THE TEAM NEWS

LEIGH LEOPARDS

• It was an excellent season back in the big time for Leigh Leopards as they landed the Challenge Cup with a win over Hull KR at Wembley but they fell short in the play-offs.
• Leigh’s form fell away on the back of that success and they could not cope with the injuries that hit their squad at the back end of the campaign but they should go well again this time around and have added Matt Moylan to their squad who is a high-profile capture.

21-MAN SQUAD: O’Brien, Briscoe, Hardaker, Leutele, Charnley, Moylan, Lam, Amone, Ipape, Mulhern, O’Donnell, Hughes, Asiata, Norman, Davis, Halton, Trout, Nakubuwai, Chamberlain, McNamara, Hanley

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS

• Huddersfield Giants were extremely underwhelming last season as Ian Watson’s side failed to deliver despite bringing in a plethora of new players.
• They will hope for better in 2024 and have added Adam Clune to their squad with the half likely to play a key role in place of Theo Fages who has departed for Catalans Dragons.

21-MAN SQUAD: Connor, Swift, Marsters, Naiqama, Clune, Hill, Milner, Murchie, Hewitt, Golding, English, Wilson, Ikahihifo, Deakin, Wallis, Cudjoe, Livett, Russell, Halsall, Rogers, Salabio

THE PREDICTION

Both of these teams will have their sights set on a place in the play-offs this season but come into this opening game on the back of very different campaigns. Leigh Leopards stunned everybody to lift the Challenge Cup last year while Huddersfield Giants failed to ever get going as they missed out on a spot in the top six when some pundits had them down as winning the Grand Final before a ball was kicked. This could go either way but the Leopards proved how good they can be last year and are given the nod to get this campaign off to a solid start.

TIP: Leigh Leopards to win
