Huddersfield (3) v Catalans Dragons (10)

Huddersfield second rower Danny Kirmond is back in contention again after seven weeks out with a fractured cheekbone. Jamahl Lolesi (foot) and Andy Raleigh (Achilles) are still missing.

Catalans could be boosted by the return of Jerome Guisset, Adam Mogg and Jason Croker from injury.

Wakefield (6) v Castleford (7)

Wakefield are hoping to add Brad Drew (rib) to the side that beat St Helens last week. James Stosic is not troubled unduly by a fractured eye socket while Tevita Leo-Latu (shoulder) is expected to be fit. Tony Martin (shoulder) is still out.

Castleford's Brett Ferres is missing as he serves a one-game ban while scrum-half Brent Sherwin (foot) and centre James Evans (shoulder) are again unlikely to feature. Sione Faumuina (Achilles) remains on the sidelines but Richard Owen (eye) should play.

Warrington (9) v Salford (13)

Warrington are without full-back Richie Mathers through suspension but are hoping to welcome back up to five players from injury. Adrian Morley (knee), Paul Rauhihi (back), Simon Grix (mouth), Chris Hicks (leg) and Vinnie Anderson are all trying to prove their fitness after lay-offs.

Luke Adamson is hoping to feature for Salford despite having 24 stitches inserted into an eye wound last week. Ian Sibbit (quad) is also in contention but Rob Parker (fractured skull) is not yet ready to return.
