St Helens Captain James Roby returns to their 21-player squad ahead of the 2020 Betfred World Club Challenge fixture this Saturday at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
Roby has missed the opening three weeks of the Betfred Super League season following a groin injury but is included for this weekend’s fixture.
However, Regan Grace has been ruled out after picking up a concussion in last week’s victory over Hull FC. Lachlan Coote is also sidelined.
Sydney Roosters Captain Boyd Cordner has been ruled out, with Sitili Tupouniua named to start in the second-row.
New recruit Kyle Flanagan is expected to partner Luke Keary in the halves.
🗣 An action packed day for both @sydneyroosters and Saints players culminates in a fun-filled fans forum!
