Huddersfield Giants and Wakefield Trinity confirm line-ups as Daryl Powell makes key half-back change

Huddersfield Giants and Wakefield Trinity have confirmed their line-ups for this afternoon’s Super League clash.

The tie sees two West Yorkshire sides culminate round two, and after another week of exciting action, both sides will be looking to get their first win of 2026.

There are a number of injuries for both sides, and plenty of stars that will be sat on the sidelines. Huddersfield will be praying their injury situation won’t reach the level of last season, but with the likes of Niall Evalds, Adam Clune, Adam Swift and Liam Sutcliffe all out, there has already been plenty of shuffling around.

Wakefield, meanwhile remain without England international Tom Johnstone, as he recovers from a knee issue. Caius Faatili also remains sidelined, and will have to wait until at least round three before making his first Super League appearance of the season.

George Flanagan Jr will continue at full-back, whilst the rest of the spine sees Tui Lolohea, Oliver Russell and Zac Woolford link-up, as they look to provide some attacking threat.
