THE TEAM NEWS
WARRINGTON WOLVES
- Warrington Wolves’ improved run of form continued as they progressed to the last four of the Challenge Cup with a relatively comfortable success against Catalans Dragons last week.
- That success came off the back of a brilliant second half showing in their last Super League outing against Hull KR in which they overturned a six-point half-time deficit by scoring an eye-catching 38 points in the second period to claim the win.
21-man squad: Akauola, Austin, Butler, Charnley, D. Clark, J. Clark, Cooper, Currie, Davis, Hill, Inglis, King, Lineham, Mamo, Mulhern, Philbin, Ratchford, Roebuck, Thewlis, Walker, Widdop
Unavailable: Matty Ashton, Eribe Doro, Jack Hughes
Questionable: Daryl Clark, Stefan Ratchford
HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS
- Huddersfield Giants were unable to build on their maiden Super League win of the season as Ian Watson’s side could not get the better of St. Helens in last week’s Challenge Cup quarter-final clash.
- The Giants had got off the mark in the league with a last-gasp win over Leeds Rhinos as Lee Gaskell slotted a drop goal to seal the win on the hooter but they will have to be at their best to overcome an in-form Warrington side.
21-man squad: Cogger, Cudjoe, Cunningham, Edwards, English, Gaskell, Gavet, Greenwood, Jones, Lawrence, Leutele, McIntosh, McGillvary, McQueen, O’Brien, Sezer, Trout, Ja. Wardle, Wilson, Wood, Yates
Unavailable: Ashton Golding, Joe Wardle, Jack Ashworth
Questionable: Jake Wardle
THE PREDICTION
Warrington Wolves have won their last three matches while they are also unbeaten in six in all competitions thanks to a victory over Catalans Dragons in their Challenge Cup quarter-final. That form is a far cry from that of Huddersfield Giants who have won just two of their seven games this year, only one of which has occurred in Super League action. They did see off Leeds Rhinos in their last league contest and will hope to build on that as they bid to start climbing up the table but the Wolves have looked impressive of late and the home side should win again.
