Salford v Harlequins preview (Round 15)

Harlequins are boosted by the return of three influential regulars for Monday?s crucial engage Super League clash at Salford.

Quins, deep in relegation trouble after winning just one of their last four matches, welcome back stand-off Henry Paul - cup-tied against Barrow last weekend - and captain Mark McLinden, who has recovered from a hand injury.

Experienced second rower Solomon Haumono is also back as the Londoners seek to pull away from their perilous position at the foot of the table.

Catalans Dragons? 28-20 win over Wakefield on Saturday relegated Quins to 11th spot, five points ahead of improving Wigan, but victory at The Willows will lift them three places to eighth.

Salford also need the points but for a very different reason for three defeats in their last four matches have cast doubt over their ability to sustain a top-six challenge.

The Reds are expected to have second rower Andrew Brocklehurst back after missing last week?s cup win over Wigan with a back problem.

Centre Kevin McGuinness, who is still recovering from a torn calf, is the only Salford player unavailable.
