THE TEAM NEWS
HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS
- Huddersfield Giants overcame a slow start as they blitzed Toulouse in the second half of their opening game of the season last week and they will look to build on that as they host Hull KR in their maiden home encounter of the year.
- The Giants ran in 42 points in that success despite the absence of a handful of players but they are boosted by the return of outside backs Jermaine McGillvary and Ricky Leutele, although Will Pryce is once again absent while Jake Wardle is out with the knock he suffered last week.
21-man squad: 2 Jermaine McGillvary, 4 Ricky Leutele, 6 Tui Lolohea, 7 Theo Fages, 8 Chris Hill, 9 Danny Levi, 10 Michael Lawrence, 11 Josh Jones, 12 Chris McQueen, 13 Luke Yates, 14 Matty English, 15 Joe Greenwood, 17 Owen Trout, 18 Sebastine Ikahihifo, 19 Adam O’Brien, 20 Oliver Wilson, 21 Leroy Cudjoe, 22 Louis Senior, 23 Olly Russell, 25 Innes Senior, 31 Olly Ashall-Bott
Unavailable: Ashton Golding, Jack Cogger, Will Pryce, Jake Wardle
Questionable:
HULL KR
- Hull KR produced a disappointing performance against Wigan Warriors last week as their season got off to an underwhelming start but they will hope for better as they aim to record their first win at the John Smith’s Stadium since 2018.
- Rovers struggled to create opportunities with the ball and their hopes of improving on that effort could be impacted by the expected loss of fullback Lachlan Coote who is struggling with a hamstring issue while Albert Vete is banned.
21-man squad: 1 Lachlan Coote, 3 Brad Takairangi, 4 Shaun Kenny-Dowall, 5 Ryan Hall, 7 Jordan Abdull, 9 Matt Parcell, 10 George King, 11 Dean Hadley, 12 Kane Linnett, 13 Matty Storton, 14 Jez Litten, 16 Korbin Sims, 17 Elliot Minchella, 18 Jimmy Keinhorst, 19 Will Dagger, 20 Mikey Lewis, 23 Ethan Ryan, 24 Sam Wood, 25 Greg Richards, 26 Tom Garratt, 27 Frankie Halton
Unavailable: Ben Crooks, Will Maher, Luis Johnson, Albert Vete
Questionable: Lachlan Coote, Elliot Minchella, Ethan Ryan
THE PREDICTION
Huddersfield Giants produced a strong second half showing to run out comfortable victors in their game with Toulouse last week and the Giants will be confident of making it back-to-back wins to begin the campaign as they host Hull KR. The home side showed some good signs with the ball in that game in the south of France while Rovers underwhelmed in attack as Wigan Warriors condemned them to defeat in their season opener. The visitors are capable of responding here but they have lost six of their past seven clashes with the Giants and that run is expected to worsen in this one.
