ST HELENS will have to make do without halfback Lewis Dodd for tonight’s Challenge Cup Sixth Round clash with Leeds Rhinos.
Dodd, who has started the 2024 season in a rich vein of form, has been replaced by Moses Mbye in the halves tonight.
Now head coach Paul Wellens has explained why, saying: “Lewis Dodd, he played really tough last week and we were hoping that come the back end of the week he would be fine to play, but it’s come too soon for him.
“It gives Moses Mbye a chance to play in the halves, somewhere where he did train throughout pre-season.”
