LEIGH LEOPARDS head coach Adrian Lam has made two changes to the squad that went on to beat Leeds Rhinos in a thriller last Thursday.
Jack Hughes was banned in the aftermath of that 20-16 victory and so drops out of the 21-man squad, as does Ben McNamara.
Jack Ashworth, signed from Castleford Tigers on a deal until the end of the 2028 season, could make his debut, whilst Nathan Wilde has also been included.
Meanwhile, Bradford Bulls boss Kurt Haggerty has been forced into two changes, with Ryan Sutton (thumb) and Phoenix Steinwede (HIA) out with injury.
As a result, Alfie Leake, Leon Ruan and Harvey Ward have been included.
