Leigh Leopards are eager to secure their playoff position as they prepare to face St Helens next Friday, with coach Adrian Lam confirming that star hooker Edwin Ipape is set to return after missing two games due to a shoulder injury. Despite a recent loss to Hull KR, Leigh remains just one point above seventh-placed Leeds Rhinos. On the other hand, St Helens has bolstered their squad with the return of five key players, including Tommy Makinson and Mark Percival, as they aim for a top-six finish following a decisive victory over Castleford Tigers. St Helens currently sits fourth in the Super League, two points ahead of Leeds, and are looking to maintain momentum heading into the final regular-season match. Both teams recognize the importance of the upcoming clash, with Leigh needing a win to solidify their playoff spot, while St Helens seeks to enhance their position in the rankings.
