SAINTS will be without internationals James Roby and James Graham for tomorrow night’s visit of Castleford Tigers.

The pair are on test match duty with England, who are playing Bobbie Goulding’s France in Paris on Saturday.

The England side appears to have been selected to cause the minimum of disruption to the weekend’s Super league programme.

Castleford also have two of their most promising young players in Paris - centre Michael Shenton and loose forward Joe Westerman.

Apart from the odd graze picked up from the KC Stadium turf, Saints appear to have come through last Friday’s game unscathed.

Although they miss Roby and Graham, Saints will be confident of maintaining their three point lead at the top of the table.

Saints 19-man squad: Wellens, Gidley, Meli, Pryce, Long, Cunningham, Gilmour, Wilkin, Flannery, Hargreaves, Puletua, Clough, Eastmond, Dean, Wheeler, Fa’asavalu Ashurst, Lomax, Emmitt.
