Super League returns tonight but in somewhat daft scheduling there are three matches, all on air at the same time, and the teams have now been confirmed.
Of course, all game are televised with details of those and other rugby league games on TV available here, but the feature game sees Leeds Rhinos host Huddersfield Giants.
Last time out the Rhinos lost and they’re without star man Ash Handley whilst Huddersfield are fresh off the back of a huge Challenge Cup win against Catalans, Ian Watson’s side heading to France and winning 34-6.
The other games tonight see Wigan Warriors host Castleford Tigers tonight a week after dumping them out of the Challenge Cup with a whopping 60-6 win. That game saw a horror injury to Willie Isa which Sylvester Namo has controversially been handed a five-game ban for his role in the incident.
The third match of the night sees St Helens looking to respond from back-t0-back losses against Hull FC who used the week off to sack Tony Smith and appoint Richie Myler as their Director of Rugby.
Leeds Rhinos vs Huddersfield Giants
With Ash Handley out, there’s a timely return for David Fusitu’a whilst for Huddersfield they see Elliot Wallis partner Super League’s top try-scorer Adam Swift on the wing.
Rohan Smith has named his starting line up to face Huddersfield Giants tonight at AMT Headingley, kick off 8pm
