Elsewhere, Dom Manfredi is on course to make his return to action more than two years since his last top-level game.

He has played two reserve games recently since recovering from a serious knee injury.

Sam Tomkins is also set to figure after withdrawing for the 30-10 win against St Helens last Friday.
