Following last Saturday’s reverse at Burnage, Liverpool St Helens will be looking to get back to winning ways at Leigh. With six games to go, although they have now slipped to fourth place, their play-off hopes are still very much alive and there is everything to play for.
Martin Jones reports that inside centre Dave Cunliffe is still absent with a knee injury but he is hopeful that stand off Simon Worsley's hamstring will have improved sufficiently for the trip along the East Lancs Road.
Although Round Ash Park has not been a happy hunting ground for LSH in recent seasons, Martin Jones’ men will be looking for a repeat of the performance that saw them emerge with a 25-3 win over Leigh last November.
Skipper Phil Kearns is well aware of the need to improve on last week’s performance. “The lads were disappointed at Burnage” he said. “We have had a good run since December and need to bounce back at Leigh. We know there are areas where we need to improve and we will be doing our level best to do so this on Saturday”.
