St Helens vs Warrington Wolves: Team news, injuries and TV channel as both sides without key forwards

ST HELENS are set to go up against high-flying Warrington Wolves at the Totally Wicked Stadium on Thursday night, live on Sky Sports.

Saints have been inconsistent at the start of the 2023 Super League season, winning four from a possible eight games as Paul Wellens settles into the role of head coach.

Warrington, meanwhile, lost their first game against Wigan Warriors last Friday night – their first loss in nine games!

Team news and injuries

St Helens will be without Jake Wingfield following the youngster’s concussion in last week’s loss to Hull KR, though Joe Batchelor will make his first appearance of the 2023 season.

Warrington will be without the banned Paul Vaughan who has been on fire so far this year, but James Harrison is pushing for a return following injury. Josh Lynch also comes into the squad
