SAINTS Coach Paul Rowley has made two changes to last week's squad for Saturday evening's clash with Wakefield Trinity. (5.30pm).

Wakefield are currently sitting second in the league table ahead of Saints in third on points difference.

Trinity have won their last five Super League fixtures and thrashed Bradford 52-12 last week.

Saints have two players back in contention after injury.

Second rower Shane Wright is available after missing the last two matches with 'a bump’ in from the Good Friday win over Wigan.

Centre Nene Macdonald is also named in the 21-man team, having missed the last six fixtures following surgery on a knee injury.

Deon Cross, who failed a Head Injury Assessment at Hull FC, is out of the squad selection.

Youngster Cole Marsh also steps out of the squad.

Last week's debutant Tom Humphreys retains his spot in the 21.

On Wakefield, coach Paul Rowley said: “They're a big physical side and they play a really good brand of rugby and they know what they're about.

“They've got a clear identity and they're a fantastic club.

“I've got a lot of respect for everybody there and we know it's going to be a really tough game.”
