THE TEAM NEWS

WIGAN WARRIORS

• Wigan Warriors stunned NRL champions Penrith Panthers to land the World Club Challenge last week, backing up their win over Castleford Tigers in their opening Super League contest.
• The Warriors will be on a huge high after last week’s effort and while they have lost Mike Cooper and Kruise Leeming, Luke Thompson is a welcome addition to the squad after sitting out the WCC with concussion.

21-MAN SQUAD: Field, Miski, Keighran, Wardle, Marshall, French, Smith, O’Neill, Byrne, Isa, Farrell, Ellis, Mago, Thompson, Dupree, Hill, Hampshire, Chan, Eckersley, Forber, Farrimond

HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS

• Huddersfield Giants failed to build on their opening game success as they were swept aside by St. Helens last week, failing to score a single point in that defeat.
• The 0-28 reverse will have been alarming for head coach Ian Watson and he will be demanding a response here with fullback Jake Connor coming back into contention.

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

THE PREDICTION

Wigan Warriors were excellent last week as they clinched the World Club Challenge with a gusty display against NRL champions Penrith Panthers. That win is somewhat ominous for the rest of Super League and only served to highlight that the defending champions will be the team to beat this season. Huddersfield Giants were played off the pitch against St. Helens last week and having failed to score a single point in that contest, it is tough to see them breaking down the sturdy defence of the Warriors.

TIP: WIGAN WARRIORS -11.5
