THE TEAM NEWS

ST. HELENS

• St. Helens continued their march towards a fifth consecutive Super League crown as they recorded an eighth straight win thanks to getting the better of Warrington Wolves last week.
• Saints are building nicely towards the end of season play-offs and their squad is getting stronger too with Alex Walmsley a surprise name in their 21-man squad.

21-man squad: Welsby, Makinson, Hopoate, Percival, Bennison, Lomax, Dodd, Walmsley, Roby, Lees, Mata’utia, Batchelor, Knowles, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Sironen, Bell, Davies, Royle, Hurrell, Delaney, Mbye

HULL FC

• History is repeating itself for Hull FC after they were blown away by Huddersfield Giants last week to make it five losses in-a-row and it is becoming a serious issue how they capitulate at the end of each season.
• Tony Smith has not enjoyed his first season in charge with the Black and Whites coming into their final game sitting in 10th spot and he may turn to some of his younger squad members for this game to see the year out.

21-man squad: Hoy, Swift, Sutcliffe, McIntosh, Clifford, Satae, Savelio, Lane, Fash, Lovodua, Cator, Scott, Brown, Litten, Barron, Gardiner, Taylor, Staveley, Dwyer, Martin, Jebson

THE PREDICTION

St. Helens will take some beating if they are to be prevented from earning yet another Super League title. They are the form team of the competition, alongside rivals Wigan Warriors, and now come up against a woeful Hull FC side. The visitors have been extremely poor of late and having historically struggled against St. Helens, it is hard to see beyond a straightforward success for the hosts who can cover the -24 handicap.
