Super League round eight team news

Huddersfield Giants v Leeds Rhinos:

Starting with the West Yorkshire derby, Huddersfield welcome back Sam Halsall into the side, as the outside back lines up at centre in place of Connor Wrench.

Barring that, the Giants remain unchanged following their victory over York in round seven, as they look to earn a third win in a row.

Leeds keep the same 17 that defeated Bradford Bulls a fortnight ago, but two players have switched between the bench and the starting 13.

Keenan Palasia is promoted to the starting side, and will feature at loose forward, meaning that Kallum Watkins takes his place amongst the substitutes.

Huddersfield Giants: Niall Evalds, Jacob Douglas, Sam Halsall, Jacob Gagai, Adam Swift, Tui Lolohea, Adam Clune, George King, Zac Woolford, Fenton Rogers, Asher O’Donnell, Chris Patolo, Tristan Powell

Bench: Taane Milne, Tom Burgess, Mathieu Cozza, Oliver Russell

Leeds Rhinos: Lachie Miller, Maika Sivo, Ash Handley, Jack Bird, Ryan Hall, Brodie Croft, Jake Connor, Tom Holroyd, Jarrod O’Connor, Cooper Jenkins, Chris Hankinson, James McDonnell, Keenan Palasia

Bench: Danny Levi, Mikolaj Oledzki, Kallum Watkins, Cameron Smith

York Knights v Leigh Leopards:

With Will Dagger still out, David Nofoaluma slots in a full-back, whilst there is a debut for Cody Hunter, on loan from Newcastle Thunder. He starts in the halves alongside Ata Hingano, meaning that Paul McShane reverts back to his natural position of hooker.

Leeds loanee Ben Littlewood starts at loose forward, whilst Myles Harrison retains his place on the wing after appearing in last week’s Challenge Cup defeat.

Leigh meanwhile have opted to use Innes Senior and Jack Hughes in the centres due to the injuries to Tesi Niu and Umyla Hanley.

With Senior moving inside, it means AJ Towse gets a start, whilst there is also a return for Frankie Halton in the back row.

Edwin Ipape remains in the side after his return last week, someone who will be key to Leigh if they are to win this evening.

York Knights: David Nofoaluma, Myles Harrison, Kieran Buchanan, Sam Wood, Scott Galeano, Ata Hingano, Cody Hunter, Jack Martin, Paul McShane, Paul Vaughan, Oli Field, Jesse Dee, Ben Littlewood

Bench: Denive Balmforth, Josh Griffin, Xavier Va’a, Sam Cook

Leigh Leopards: Gareth O’Brien, AJ Towse, Innes Senior, Jack Hughes, Josh Charnley, Adam Cook, Lachlan Lam, Joe Ofahengaue, Edwin Ipape, Robbie Mulhern, Frankie Halton, Owen Trout, Isaac Liu

Bench: Ben McNamara, Louis Brogan, Jacob Alick-Wienkce, Liam Horne
