Great Britain forwards Lee Gilmour and James Graham back from injury and Sean Long, Leon Pryce, Jason Cayless and skipper Paul Sculthorpe all returning after being rested for the cup tie against London Skolars last Sunday.

''We will have a lot of injured players returning to action on Friday night, which gives me some welcome problems on who to leave out,'' said Anderson. ''I have not had that difficulty so far this year.''

Warrington, too, are close to full strength, with Great Britain trio Stuart Reardon, Paul Johnson and skipper Adrian Morley all returning to action, much to the relief of coach Paul Cullen.

''We're looking healthy and we will need our strongest team,'' he said. ''We expect St Helens to be at full strength and hopefully we can get somewhere near that and give the Warrington-Saints derby justice.

''It's an exciting week when you come up against St Helens and we know we are going to have to be at our best.''
