Huddersfield v Salford: Squads Announced

Huddersfield and Salford have both announced their 21-man squads for Thursday evening’s Super League fixture at Emerald Headingley Stadium (KO 5:30pm).

The Giants will be looking to extend interim head coach Luke Robinson’s winning run, and earn a fourth consecutive victory for the first time since 2018.

The Red Devils, meanwhile, come into the game on a high after reaching the Challenge Cup Final for the first time in over 50 years, with a 24-22 win over Warrington, last week.
