Rugby League Coaching Manuals

Hull (2) v Castleford (7) - Hooker Shaun Berrigan has shaken off a shoulder injury sustained in last Sunday's 36-24 win at Bradford, which will enable coach Richard Agar to name an unchanged team for the third successive week as they seek to maintain their 100% record.

Castleford will give centre Michael Shenton a late fitness test on the "dead leg" he suffered in the defeat by Huddersfield - winger Michael Wainwright is standing by for a call-up - while prop Liam Higgins could face his old club after recovering from a knee injury.

Salford (11) v Wigan (9) - Former Wigan winger Andrew Thornley, who scored a try on his Reds debut in last week's 38-12 defeat at St Helens, makes way for the return of scrum-half Richie Myler, who has recovered from a hand injury. Second rower Ian Sibbit, who this week avoided a drugs ban, and prop Lee Jewitt are both hoping to return from injury and illness respectively.

Wigan coach Brian Noble has relegated Australian winger Amos Roberts to the reserves so Karl Pryce is poised to make his second appearance for the club. Prop Paul Prescott is also in contention for his first Super League outing of the season.

St Helens (3) v Leeds (1) - St Helens welcome back centre Lee Gilmour, who missed last week's 38-12 win over Salford with a facial injury, which will enable Chris Flannery to revert to his traditional place in the back row in place of teenager Andrew Dixon, who is out with a wrist injury. England forward Maurie Fa'asavalu returns from suspension but prop Tony Puletua is still sidelined with a groin injury.

Leeds have both centre Keith Senior and hooker Matt Diskin back after missing last week's 34-10 win over Wigan through injury but second rower Ali Lauitiiti is ruled out with a leg problem.
