Huddersfield Giants v Wigan Warriors team news with massive halfback call for Warriors

The first of two Super League games on Saturday kicks off at 3:00pm, and the team news for Huddersfield Giants v Wigan Warriors is in.

With both sides sitting out last week due to the Challenge Cup final, both will be eager to get the second half of the season underway.

The home side had a narrow loss last time out, losing 28-24 away at Leigh Leopards. With Castleford Tigers’ victory over Hull FC on Friday night, the Giants now face a six-point gap above them as they sit in 11th.

Wigan beat Salford Red Devils 46-6 at the end of May and will be looking to close the four-point gap to Hull KR, who remain top of the league.

The team news for Huddersfield Giants v Wigan Warriors is now in, and here’s how both sides line up for the Saturday afternoon fixture.
