St Helens youngster Jack Ashworth is set to head to Leigh on loan.
The 21-year-old, who can play second row or centre, is being allowed out despite the pressure mounting on coach Keiron Cunningham.

I'm sure we'd all rather see him in the team ahead of Peyroux but given how unlikely this is with the current coach, a loan move to a super league club seems like the best thing for all at the moment.
Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
Can't disagree.
Thing is, even if we had Joynt & Gilmour as our first choice 2nd rowers, I'd still be wanting the coach to give promising young back rowers some games, both to give them experience and to keep our first choice players fresh.
Cunningham just keeps picking certain players without any semblance of merit, even after they've been sh*t, whilst criticising certain others (usually youngsters) for doing nothing/little wrong.
Garbage tactics aside, this is disgracefully poor man-management
Having dragging the Dominator off after twenty minutes never to return, i hope we've seen the last of him for a while
Nothing this bloke does surprises me.
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.
Might have been written by a footballer about football - but never a truer word............
Who else do we have out on loan?
I'd rather Ashworth was getting game time in SL than in the reserves; i'm sure he feels the same. As soon as next season there should be a place in the 17 for him if he proves himself.
It's unusual to loan a player out to a club that's above us in the league. ;-)
I thought Ashworth was OK. A loan spell may do him good, hope it os only a loan. It also begs the question what happens with Richardson now. We have Smith coming back and JW as KC's preference for back up.
Luke Walsh rates him quite highly in this weeks League Express. He feels he should be given more game time than he's currently getting and feels he's got a great kicking game to mature.

Best thing that can happen to the lad. He'll get game time in a team that playou attractive rugby. Will do him a world of good.
From what I've seen of Leigh this year they're playing a similar style to us but with more aggressive forwards.
The Catalan game was the first time Saints pack played with any fire in their belly
Another baffling decision by the coaching team. Peyroux must have some seriously incriminating photos.
Seriously the lad must be one of the worse second row I have ever seen. No agression, can't tackle, positional play useless. How much longer can he justify putting on the shirt. Then he sends a young lad out on loan. Lets hope he picks up valuable experience and comes back a better player.
