BOOSTED by Sunday's convincing win at Castleford, fifth-placed Saints could move up the table if they overcome London Broncos at Knowsley Road on Sunday, kick-off 6.35pm.

For that to happen Wigan would also need to win at fourth-placed Bradford. But a first-ever Broncos' success over Saints may lift the Londoners into Super League's elite top five.

A Broncos squad no doubt considerably bucked by the cliff-hanging win over Sheffield will lack the services of the injured Martin Offiah, and another ex-Wiganer in Rob Smyth will deputise.

Team: Toshack; Smyth, Ryan, Higgins, Cotton; Tollett, Chapman; Young, Beazley, Dunford, Salter, Retchless, Gill. Substitutes Fatnowna, Carroll, Higgins, Spencer.

Saints' Academy team won 21-20 at Castleford with their tries being scored by Tony Stewart (2), Mark McCully and Gareth Price. Mike Loughlin and Kelvin Peet landed conversions and Peet also dropped a goal
