luca Walsh and Reserves prop Sam Oakes in the Swinton squad.
Alfie Sinclair & Cole Marsh – Whitehaven
Forward duo Sinclair and Marsh join the Cumbrian side ahead of their match away against Rochdale Hornets on Sunday afternoon.
Luckas Sableman-Blue & Oliver Evans – Halifax Panthers
Outside back Luckas Sableman-Blue and prop Oliver Evans have been regulars in the Saints Reserves in 2026, but with no match this week the two players will be part of Halifax’s squad for their home fixture against Barrow Raiders on Sunday afternoon.
