The head coaches of Salford Red Devils and Huddersfield Giants have named their 21-man squads for their Super League game on Saturday.
Salford Red Devils were soundly defeated at Elland Road in their Magic Weekend game against Leigh Leopards, where a 26-0 defeat meant they’re now just three points ahead of the Leopards in seventh-place.
It also meant, due to St Helens and Catalans Dragons also losing, that they missed out on the opportunity to move up to fourth.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield Giants survived a late scare to defeat Castleford Tigers and keep their ninth place in the table, winning for the first time since they met Saturday’s opponents at home.

Also missing out are Ollie Partington and Tim Lafai, who received bans from the Match Review Panel after the Magic Weekend defeat to Leigh Leopards.
Coming into the side are Cade Cust, Nathan Connel and Ben Hellewell, who makes a rare appearance in what has been an injury-riddled year for the 21-year-old.
Meanwhile, the away side have made two changes.
Luke Robinson has been able to name Joe Greenwood, returning after injury, while Aidan McGowan also returns to the side after passing HIA protocols.
Harvey Livett drops out, as does Hugo Salabio.
