THE TEAM NEWS
TOULOUSE
- Toulouse were the best team during the Championship last year and booked their spot in Super League for the first time with a comfortable success against Featherstone Rovers in the Million Pound Game.
- The French outfit will have fancied their chances of a solid campaign but their hopes have suffered a huge blow with the loss of key man Johnathon Ford while Mark Kheirallah’s future is also in doubt and he will miss this contest with Toulouse lacking quality in crucial positions as a result.
21-man squad: 3 Junior Vaivai, 5 Paul Marcon, 7 Lucas Albert, 8 Romain Navarrete, 9 Lloyd White, 11 Andrew Dixon, 12 Dom Peyroux, 13 Anthony Marion, 14 Eloi Pelissier, 15 Maxime Puech, 16 Joe Bretherton, 17 Joseph Paulo, 18 Mitch Garbutt, 19 James Cunningham, 20 Ilias Bergal, 21 Chris Hankinson, 23 Justin Sangare, 24 Guy Armitage, 25 Matty Russell, 31 Tony Gigot, Maxime Stefani
Unavailable: Mark Kheirallah, Latrell Schaumkel, Mathieu Jussaume, Harrison Hansen, Gadwin Springer

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS
- Huddersfield Giants endured a frustrating campaign in head coach Ian Watson’s first year in charge and they will be hoping for much better this time around with a new halfback pairing at their disposal.
- Theo Fages and Tui Lolohea will link-up in what could prove to be a superb partnership and with exciting fullback Will Pryce at fullback, the youngster with superstar potential will be looking to build on the eye-catching start that he made to his career.
21-man squad: 1 Will Pryce, 3 Jake Wardle, 6 Tui Lolohea, 7 Theo Fages, 8 Chris Hill, 9 Danny Levi, 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, 21 Leroy Cudjoe, 22 Louis Senior, 23 Olly Russell, 24 Ollie Roberts, 25 Innes Senior, 27 Jack Ashworth, 31 Olly Ashall-Bott
Unavailable: Jermaine McGillvary, Ricky Leutele, Ashton Golding, Michael Lawrence, Jack Cogger, Oliver Wilson

THE PREDICTION
Toulouse’s maiden season in Super League could prove to be a difficult one having lost two key men before the start of the campaign. With Johnathon Ford departing the club and Mark Kheirallah potentially following, they are short on quality in terms of creativity and it could turn out to be costly. There will be a big fanfare ahead of this game despite those recent blows but Huddersfield Giants arrive with a point to prove after an underwhelming season in 2021 and with the away side possessing no such issues in terms of their playmaking talent, the Giants can begin the new season with a win, covering the -8 handicap in the process.
