James Roby is set to make his 500th appearance for St Helens having been named in the 21-man squad for the trip to Leeds Rhinos, one of four Super League fixtures on Friday.
Alex Walmsley is also included after missing the past two matches with a hamstring injury, but Regan Grace misses out after leaving the field with an issue on his return to action in the Challenge Cup at Whitehaven last weekend.
The other change to the Saints squad sees Josh Simm come in as Lewis Baxter drops out, while Will Hopoate (hamstring), Matty Lees (ankle), Sione Mata’utia (hamstring) and James Bell (shoulder) remain absent.
Brad Dwyer is suspended for Leeds Rhinos as they take on St Helens, and that is the only change to their squad with Max Simpson replacing him in their 21.
They remain without David Fusitu’a (knee), Harry Newman (hamstring), Zane Tetevano (suspended), Richie Myler (groin), Tom Holroyd (ankle) and Sam Walters (shoulder).
Theo Fages and Jack Cogger return to the Huddersfield Giants squad ahead of the visit of Catalans Dragons.
Fages has out for the past month with a calf injury while Cogger is yet to play this season because of an ankle injury, but both are now in contention along with Josh Jones, following concussion, and the previously rested Chris Hill and Chris McQueen.
Louis Senior, Nathan Mason, Jack Ashworth, Sam Hewitt and George Roby drop out of the Giants squad with Will Pryce (suspended) and Jake Wardle (ankle) still absent.
Samisoni Langi comes back into the Catalans squad, along with Mathieu Cozza to replace Benjamin Jullien, who suffered concussion in last week’s Challenge Cup win over Featherstone Rovers, and Romain Franco.
Michael McIlorum misses out again with an unspecified injury, joining Arthur Mourgue (ankle), Dean Whare (pectoral), Mitchell Pearce (suspended), Julien Bousquet (arm) and Jordan Dezaria (suspended) on the sidelines.
Castleford Tigers will be without Daniel Smith when they welcome Toulouse Olympique, having picked up a calf problem in their cup win at Leeds.
He is replaced in the Tigers squad by James Clare in the only change, as Danny Richardson (neck), Callum McLelland (knee), Jacques O’Neill (hamstring), Cheyse Blair (hand), Brad Martin (suspended), Sosaia Feki (Achilles) and Ryan Hampshire (hand) remain unavailable.
Toulouse make two changes from the squad named a fortnight ago ahead of their victory over Saints, with Junior Vaivai and James Cunningham returning to the fold.
They replace Ilias Bergal and Hugo Pezet for the Olympians, who are without Latrell Schaumkel (knee), Mathieu Jussaume (ankle), Lloyd White (calf) and Gadwin Springer (knee).
Hull KR make only one change to their squad for the visit of Warrington Wolves, with Lachlan Coote returning following a hamstring injury and Will Dagger dropping out after picking up a knee issue in the Challenge Cup win over Leigh Centurions last week.
Albert Vete, Dean Hadley (both calf) and Luis Johnson (foot) remain out while Brad Takairangi has been stood down.
There’s a welcome return to the Warrington squad for Joe Bullock, who comes back from an elbow injury earlier than expected.
Jack Hughes also returns to their side following suspension, while Ellis Robson and Riley Dean drop out for Wire who are still without Stefan Ratchford (shoulder), James Harrison and Greg Minikin (both knee).
