SAINTS will welcome back Alex Walmsley and Mark Percival from England duty when they head to the Jungle for Saturday’s crunch Challenge Cup tie.

Centre Ryan Morgan, who took a head knock against Warrington, is returns for what is the pivotal game of Saints season.

After the disappointment of last week’s Super League loss at Warrington, where Saints gave up a 14-point lead, joint interim coach Derek Traynor wants the team to put in a consistent 80 minute performance.

He said: “We have been a Jekyll and Hyde team all season and the game on Friday summed up our year.

“You saw the really good side of us and the average side of us too.

“We were very disappointed after getting into the position we did to concede 30 unanswered points.

“The lads were gutted in the dressing rooms but we didn’t help ourselves with errors and our decision making.

“They scored twice when we had the ball too.

“Ideally, you’d have wanted to get into the dressing room at half time at least 14 points up. We played well in that opening 25 minutes and could have had more points.

“But you could sense the momentum move towards the end of the half and at 14-6 you’d have wanted to get in, talk and regroup, but they scored again.

“Then, they started like a whirlwind on the back on another error and ran up the points.

“We lost Jon Wilkin in the warm up and he was a miss.

“He is our captain and an experienced talker and leader on the field.

“It does affect you but we have to be able to handle these things.

“We have a no excuse policy here and you have to be able to handle what is thrown at you.

“Morgan Knowles went well there and did a superb job.”
