Last weekend, this team was on the road against the Leeds Rhinos and they lost 28-6. Taking a look at their recent fixtures, this team lost to Wakefield in the Challenge Cup round eight, while also struggling against Salford, Hull KR, Catalans Dragons, Wigan Warriors, Hull FC, and Leigh Giants among others.

Key players like Adam Swift, Zac Woolford, Matty English and Kieran Rush, who returned from injury are expected to feature in this game. Previously injected academy players, Jacob Algar and Max Merta have been left out while Liam Sutcliffe and Aidan McGowan face fresh injury. with Sutcliffe appearing to suffer a groin injury in the loss against Leeds Rhinos. Kieran Rush could be set to go straight into the spine as well as Woolford whilst English helps a very young pack out.

The two teams have been disappointing this season and there is no doubt either team could win here.
