St Helens and Catalans Dragons are the teams that make the most changes to their squads for their final-round matches of the regular season.
Saints coach Kristian Woolf has named a 20-man squad that is missing eight players from the squad that was named against Leeds Rhinos last week, as Woolf rests some of his key stars before starting the play-off campaign at the start of next month.
Catalans Dragons coach Steve McNamara has taken the opposite approach, recalling eight of his stars who were absent from their home defeat against Huddersfield Giants last Saturday.
The Dragons will face Wigan, for whom Willie Isa returns after suspension, at the DW Stadium on Friday.
