Warrington Wolves v Hull KR (20.00) - Halliwell Jones Stadium

Daryl Powell has made just the one change to his Warrington 21-man squad ahead of Friday's clash with Hull KR. Youngster Leon Hayes replaces Tom Whitehead, with Gil Dudson serving the final game of his five match suspension this week.

Hull KR will be without the services of experienced full-back Lachlan Coote for the next month after he suffered a hamstring injury last week. Coote - who this week announced his retirement at the end of the 2023 season - is replaced by Louis Senior. 

Wigan Warriors v Leeds Rhinos (20.00) - Sky Sports Arena

The Warriors are bolstered by the return of experienced duo Willie Isa and Cade Cust ahead of Round 12. Isa returns having served a two-match ban picked up against Wakefield, whilst Cade Cust is again available for the first time since Round 6 after overcoming an injury. Liam Marshall is again included despite missing the last two games through injury. 

Jack Sinfield drops out of the Rhinos squad due to HIA protocols after leaving the field during last weeks defeat to Salford. Former Warrior James McDonnell is also unavailable after suffering an arm injury in Round 11.

Saturday 13 May

St Helens v Salford Red Devils (13.00) - Channel 4

St Helens' skipper James Roby could become the club's all-time record appearance holder against the Red Devils on Saturday.

Konrad Hurrell drops out of the Saints squad in Round 12, as does youngster Lewis Baxter. Front rower Dan Norman returns to the squad after recovering from injury, with Ben Davies also included following a successful short loan spell at Swinton Lions last weekend.

The Red Devils are boosted by the inclusion of Ryan Brierley in their 21-man squad. Brierley was a doubt due to an eye injury sustained against Leeds last week, but has been included in the Salford squad ahead of Saturday's trip to the Champions.
