21-man squads have been named ahead of two Challenge Cup Quarter Final fixtures.
Both games will be hosted on Saturday at Salford’s AJ Bell Stadium as part of a televised double-header. Warrington and St Helens will clash in a repeat of last year’s final at 2:30pm on BBC One, while Wigan and Hull FC will battle at 5pm on BBC Two.

Jason Clark, Matt Davis, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, Matty Davis and Joe Philbin all return to boost Steve Price’s forward pack. Daryl Clark, who didn’t play last week due to his wife giving birth, immediately returns.
