The team news is in for this afternoon’s Betfred Super League Round 23 clash against St Helens, brought to you in association with Jadan Press.
The Black & Whites will be looking to return to winning ways this afternoon ahead of a busy few weeks that sees them play five games in twenty days.
Brett Hodgson has made two changes to the side that lined-up against Huddersfield last week, with Mitieli Vulikijapani coming back into the squad alongside Jordan Johnstone.
The pair replace Jack Brown, who drops out with a shoulder injury, and Josh Simm who was recalled by the Saints earlier this week after his loan spell with the club.
Josh Griffin (quad), Adam Swift (leg), Manu Ma’u (hamstring), and Cameron Scott (groin) remain on the sidelines, as well as long-term absentees Carlos Tuimavave (Achilles), Andre Savelio (knee) and Joe Cator (Achilles), and Ligi Sao who serves the third and final game of his three match suspension.
