Huddersfield v Warrington: Squads Announced

Huddersfield and Warrington have both announced their 21-man squads for Saturday evening’s fixture at the Totally Wicked Stadium (KO 6:30pm).

The two sides were meant to face each other earlier in the day, however following the re-shuffle of this weekend’s fixtures to accommodate for Hull FC and Salford’s absence due to eight Black and Whites playing and coaching staff testing positive for Covid-19, will now play in the evening.

The Giants are back in action after having a week off from competition, and will be looking to bounce back after their golden point loss to Leeds, while the Wolves will be hoping to build more momentum after a convincing win over Hull KR.
