There’s two all important Super League points available tonight though, but who will claim them?

Predicted Line-ups

Huddersfield Giants
With Josh Jones suspended and the likes of Jermaine McGillvary, Chris McQueen and Chris Hill rested this game is a chance for other players in Ian Watson’s to put their hand up for a spot in the Challenge Cup Final 17. For Jake Wardle who could come into the team onto the wing, it’s a huge opportunity after an injury hit start to 2022. Elsewhere, we could see Matty English return from suspension to start in the front row whilst Ollie Roberts and Jack Ashworth come into the backrow. Ashton Golding will start on the bench to cover Danny Levi at nine.

Wigan Warriors
Like Huddersfield, Wigan have a few players rested which will likely see Bevan French move to fullback whilst Abbas Miski and Sam Halsall come into the backline. There could also be an appearance for James McDonnell at second-row as Matt Peet gives some of his young talent the chance to put their hand up for a place in the Challenge Cup Final side.
